Nothing too exciting...

 ...but that just how we like life here at the kennel!!

The weather has been gorgeous here...if a little too hot for an old lady, with a pouf on her head, some days.  But I'm not complaining because Jim and I have been getting things done in the yard that have been long overdue!   We did some pressure washing yesterday.  Jim has a big pressure washer that has too much power for me, so he got me a smaller one that's just right!  We/He got the roof of his shed cleaned off and we got all the cement slabs cleaned...he even got the cement garden blocks clean.  They aren't so much dirty as covered in moss!!  The joys of living in Washington...moss on everything!

This is my beautiful Hydrangea.  For some reason I have completely ignored this plant.  I have never cut it back like you're suppose to, so it's gotten spindly.  This fall the clippers are coming out and hopefully next summer it will be full and beautiful.

*notice that we didn't clean these cement blocks...moss!!*

We've also had a new visitor to the squirrel feeder.  

It's a dark brown/black squirrel.  I've never seen one before and this is what I found out:

"Yes, black squirrels exist in Washington state.  They are not a separate species, but rather Eastern gray squirrels or fox squirrels with a genetic mutation that results in black fur.  This condition is called melanism, and it causes an excess production of melanin leading to the dark coloration."

I thought that was interesting.

I finished Katie's journal and I need to get it in the mail.  It's grungy Katie...but that's how I do things!

This is my favorite page.

Now I need to make a Pearson journal but I have two already in line.  First is my John Lennon journal then it's my Birdie journal.  They have both been waiting patiently for me!

Well, that's it for this week kiddies...more excitement to come! 😏
