So Dapper

The last few days have slipped away. The weather has been nice and today is expected to be even better. I made a grooming appointment for Murphy.. Scruffy no more.

What do you think?  He has a modified Schnauzer  cut for now. Until he is no longer interested in excavating the garden, keeping minimal fluff on him  will be easier to keep clean.  Being his first grooming visit, we did not know how he would behave...

His "paw-gress" report was good! He was very happy for us to pick him up and happy to return home. He is just a lovely velvet to touch sleek body now.

Just look at this bunch of 10, yes, 10 tomatoes! There are more on the other branch! We are patiently waiting to enjoy them. The rest of the kitchen garden is doing well. The parsley and chives are being used almost daily. The mint and oregano is also growing nicely. This area will be fenced in to keep you know who out.
Alan and Lisa are both off work today and tomorrow when they will be going to the Barrett Jackson Car auction, I will be going to the dentist! We now have need a calendar to keep track of who is where. We are doing well as a family... a fun home especially with Murphy to keep us busy. Soon I hope to work on my quilted runner. Probably tomorrow I will be able to sit at the sewing machine.
So nice to have a chat with you today... any day. Thank you for the kind words and for the friendship.

Fabric and a sunset

The winter days have been so nice....

This recent sunrise... breath taking! The sky looked on fire. The temps have been in the 50s--60s during the day requiring a sweatshirt or sweater when I walk with Murphy. He loves being out for walks and the weather does not seem to bother him.
I asked Alan to fix one area where a plant was removed by adding a couple of bricks...

Alan did a fine job and even fixed more of the area. Of course his assistant was right there to investigate.

Murphy could not resist laying in the dirt! He loves digging and we are planning to fence around the flower beds and kitchen garden to stop the digging and also him chewing on twigs and stuff. It will be very interesting! I mentioned to Alan that we need an electronic door opener/closer for Murphy. He loves going in and out and I have become his doorman.
Lisa and I finally got to the Quilt shop.

 Could not resist another tiny scissor....

 This is  a kit to make a Burrito roll pillowcase that Lisa will be making....

This lovely print will be the backing and binding for my runner.

New prints for a bathroom valance.
I guess my post will need to be at night or mid morning/day. Murphy has kept me pretty busy. This is one week and all personal business he has done outside...no house accidents! Did I mention the vet mentioned that Murphy has a belly more than he, the vet, would like?! He gained 5 pounds in the month he has been with us.... cutting down on his food already. Anyway, I do not think there is an issue...love his belly!❤❤
Okay, time for my lunch. Alan and Lisa are both working so it is just the boy and me....glad you stopped by. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I am feeling so much better! Thank you for your friendship.
