Today was a beautiful day, another day of clear beautiful blue sky. We've had a couple and prior to that we had 7 days of rain showers, most not lasting long but heavy just the same. Most days we had from 2 to 4 showers in a day. Not sure how much rain we got but it was welcome.
I have a neat toy Poodle and he doesn't like to get wet. Tolerates his bath, but when he looks out sees its raining, turns and comes back in. He'll go out and if grass is wet, turns and comes back in. I usually toss him out the door, and close it until he goes out and tends to his business. He'll try to come back to the door and ask to come in a couple of times, then realizes I'm not opening until he has finished. He is cute to watch as he tippy toes through the wet grass. Since we seldom have snow here, he won't have to deal with it. But I'm sure he wouldn't like it either.
Got the embellishment laces for the Ring Bearer's pillow I'm making for Grandson and his bride. I have the material and the pillow, now need to get busy and get it made - Wedding is in October. It is going to be a CQ block with Brazilian Dimensional Embroidery accents.
There is a family of kittens living under my granddaughter's house and her oldest son spyed them today when he was looking out the living room window. They are cute I've seen one kitten, he says there are more. Asked him if Momma cat was with them he said no. I'd seen a kitten the first time yesterday, so don't know if they just moved in, or have been there for awhile.
He planted seveal orange seeds in a planter between some pinto beans and now has about 7 little orange trees. His beans have produced and he carefully harvested the bounty. I cooked them for him and he picked the beans from the shells and ate them. They were snaps, and he likes green beans, but didn't want the shell part of these. But, he ate every bean there was. So I showed him to let them get bigger and cooked just the beans. He was thrilled he grew and ate the beans he grew. He is just 4.5 years old.

We used to have a cat that didn't like snow. We used to have to clear a path from the back door to the garden for her!. Don't children just love growing things
I've always lived in the country until the past 15 years or so and weather here isn't so bad and our animals were always outside with shelters we built for them.
This is first puppy I have had in long long time that is totally an inside dog. He is so attached to me that he is at this moment sitting under my chair, he sleeps on the end of my bed at night, and is never more than 4 feet from me.
We always had cats but have never had an inside cat. I know they are also so much fun and love.
Yes children get so much pleasure out of the smallest things. I was picking beans (not from the vine, going through dried ones to remove bad ones and rocks - don't know what others call this process), my great grandson was helping. I gave him several of the good beans and told him we'd plant them. He was so thrilled to watch them grow. He watered and took care of them then as they made beans he was even more excited. I showed him the size they needed to be to be harvested. Every day or so, he'd pick those that were ready and bring and show me with gleam in his eyes. We kept them in the refrigerator then when I had enough for him, I cooked them.
The beans are now gone but the little orange trees from the seeds of an orange he ate ate still growing and doing great. He checks them daily and comes to tell me how they are doing.
Children are such joy and fill our lives to the fullest, can't imagine my life without them.
