Off for the weekend

May 19 - We've had a beautiful, sunny week here in Oregon and I love it. I finished planting the garden, but still have lots of flowers to plant (I've been a bit of a slow poke getting it done). Son's dogs now expect a visit to my house to be a daily occurance. They're getting used to the new surroundings and have calmed down a lot. They probably view it as an outing to their own private park/playground. Ranger was already named when son adopted him from a shelter, but I think they should rename him digger. Take a look at the pictures of him in the wading pool. He loves playing in the water and hops in and out of it, but what's so funny to watch is how he plays in it. He DIGS and the water goes flying out behind him. Within a fairly short time he has the pool nearly empty!



Big Bear and I are taking off this afternoon for a weekend in the Redmond/Sisters area. Some long time friends moved there last year and built a house with room for guests. It's about a 3 hour drive and I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time. It will be good to see them again and have a fun weekend with no yardwork calling. BUT, what am I going to do about the withdrawal symptoms when I have no computer and can't blog? Luckily I tend to live in the present and am responsive to my environment so I think I'll survive.
