summertime!

oooo, but i love the seasons up north! actual changes in weather and flora, it appeals to my need to stay rut-free. now is summer - 80's to 90's, low humidity, lovely breezes, blueblue skies and flowers blooming. it's come so quickly, though, i want to squeeze out as much time as possible outside in my hammock.

and in other news: a new car! well, new to me - a 2002 small suv. splurged on something that will meet my hauling and wintertime needs, and something that an adult would drive. and i feel my self-esteem rise, too - how materialistic! but it's not breaking my bank, gets good gas mileage, and in great shape, so i think the guilt will be short-lived.

pup is doing well - her usual summer symptoms have come and gone - liquid vomit on really hot days, a couple of inside accidents, low appetite. recovering pretty well now, as long as i keep the ac going for her.

next on my schedule - more gardening projects! move the tool shed, expand the front flower beds, start collecting materials for a second retaining wall. it never ends. thank goodness.

glad the pup is doing well...
I am going to embark on y first long trip with duncan in august....
drive to NC fro PA.

Just brought in a new kitten, too...worried about that a bit... but he thinks hes her mother... she thinks it too, so that was stress free for him...

not so much for my other cat... got the kitty because Morgan lost her cat companions over the last few years... and I wanted her to have company....she has yet to warm up to thebaby.. but will, I hope.... I want them to have each other while we are gone.

Duncan has been doing great, but this is the worst time of year for us... several of my neighbors have nothing better to do than to set off fireworks for two weeks...rough on dunkers... we both end up frazzled by the end of it....


my garden sucks this year... i have given it the same loving care as alway... and it looks ragged and burned. All but my morning glories which are looking to be lovely as always... thank goodness! Jury is still out on the trumpet vine.....
