We had another long weekend and so enjoyed it even though we had more rain.  For some reason parts of Texas are drowning year after year.  Rick had the garden planted and now it's a pond again.  We so love growing our food but year after year the rain is destroying it.  We know we need to bring in soil and try to raise the area but with so much to do it's low on the list.

We planted two olive trees a month or so ago.  It would be fun to cure a few.  Or maybe crush some

to make our own olive oil.  Mostly it's about satisfying our curiosities.  I was the weirdo who spent my adult life doing what I was suppose to do.  I never did what I wanted.  I didn't dream or explore.  Now on a limited budget I'm having fun and hubby is coming along for the ride.  He's so sweet and fun.   

Mom's lily's were beautiful again this year.  Rick has been spreading them throughout the yard.  I think we have them around 4 trees now. 

I waited to long to take this last pic because they are starting to wilt.

Mom's gardenia bush didn't bloom this year.  It's still in sad shape.  The 3 other bushes we have planted have bloomed.

Mom's bush was at the corner of the house by me and my sis's bedroom.  We didn't have a/c so the windows were open when the bush bloomed.  It smelled so good thru the whole house. 

I know I promised to slow down on puppy pics but I couldn't help myself.  Miss Molly is just adorable. 

 



Daisy, the black lab, is really interested.  Molly has the cutest face.  As you are probably guessing, she's part pit bull.  That's one of the reasons we decided to keep her.  Unfortunately with the stigma attached to that breed she would probably be put down.  Sunshine too.  We had a pit many years ago.  Beau was a beautiful sweet animal who adored our daughter.  Every breed of dog has different traits and we must all be diligent pet owners.  Jack, our cairn terrier, bit Rick when he was giving him Benadryl for a bee bit.  Rick ended up with a serious infection.  Does that make him dangerous?  No but it could have been life threatening.

I guess I should close.  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great week.
