All is good over here

Our dog, Sadie is the most amazing little girl you could imagine! She is healing at a pace that is nothing short of miraculous. Her belly has 40 staples in it, but they look to be completely obsolete at this point...Her wound is barely even visible now that she's healed up. The staples come out on Tuesday next week, so that's the last part of the puzzle. Relief does not even begin to describe the feeling we have knowing that she is going to be completely well after this whole ordeal!

Here she is today:Alert and VERY happy!

Yesterday, as well, our other dog, Koty, got his summer haircut. He looks like a giant 6 month old puppy!


Now, despite all of the dog drama that has been going on here, I've managed to do a TON of gardening jobs. I'll take photos of them soon...And, of course, I've been at my most favorite place, Marblehead Garden Center, three times this week to buy the annuals and perennials I've needed for the jobs I've been doing. We all know what that means...Here's me:

"Ok. Two of those, three of those and OHHH! Look at that! Those angelonia are SO pretty. I'll buy a couple for my planters. Well....Maybe a few more because there are those blank spots in the side yard. And, there is that big pot in the back yard, too, that I could fill..."

"Laaaa leeeeeee laa laaaaa! Boy, I love it here. Ohhhh smell THOSE! I'll just get one of them. Or three."

"LOOOOOOOOKY! A Deutzia! SOOOO pretty. Look at that lime green foliage! And those GORgeous white flowers! I know exACTly where to put that in the back yard!"

I'm an addict. I simply cannot help myself when I'm at the garden center. It's really beginning to be a problem!

So, here's what's happening in the back yard right now...My pretty false indigo bloomed!
SO pretty!

And here's that Deutzia bush that I found! I really needed it. My birthday is Sunday, okay? Jeez.

And here is the sweet basil that finally has a proper home for the summer. It smells SO fantastic!

Today I have a big garden installation to do and then I'll also do up some of my summer planters with the umpteen annuals I HAD to have when I was shopping yesterday. I'll take pictures and post them tomorrow.

Hope you all have a fabulous long weekend. Don't forget to wish me a happy birthday Sunday...Isn't it nice that the government gives everyone a long weekend to celebrate my birthday? Thanks, America!! hee hee!
