Another delicious day cooked up by mother nature...

The weather here has been untouchable. We just got home from a good old fashioned back alley walk with the dogs and it was just perfect. Earlier we went for a ride on the Titan to Michael's. There is nothing funnier than roaring (his bike is LOUD man!) into the parking lot with a big bald headed tough looking tattooed guy and then going into a craft store to look at shiny baubles. Promise. Mr. F is now across the parking lot bettering his mothers castle with recessed lighting. What better time to blog?

Today was so satisfying. I groomed a little guy that has obviously been shown getting groomed is the scariest thing you could ever encounter and it's best if you fight for your life. By the end of the session he was still a little freaked out but standing still and letting me do things to him without jumping a mile if I so much as blinked. In my world, that's as close to world peace as you get. Tomorrow I groom the Bichon named Bobbie that is a girl. I'm a big fan of girl dogs with male names. I wanted to name Tabitha Billie but Mr. F knew a Billie and anything in her remembrance is sacrilege in his eyes. Tabitha it is.

The Arabian horse show was pretty neat except for the fact that it was dominated to the point of frustration. I don't want to get into it but I have learned my lesson and that is always very helpful for future reference now isn't it? I got a couple of decent pictures and I will go to the next one without the force that took away some of the goodness I was looking forward to. :) Some of the horses were worth millions and it came across like they knew it.

And then we have the yard... Tabitha has made it her own little puppy mission from God to sneak away when we are not looking and dig holes in the newly acquired grass every chance she gets. So that's cool. I have caught her in the act a few times now so she's getting the picture. I can't really blame her since it IS nice soft fluffy dirt with all the past sifting and big rocks out of the way. It looks like fun too. It's damaging my calm. I have also got to learn how to master the art of sliding the screen door shut. We went ahead and planted the bermuda grass. It's going to be a mixture of rye and bermuda. When the rye dries out in the hot summer months, we'll have the bermuda. When the bermuda goes dormant from the winter chill, we'll have rye. Excellent. So here are some of the plant photos we have. Oh, some more exciting news. The bamboo plant in the atrium has flowered.

And the latest jewelry. But first I would like to give a warning about the last slide show. This one is for you Miss Smith so I'm going to need your full undivided attention. If you don't want to see it until it's in your hands, don't continue watching the slide show after it reads STOP LOOKING NOW. You love it.

I am now going to make more jewelry. The art show is on Saturday! I need four more pieces!! I have so many cool colors and charms and such it's hard to make up my mind on what to make. Over & Out.
