What's Doin' In The Back Yard?
Fri Oct 03 2008


The rain storm approaches, but it is taking its own sweet time about it.

In the meantime I wander around outside checking for clouds. We just have pretend clouds right now. Thin, whispy, fakey clouds that you would have to wring out to get any moisture out of them.

But I, I have people. And those people have satellite pictures. I can see the storm is on its way. It is gathering its forces out in the Pacific today.

While out in the yard, looking for clouds, I took a few pictures...

Here is one of my faithful Feverfew plants, putting out new growth even though it knows nothing about satellite pictures.

And here are the dogs playing. We have gone four days in a row with no dust ups initiated by Pal. We are very happy about that.

But all is not well in the back yard, I'm sorry to say.

Someone needs to give the water fountain some attention.

(Good morning 'Someone'! May I direct your attention to this disgraceful situation?) :

Sigh.

I know, I know. I'll get right on it.

But when it starts to rain, I think I'll hang YOU out on the clothesline.

    So Pal finally settled in. Happy news. They look like they're having fun. Dogs do laugh, as we well know, and Pal is definitely laughing in the first picture.

    Ah, the fountain. Please do take care of it. And I'll see what I can do about mine, too.


    Bless

    I see the sneaky ivy moving in on your fountain!
    You really gotta watch that stuff. Takes over in no time flat.
    Your yard looks very nice.
    My yard is getting a good soaking. It has rained and rained since morning.
    YIPEE!!
    Jealous?

    Very good to hear that it seems Pal is finally settling in and understanding be part of a family. Fin to see Sunny and Pal playing together and having fun. Great shots of your yard. How have I missed your fountain? Very creative with the tea pot and cup and saucer. There were big drop of rain just a bit ago when I took in the trash cans. LOVE the cooler weather and the feel of the air. It really feels like fall is here!!

    The rain started here yesterday and seems quite determined to make up for lost time.

    When you hang () out on the clothesline do hand him a bit of soap. Perhaps it will help wash away some of the orneriness.

    My astilbe are insisting that they should be allowed to bloom. I keep trying to tell them to reserve their energy for spring but they aren't listening.

    Glad to see the kids getting along so well ;). How is Fiona fairing?
