Fun with puppy

by

The other day I found the bandanna that had been given to our puppy when we had her groomed in January.

Just for fun I put it around her neck and I was surprised that she didn’t try to get it off. She walked around with it on, looking totally adorable, for at least an hour before it started to loosen from around her neck.

When I took it off I decided to put it on her head around her ears. You know, like a scarf around her head. Again she surprised me by not trying to get it off. She looked like a little old lady … very similar to a couple of my elderly Greek/ Macedonian neighbors! We’d just treated Midnights eyes with an antibiotic eye ointment and it kind of makes her eyes look greasy or teary and of course that only enhance the funny look of the bandanna scarf around her head.

I guess we’re lucky that our pup puts up with us and the silly things we do to her.

The photos are still on my camera. I’ll work on them later today and post one or two. I’m sure you’ll find them funny.





New neighbors soon!

by

Well our next door neighbors finally sold their house! I have no idea what the final offer was, but I suspect it was several thousand lower than what they’d originally asked. Looks like we’ll have new neighbors moving in in early April.

Chris thinks he saw our new neighbors to be when they were looking at the house. It’s a young couple. Hopefully a friendly and fairly quite people. By quiet I don’t mean I’m wishing they are excessively quiet … just no noisy Karaoke parties like our current neighbors please!

Sometime this year we’ll have new neighbors on the other side of the house too. My elderly neighbor Sofie – the one I call my stalker – had a mild stroke two weeks ago and she’s in the hospital. Her family had finally talked her into moving in with them so I guess the house will go up for sale sometime soon.

Her oldest son has been busy working in the basement over the last week or so. I’m not sure what he’s doing down there but it sure is noisy! Maybe he’s digging the basement foundation out to make the floor to ceiling height better. As I’ve probably mentioned a few times our basement was made for very short people. I’ve got to walk around ours hunched over and I’m sure all our neighbors basements are like that too unless they’ve done some work to increase the height.

So I guess we’ll be seeing moving vans around here soon. I think the new couple moving in is from New York so maybe we’ll see some New York movers vans.

It’s kind of exciting getting new neighbors. I just hope they’re good people.

Pretty yellow Stella D’ora Daylily

I grow a few clumps of Stella D’ora daylilies throughout my garden and they are wonderfully simple flowers to care for because they do well in both moderate to full sun, don’t need a whole lot of care and they manage to rebloom several times throughout the growing season.

I tend to grow my Stella D’ora’s near plants such as Hostas and heucheras. They also look quite nice beside lavender or purple Salvia.

I think in all I grow about five different types of daylilies, but even though Stella is quite common, I still think it’s one of the easiest and nicest day lilies that I grow.

Do you grow day lilies in your garden?

Minty Feet – now that’s refreshing!

by

Wow. What a great idea!

Everyone gets stinky feet every now and then don’t they? If you’re on your feet most of the day, wear nylons or socks with synthetic materials in them you’re bound to work up a little sweat between your toes and as we all know this can be the cause of some mighty stinky feet.

Well, the Japanese have come up with a great idea. It’s a pad that you put in your shoe. As you walk on the sponge through the day mint fumes are pumped into the shoe.

You’re feet will be, literally, minty fresh.

I need to get something like this for my husband!
