It was a beautiful, sunny day and the light was captivating bright and early this morning. A morning like this draws you out to walk around and check on what's growing and what needs some extra care.
I spent most of the day weeding, cutting grass and taking care of our old dog. He needs exercise to keep his legs and hips working so I walk him around the property a few times a day. At almost 15 years of age he does sleep a lot of the day but he also needs to be taken out for many pee breaks. He loves to eat and is now fed three small meals a day. I think at his age it is easier on his digestive system.
When he is awake he wants to be with me or the retired-guy. I think his deafness has caused him to be more anxious about being alone. So, with all his needs he does take time from my day but I don't mind at all.
The Sundrops were in full bloom today. So pretty. The tomato and bean plants are healthy and my basil looks good. I placed another little birdhouse and some seed on an old trunk that was found inside the chicken coop when we were excavating. I don't know for sure but I expect it may have been my grandmothers. How wonderful if it was. And for that reason I'll always treasure it.
Later in the day, I looked over to see a very interested little chipmunk checking on the house and dining on the mixed seeds. Then...there were three. So, my suspicion that there was a family of chippies in our pile of wood logs was right. :)
"Welcome little chipmunks."

It's going to be fun having them around.
