Working with Boys

It can be difficult to do some work at home with the boys around.

They have a lot to supervise.

Throw a box into the picture and things get more exciting.

Spike is licking Xander's ear.

Eventually Xander moved on for a bit and Spike came over to check on me:

Random Musings

Well, lately it's been hectic working on computer updates and other assorted, random life events. So here's a hodgepodge of stuff to show you what's going on.

Xander gets comfy supervising the hook-up of the newly refurbished audio-video receiver (he's a very good supervisor!):

 We recently ordered personalized memorial stones to place at the graves of our dearly departed pets...they're actually made out of resin. We were very pleased with the company's service. Here are my two boys in the back yard. The lighting was off but I'll show you pix from the front memorial garden soon. My sweet BIL & SIL found the hound glass stone...

 Our new welcome mat:

 Our new bench:

 Gwyn. Baking her brains out in the hot sand...she loves it!

What the Cats are Up to

Sorry dogs. It's time to peek in at a typical day for the cats.

 It's a rough life...

Flowers Before the Storm

Well we've already gotten one hurricane under our belts for the season. Hopefully it'll be the *only* one we have right here this year! Arthur came ashore as a Category 2 pretty much right on top of us. We were very fortunate to not have any structural damage...just a lot of yard clean-up and power out. Our power's back on...my parents' is not yet as they're at the end of the line! Hopefully by this evening it will be on. Still, all in all, we're quite blessed.

The horses fared just fine. They had two trees come down in the back pasture, but no injuries.

Here are some of my sweet yellow flowers taken pre-Arthur:

Love of My Life

For those who don't know, when I first started this blog I started using the acronym "LoML" to refer to my dear, sweet husband....it's short for "love of my life." And he is. We recently celebrated our 19th anniversary.

He went to my favorite local gift shop and got me these lovely garden stakes...special-ordering the greyhound :D

Made in USA. Nice.

I'm so grateful to have been blessed to find and marry my best friend. Love you LoML!
