July 12

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.
