The view from the gardens on Memorial Day

Puppies are 4.5 weeks old now, You can watch them at  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vswe2GZQGSo&feature=channel&list=UL

Here is a photo of me when I was about that age...

 Mama says she can hear the "Awww's"  : )

 Summer is here, mama is off work recuperating from her radiation therapy.  Her energy has been low but seems to improve dramatically on a sunny day!   She is out in the garden on those days and tossing the ball that I place directly under her nose.  The vegetable garden is all planted and ready to grow.  The flower beds are coming along nicely.

My water fountain is flowing nicely.

The shooting stars are about to take off!

Little ferns have spread happily through the garden, much to our delight.

The Rodi is in bloom  : )

Sweet violets...

So there you have it.  Dad cleaned the carpets yesterday and mama is thinking the deck needs a new coat of stain.  I was pretty rough on it last year and during the winter.  The grass is ready for its first mow of the year.  Don't you just love summer?!?
