Did I tell you that I got a pool?

I bet you were thinking a big pool huh? Well, not so much. My Grandpa bought me an $8 pool from the dollar store and it's fantastic!



I jump in and chase my splashes and the rubber duckies around in circles endlessly!



I go and go until I get myself dizzy!



And, then I get out and play with my dad or lounge around!



The other day my mom took my picture while I was napping on the porch! I like to lay on top of my parents' shoes outside! If I'm not on top of them, I'm at least propping my head up with the boot or touching one with my paw!



I guess I like to know they are near me!

And, mom was so proud of me because I finally got on my big boy bed!



I was watching my dad outside!



Look at me!



Oh, and my mom wanted you to see how I nap! Yes...I'm in my parents' bed. Where I love to be! Only a couple of minutes in the morning is what I get, but I maximize my time! I'm a king! I love my dad's pillow!



Yes, I look like a chicken!

At the market last week...

The flowers were gorgeous!



Every week they get more and more beautiful!



This week I know we will have even more pretties for our customers! I can't wait to see what the garden brings!



Charlie was the perfect dog last week at the market! He was so good! I didn't put him in his crate. He sat like a good little boy in his bed the whole time!



Until Lexi came by to visit!



I let him socialize for a little while! This little girl came up and wanted to hold him!





And, then a nearby vendor's son, Dallas, came over to give him more love! Isn't he adorable?



Dynamo stopped by a couple of times throughout his ride!





My handsome hubby!



The customers were great stopping by and supporting us. We sold out thanks to the support of the shoppers.





And, the soap is doing well too! We've met lots of new friends now that we sell soap!



New scents are Mango Mango and Sun & Sand! Yum!



And, the doggie bagels continue to be quite a hit!



Stop by if you're around!!



Even if you're not looking for soap or flowers, there's lots of good tomatoes and fellowship!



Come early to get the best pick!









Or, stop by to see Charlie! Dallas says he listens to him!



See you Saturday bright and early at 7 a.m.!!!

How does our garden grow?

I thought it might be nice to share our little garden. Above are our sungold cherry tomatoes. They are super sweet and delicious! We've had a few to turn yellow and we munched them right away! Soon, they will be ready!

Here's the pic of the prized first one!



Dynamo waters religiously and fertilizes the plants! We have them in little square foot garden boxes!



We have three varieties of tomatoes, eggplant, two varieties of peppers, lettuce, and chives. We have one HUGE cherry tomato plant in a container by the back steps! There's one mater that's almost ready! The plant is taller than me and full of maters!



And, here's a pic of the pepper plant...



And, now for the flowers...

We have six raised beds that started out like this...



And, now they look like this...



The zinnias are in full bloom!



Look at all the happiness!



And, here are the three rows of sunflowers we planted last week!



They are just now peeking through the dirt! The ones we planted next to the garage are a few inches tall now! It isn't easy to see them in this pic, but they are there!



The yard is so beautiful this time of year! Everything is happy an blooming! Dynamo has worked hard watering every morning before work and every night after!



It takes lots of work to keep everything happy and healthy! We make a good team! Now, if Charlie could only stop running through the sunflower rows and tearing them up we would be fine! He loves fresh dirt!

Mountain Bike Monday - A lovely night for a ride!

Last Thursday, Dynamo, MBM, and I headed out on the Lakeview Trails at Poco for a ride. We hadn't been able to coordinate schedules to ride, so this was the first in a while! We had missed our riding trio!

Boy! It was HOT!!!!! I mean HOT!!!!!!!! We were drenched with sweat! Even my kneecaps were burning up! We did have a great ride even though I forgot my camera!

On Saturday, Dynamo and I hit the green and blue trails at Poco!



The camera was really messing up! So, I apologize for the crummy photos!

Dynamo posed for a pic on top of this big grey rock! It's rideable (not for me), but pretty awesome!



We had a great ride on a lovely evening. The temperature was great and we flew through the trails breaking my record for those two trails!



Dynamo said I was cruising through, especially the downhills! I REALLY do love downhill! I love to fly!



We had a great ride together! I felt fast and comfortable on the bike. Each ride I feel better than before. I am really starting to notice my skills improving as well as my confidence. Time on the bike is truly the only way to get better!

Hopefully the camera will be in better condition for next week's report!
