You know a few weeks ago I wrote about the vast wasteland in my backyard where it looked so barren and ugly?\u00a0 Well, a few weeks have worked a miracle and the perennials are busting out all over and it isn’t even June.<\/p>\n

Wait a minute.\u00a0 Do I see an animal in my flower bed?\u00a0\u00a0 Who could it be?<\/p>\n

It’s Belle, Mom. I would never get in your flower bed.\u00a0 Bonnie has a short term memory because she has already forgotten all the flowers she and Belle dug up a few days ago including a brand new clematis that I had surrounded with fencing that they tore out by the roots.\u00a0 They were in the literal dog house that day.\u00a0 They like to dig for moles and they are good molers, but they can destroy a flower bed pretty quickly.\u00a0 Bonnie shows no remorse.<\/p>\n

Oh well, that is what you get when you keep dogs that like to dig and allow them the run of the yard.\u00a0 If I could just teach them to dig up the garden before I planted it because they do till the soil rather well.<\/p>\n

David and I went to the pool place the other day to buy one bottle of algaecide and we came out with a hot tub.\u00a0 Really.\u00a0 Shopping together is dangerous to our wealth.\u00a0 We have looked at hot tubs through the years and talked about how nice one would be for our aches and pains, but we always put it out of our minds.\u00a0 We may have been out of our minds that day, but we now have a hot tub sitting on our patio and I must say David is using it a lot and says it is really helping his arthritis.<\/p>\n

The grandkids came to try the hot tub.<\/p>\n

They really enjoyed it. And then I saw an angel in our hot tub.<\/p>\n

A sweet face appeared in the bubbles.<\/p>\n

Turned out it was this handsome lad.\u00a0 Here’s to flowers, angels and hot tubs.\u00a0 Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
