A RARE SIGHT, SHOTS FROM THE GARDEN AND SUMMERTIME PAGE

A rare photo of Riley laying down in the grass out back!

For some reason he doesn't like the feel of grass on his belly.. I guess I might not

either with all those weeds mixed in..

I saw a recipe for ... wait for it... wait...

WATERMELON GAZPACHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness.. I've never tasted anything like it.. loved it!!

Let me know if you'd like the recipe.. perfect for a hot summer night..

This is one of my lilies!!! I love the vivid orange color..

year after year I just get more and more and the orange red is

spectacular!

Here's a little bird that

dropped by for lunch..
If you aren't way too tired of another journal/stationary page..
here is my entry for
http://crazyamigochallenge.wordpress.com
The theme is Summer.
I've been making these pages to write letters to wounded and deployed soldiers
through the
http://soldiersangels.org
website.
If anyone is interested you can sign up to write letters.. or you can "adopt" a deployed soldier
and send a care package once a month and write a letter to them every week.
Good stuff.. and a lot of soldiers on the waiting list for that little extra support.

RILEY UPDATE! CLOTHESPINS AND TAGS

This picture was taken during the worst of it.. I have to take some new happy dog

pictures now that he's somewhat back to normal.

After 2 vet visits and 2 specialist oncology visits.. to this day they don't know what's wrong with him

but they put him on steroids.. and he's gotten better.

They warn the underlying problem that remains a mystery could be getting worse.. but.. we've decided that

it's worth it to have the boy back to himself.. he's happy.. hungry again.. he has his crazy zest for life and getting into trouble, so we'll go with it and take things as they come.

Thanks for the good thoughts.. they are greatly appreciated..

Here are some altered clothes pins I made for
