Madeline
Madeline recognised me instantly from past visits: “She who takes small Australian Shepherds for walks.”
Hollyhock
I saw this eight foot high hollyhock in Encino during my trip.
Happy Hour
Originally, the dog run extended all the way to the horse field. However, sharing a common fence line allowed the horses (primarily Smoke) and the dogs to spend far too much time entertaining themselves by fence fighting. In an effort to save our ear drums, and those of our neighbors, Jack put up the chain link panels creating what we call the “buffer zone.” Occasionally, we let the horses into the buffer zone to eat down the grass, and a good time is had by all.
Columbine
Yesterday, I planted this yellow columbine. The three that I planted last year have not yet completely bloomed, but two of them look close to doing so. I love columbines.
Spinach
I learned something very interesting today. If you put enough balsamic vinegar on it, even spinach becomes edible. I wonder if it would work for kale and collard greens.
Dudley
The first time I found Dudley in the bathtub I had walked into the bathroom without any lights and there was this large black thing in the tub. It was a bad moment. Dudley does large black thing better than any other dog we have ever had.
Time to find his wading pool.
Silly
So this is just plain silly 🙂
Tranquil
