The crisp must have softened and stopped bugging dd, bc she hasn't brought it up in a while.
The cart is pink, but dd holding off on final high gloss clear coat, bc of humidity. We'll open the garage and finish up once the sun comes out. I think that's today! So proud of dd thinking it through and waiting.
The pug had a super hard day yesterday. Vet tech came to clip her toes and drain her anal glands on the porch. I stayed inside and peeked a bit.... lots of scampering around, trying to catch the pug.
::shaking head::
In the end.... pug 1, vet tech 1
Glands emptied
2 toenails remain
I know this... that vet tech student earned every penny.

Eww, Lighter, bless her, I think "emptying anal glands" has got to be pretty near my list of jobs that I never want to have to do! Bless her, it's done at least, and most toe nails clipped has got to be better than no toenails. And DD has almost finished the cart! Yay! Aw, that will look so nice once it's all done and has pride of place in her room :) xx

We made a triple batch of pork and shrimp dumplings... they were wonderful and we shared them with the neighbors we have doggy playdates with. We're going to make turkey and shrimp dumplings next.
I helped the one neighbor unload 2 pick up trucks of mulch, and retrieved his hummingbird feeder from the corner of his roof. It hasn't been filled the last 2 years bc of their health problems. THIS year it's hummingbird central. I want that feeder out so they have enjoy them as much as I am. SO many hummers..... they sit in the hemlock trees and buzz back and forth to the feeder. It's crazy busy.
This same neighbor, the husband, is the one who's coming back from catastrophic health problems. Today he asked me to teach him to throw punches correctly. I was happy to agree. Will see how that goes. I let the girls know they'll be expected to participate..... they know bribes are on the way.
Grrrrr..... I'm hungry. Again.
Is anyone else hungry all the darned time?

Neighbor and I planted seeds from 10 herbs and veggies in a set up he researched. We'll each have 3 to 6 plants from each... depending how it goes. He has special seed starting soil and a big clear plastic container with clear plastic lid, sort of like a greenhouse. Since he has one eye and ligament damage in his hands he can't do things like that easily and I really enjoy doing things like that. We're sharing seeds so it feels good in all directions.
I plan on planting directly into the soil very soon.... will plant pumpkins, watermelons, peppers, squash, basil, cilantro, oregano and beans.... still looking for Thai basil. I'm thinking about further amending soil with rich dark dirt from bottom of leaf pile next door.
I have Poppy seeds sewn already..... as tiny as paprika specks.... teeny weeny.
Today was glorious out... sunny and cool. Now it's rainy and cold... windy, so back indoors.
I'm looking forward to moving the pink cart into dd's room this evening... if she gets some energy back.

I am hungry all the time, Lighter! But I'm not cooking as much nice stuff as you, I'm too lazy :) Being surrounded by hummingbirds sounds lovely :) xx
