darn dial-up too slow...
Well, I've done as much outside work as I'm gonna do. The stoopid Cubs are on so I'll switch to cleaning. What fun.
Animal Planet once had a "doggie competition" from Australia where different breeds of dogs were put through some silly paces by their owners.
One event consisted of taking the dog up a path about 50 yards from the owner. The owner called, and then the dogs were timed on how fast they got back to their owners.
The Yorkies were fast, even with little legs. The Labs, down to the last dog, all ran past their beckoning owners, and jumped into a pond and swam around.
Same here, LSA is moving the sprinkler around a bit, but the 'yard werk' is done for today. A good morning's worth if we may say so, plus gypsy got her frisbee time at the dogpark.
heh, we can see that, having had one that would have felt right at home doing the same thing.
*snicker*
I'd love to see that show! Too funny. I know my brother's Golden woulda done the same, too. He looooooved water.
Speaking of which, we've just been out watering the garden, so Cisco is soaked. Funny how that happens.
And Cartman helped me with the garden for awhile. Or something. Dunno why he'd bother coming over hear when it's so hot!
Ah...have a fan. I got one of those tower kinds...didn't notice it had a few fancy features like a timer. Kinda nifty, though...I can put it in the bedroom and set it to an hour, and then it won't run all night but I'll be able to sleep. And it's super quiet.
The cats aren't sure what to make of it.
Well I wasn't supposed to water today, cause it's an odd day and we're an even house, but I overseeded the front yard, and I'm trying to make sure it gets a little sprinkling twice a day. I only put the first batch of seed down last weekend, and those seedlings are already up almost an inch! Soaking the seed in tea did the trick, I'm convinced. After the first batch of seeds settled in bunches after watering on the first day, I went back over the yard and put seed in the spots that had gotten bare, and since then have only watered with a hand sprayer so no water would be standing at any time. It seems to be working.
Er...over here.
Heat affects my spelling, apparently.
Hopefully the secondary flight plan works better... sigh...
~sip~
Emily and Mr DarcyCat come from all corners of the yard whenever someone goes into the garden.
You need fans over there glad you got a good one! Have you got enough secure screens to be able to open the house up and let the wind through? Or do you need to remind us to help fix those things?
I'm kindof surprised he does too... I wonder if he went over there when the other people were there, too, or if it's just to see you. :~)
Tell me about this procedure, because I'd love to speed up seed germination!
Ramius set up a makeshift FReepstation for the two of us.
Later, the girls refused to put the lotion on their skin - so Ramius had to apply the appropriate punishment. :-)
I sprayed myself with the hose today after mowing, it felt great!
What kind of desk setup are you getting for permanent?
We're looking at two of these...
With this in the middle.
We'll set up the lateral file cabinets beind us with a bookcase or two to create a divider between the living room space and the office.
Or at least, that's the plan anyway. :-D
Aha :~D
I look forward to seeing it all set up :~D
