Productive or Funny

Here is Sage telling her mother off. Yep - she is one of THOSE!

I managed to get everyone combed out early today though you can't tell. I even took out weeds that were as high as a birdbath around my daylillies at the pool. You can't tell, I am told. LOL I did ask. What did you do? You see those 2 bags full? I pulled out all those weeds there. Really?I may shoot someone.

Tomorrow, I may pull another bunch as those nasty seeds is coming out - the nice ones that get caught in their coat. Dennis said to me you can't expect me to weed too - do you? Well I do pups, weed, water, groom so why not. LOL I found myself dreaming of an easy care yard with flagstone everywhere and plants just in pots. One can dream.

While I was doing this dreaming and yanking out weeds, Nathan was inside with the pups and I had the dogs staring in wonder at what I was doing. They laughed, I swear when they saw me drag 2 pots that I could hardly move from one deck to the other. 

I am still not finished. I need to get rid of old pots, broken statues and all that fun stuff. I gave that job to Dennis but we shall see. 

The dogs are really enjoying the comfort of chair pads to lay on and a gazebo to lay under that actually gives nice shade. i want another one for the bottom deck but it has to be on sale and not as large as the top as the bottom deck is smaller... for shame. About that dreaming I was thinking cement patio - 2 level, tiles, sun room over it. It is strange where your mind wanders when weeding. Oh yeak a lottery win would have to happen too. Fat chance but nice to dream at times.

Dogs are truly enjoying each other, Sage is truly a brat. Leti is done breeding and I have no doubt she is pregnant.

Here is today's gallery.

The end of this month we will have some craziness. Our grand daughter is going into childrens for the 1st of 3 surgeries. No swimming. No activity till completely healed - something about fertility possibilities for 6 to 8 weeks. There goes the summer. We are hoping it works. After she completely heals they will do stage 2 in October. they are still arguing about the 3rd surgery timing and where. The whole thing is bizarre but we are crossing our fingers. maybe I will keep the pool open for the 1st 2 weeks of September so Dani can swim. Hmmm I think that's a good idea. :-)

Wow Darlah, reading about your activities for the day makes me weary.
That is such a funny picture of Sage sassing her Mommy Saffron. Strong personality for sure.

Thank goodness you have Dennis to call on for some help with the tough stuff in the yard.

Nathan busy inside charming all the pups.

Darlah it sounds like Dani is going to have a stressful summer. But if it works it will be amazing for her. I am sure it isn't easy for all of you. I am sending strong and positives vibes to her and all of you. Thank goodness she has Adele? (I think that is her dawg).

I LOVE Sage.

I hope all goes well with your granddaughter, Darlah. It sounds like quite a summer ahead. Thanks for the pictures, too. With all that you have on your plate, it is surprising you manage to take and upload the pictures. I so appreciate seeing my girl, Moxie. I miss her like crazy. Thanks for taking such great care of her and all of the rest of the crew. You truly are amazing.

Sorry to hear that Dani has to go through more surgeries. That's tough.

Re the brat, she sure is cute when she's sleeping pic 8381

That pic of Sage and her mother is too funny ! Sorry to hear about Dani. I thought all those surgeries were behind her and all was well.

Poor Dani. I do feel for her and wish her the very best and much success with the surgeries.
