<\/a><\/p>\nLucy and Sugar have almost doubled their size in the two weeks we have had them.\u00a0 They have made themselves at home and consider the yard theirs.\u00a0 They are growing out of being lap dogs.<\/p>\n
They were introduced to our two youngest grandsons.\u00a0 They are definitely people puppies.<\/p>\n Molly has become a very good “Nana” to the puppies and they love her.<\/p>\n They play hard and sleep hard.<\/p>\n We have this sign outside my shop.\u00a0 Beware the Dog!<\/p>\n Yes be very aware of these two. They can trip you up and nip your legs and tear your clothes.\u00a0 They look innocent, but they are bandits.\u00a0 I’ve got the bloody fingers and holes in my clothes\u00a0to prove it.\u00a0 Their little teeth are like sharp knives.\u00a0\u00a0 Working on that biting bit.\u00a0 One day Molly got in front of me, the black puppy, Sugar, went between my legs and the chocolate one, Lucy, pushed me from behind. A group effort to knock me down and down I went!\u00a0 Good thing I am good at catching myself or I might have gone into the pool where I was trying to get a ball Molly dropped in it.\u00a0 I was a little sore, but today I’m feeling fine, so no harm done, but I have got to watch these rascals.\u00a0 They look so innocent, but don’t trust that look.<\/p>\n The flowers in the garden are giving their last hurrah.<\/p>\n The only one of its kind in the garden and it’s just now blooming.<\/p>\n This zinnias have been so pretty.<\/p>\n The marigolds grew so tall and were so happy looking.<\/p>\n I never can think of this bush’s name, but it has little blue flowers on it in the Spring and now it’s turning golden.\u00a0 The puppies like it, unfortunately, and are flattening a lot of it. I hope they grow out of this destructive behavior.<\/p>\n My burning bushes never turn very red.\u00a0 I don’t know why.<\/p>\n These are some of\u00a0the final flowers left in the pots. We are expecting frost in the next few days so these may not be around much longer.<\/p>\n The view up to our porch. Our neighbor’s maple tree is glorious.\u00a0 The Hydrangeas are self drying on the shrub and look so lovely.<\/p>\n I plant pumpkins almost every year and some years are good and some years are a bust. This is the only pumpkin that grew and it grew up on the fence and we almost didn’t find it in time.<\/p>\n There are no skies as blue as skies in the Autumn.\u00a0\u00a0 I caught a flying bird in this picture I didn’t notice until now.<\/p>\n David and I have been taking road trips\u00a0on the backroads of Indiana.\u00a0 So many interesting things to see on the back roads that you don’t get on the main highways.<\/p>\n The trees are at their most beautiful now.<\/p>\n Driving by Indiana corn fields. As a farmer’s daughter, I am always happy to see the farmers having good crops.<\/p>\n This farmer is finishing up harvesting his soybeans.<\/p>\n This is what a burning bush should look like.<\/p>\n Little churches tucked away in the woods.<\/p>\n Into a\u00a0crossroads\u00a0called Story where this building houses an\u00a0inn\u00a0and a restaurant.\u00a0 People come from all over to eat here.\u00a0 We’ve never eaten here yet, but it’s on our list of things to do.\u00a0 To look at it, it doesn’t look very fancy, but I hear the meals they serve are very elegant.<\/p>\n Another view of it. See what I mean by it not looking like much?\u00a0 The parking lot was full and people were going in to eat.<\/p>\n We drove many miles on back roads and came across a little antique store that had just been opened. I will save that for another post.\u00a0 It’s been a good week.\u00a0 I got a good doctor’s report today and I’m gaining my stamina a little bit more.\u00a0 My blood pressure is finally under control and everything checked out well so I’m good for another six months.\u00a0\u00a0 Nothing is better than having your good health and I’m so thankful I still have mine.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
