Was the 4th of July only Monday?  These summer days are running together.

We have had fireworks all week…nature’s and otherwise.   Did you notice Indy’s tiny little tail and big paws on his baby pic Wednesday?  What a sweet boy.  We loved Friday’s Foto Fun with the beach pictures too;  anyone can use photo apps.  We didn’t get a picture but Mom got stung by a bumble bee that crawled underneath her t-shirt.  What a commotion that was!  Finally it’s the weekend and weekends here are for baths….  Love ya, ~ Indy and Lucy #smellinglikearose

Our hearts have been heavy this week with the crossing of Mr. Silky over the Rainbow Bridge.  He was definitely a legend in his time.  We are missing him terribly.

While not a quality picture, you can see how much I resemble my dad when he was THE studmaster at Shady Nook. 🙂  Meanwhile, lots of garden stuff going on too.

Finally found the perfect spot for the garden stone Larry Lauber made us.  Isn’t it fantastic?  Lantanas are thriving in this hot weather; it is supposed to hit the 100s Fahrenheit this coming week.

For us, it is a holiday weekend: 4th of July, marking the birth of American Independence.  Although we are no longer part of the British Empire, Mom loves everything about it.  She is a true Anglophile…just take a look at her Pinterest boards.  It is a lovely holiday though if you don’t count the firecrackers.
