Dogs Day Out 2022

Visitors!

Happy Boxing Day, the day of the Annual Dogs Day Out Picnic in the Country. We (especially the resident Border Collies Winnie and Pebbles) are so excited. And guess what? I have been baking! Not for the visiting brown dogs, but for the humans. I made all the recipes up, hee hee. Could be interesting.

Ouch!

Ouch! My right hand is a bit sore and swollen from yesterday's industrial strength weeding session. Not helped by playing Bach for an hour and a half immediately afterwards. Hopeless, me. No weeding allowed today. Both my hand gets a rather tough work-out in the garden, and I tend not to wear gloves when I should. Hopeless, again.

So the plan is to clean up the house patio and bring out the Pelargoniums in their pots. Maybe dead-head the patio roses (with my left hand, should be interesting). Beautiful Compassion is just finishing its first flowering.

 Such a well-mowed lawn, yes?

Must also explain to the cats that today is not a good day for cats. Maybe take some photographs - the dahlias have started flowering properly. Most of all, must relax and enjoy this awesome day.

Post-script : How easy is it to get good photographs of four dogs who are racing around willy-nilly, this way and that, following their noses, having the most wonderful time? It's impossible.
