Getting settled into our new home. It’s been wicked hot lately, so we haven’t been able to get much done, but I’ve unpacked most of the boxes and one evening even weeded the massive garden (aaaaahhhh!).
The Blue Hippo has made his appearance!
Thanks, Jack, for jumping in my picture and urinating...
I admit, it doesn’t look much better than pre-weeding. But it was really nice to get in there and yank the things I KNEW weren’t valuable… some stuff I couldn’t tell, so we’re waiting to see if it blooms…
I was very excited to find a 2-inch slug while in there (lovely, right?) and a toad that hopped at me when I yanked up its hiding spot. It startled me- I jumped back screaming bloody murder! No greyhounds came to my rescue (thanks guys) or even to see what I yelled about. LOL.
The "Security" patrol
But he DOES look fierce, right? ;o)
And yes, I have a new “blog home” too, finally! I’ve been wanting to incorporate my website and blog together on the same site FOREVER. Finally did it. We still don’t have internet at my house (Verizon troubles, sigh) but a technician is coming to sort things out tomorrow. Right now I’m only able to publish remotely – it’s tough being disconnected! lol. But I hope you like the new ‘virtual’ digs. Please bookmark us here, and check back often! Lots of fun posts coming up- pics of the new art studio, camping with the pups up in the Adirondack Mountains, and… yes… a photo of the supersized 2″ slug. I promise. ;o)
