Friday

I thought I was pretty busy today, but this evening I don't have a lot of photographic evidence of it. It was a work day, and I finished planting the shade garden, did some mowing, and messed around a bit with the ponds, but the only times the camera came out were on my evening walk with Della, and the even later evening pasture run. 

This was a bunny spotting alert, but she doesn't try to drag me around after it, thankfully.

Ford and Paisley stuck by me more than anyone else. Della and Mercy made occasional appearances Bailey would fly past occasionally and I never got a picture of her or Elvis. Norman only showed up after the mower was off and everyone had come into the dog yard for a drink. 

The clematis is doing very well. 

The other one is growing more, but this one has more blooms.

Progress pics and others

Here are a few pictures to show how the gardens are progressing, and there's a few dog pics thrown in too, big surprise.

Candace has been having more difficulty getting up and getting around,

but today was a good day and she went outside often.

I took Bailey and Elvis on an evening walk.

After the walk, there was still enough daylight left for a pasture run.

Everyone went out but I didn't get pictures of them all.

Being deaf has some advantages, Ford isn't scared by the mower sound.

Norman won't come around when I'm riding on it as I was tonight.

Ford follows right behind me.

Mercy spent the day in Daneland with Norman, Ford, and Bailey,

but I'm sure she was missing Odie.

The new solar lights in Daneland work very well.

The solar candles in the garden are very pretty after dark.

Odie, Mercy, Ford, and Bailey

Odie went to his new home today after some play time in the yard with Mercy this morning. I wish him well and hope it all works out. The adopters were certainly excited and happy to have him. 

In the evening I went for a walk with Ford and Bailey, followed by some indoor play time. 

It is time for both Mercy and Ford to get adopted. They are both great dogs. 

Odie

Mercy

He climbed into the backseat of the truck quite readily.

He seemed content and ready to go.

Ford's beautiful fur looks like I brush and clean him regularly.

I do not. It seems to be one of those coats that just sheds dirt. 

Ford was better on the leash than Bailey today.

Ford's happy smile
