Hello my friends. The temperature cooled a day or two . It was only in the mid 100s. There was rain but not here in The Valley, it was East of us. Murphy goes out to deposit then usually right back in and tries to remain in the shade out in the garden. The bricks are very hot.
I ordered some salve for his feet...Musher... which was developed for the Alaskan dogs to soothe their feet. So far we have only been able to put it on Murphy's front paws...he detests having his back feet touched! He is still a work in progress.Alan has made another change to the garden and front area....
A new fountain for the garden. The sound is wonderful. Each of the 3 bottom bowls have a light and nighttime is a soft glow. The top bowl needs a rock for the hummers to sit on to bathe. the fountain from here has been moved
To the front of our porch area. The hummers have already returned to drink from the top bubble. Now when sitting on the porch we have the sounds of gurgling water. Very relaxing.
Soon Daisy the heating pad Llama and her pillowcase will be flying to her new home. I have been slow to get this all together. This time the box will be registered and signed for.
I enjoy baking and have for years baked at least once a week. This is a lemon cake...Alan likes lemon cake...me, not so much. I use box mixes for cakes and from scratch other baked goods. It is quick and easy. Later today I will be making Prosciutto Bread and Italian stuffed artichokes for our dinner tonight.
Swishing is ready for fluffing in the laundry area. Happy to have you visit with me. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends....Debbie Burke and Lynda Ruth Bowers.

I am a real sucker for lemon cake (or maybe that should be pucker?)! I love almost anything lemon. Your llama heating pad and that pillowcase are so adorable. I am also a sucker for daisies. Happy stitching! -Andrea

Love the continuing changes to your garden area. It is such a serene, peaceful spot anyway, but you somehow find ways to keep improving on it! Lovely!
Love the new fountain, it's perfectly Southwest! Stay cool, Gracie:)
Happy 4th of July to you guys too. I love your fountains and that lemon cake looks yummy. I too love lemon. I hope the Llama and pillowcase get to her rightful owner this time. Some people just don't have any respect for others. I hope you can get some salve on Murphy's back feet too. maybe when he is sound a sleep you can get some on him. big hugs my friends.
Alan enjoy your lemon cake. Happy 4th again
Oh, that fountain is so pretty! And I bet much easier to service than the old pond area was.
