A hot Summer day

Hello everyone! It's a hot one today! I'm getting the blog done early before the humidity settles in for the day. Russell just finished bathing our pooches, job well done! How did five weeks since their last bath go by so quickly!

This past week was good. It was Russell's turn to have his physical. All went well on that front. Next up will be Cooper & Spicy's wellness exam on August 31. 

We had some wonderful walks at the park last week. We met a nice elderly man that we hadn't seen for a while. His name is Earl, he's a widower. He always sits on the same bench with his newspaper and coffee. It was good to reconnect with him. The timing of our walks seems to coincide with his....or maybe he times his walk with ours. He seems to really enjoy chatting with us and patting our doggies. It doesn't take much to bring joy to someone and we feel that this is exactly what we're doing. During yesterday's walk, we met three other Havanese dogs that we had never seen before, all while we were chatting with Earl. He thought ours were the best looking 😂

Gas prices are down. Our tank was half full so we topped it up. Our daylilies are in full bloom and our daisies are spectacular this year. Our herbs are also doing well and I use them almost daily although our cilantro is basically done. Next year I will plant more. 

Those are my little news for today. I leave you with a few photos that Russell took of our flowers and a few of the dynamic duo. Have a great week everyone!

Spicy knows when it's time
for dinner and she gets excited!
