This is my Mom and Dad out working in Mom's garden this morning. Mom has quite the green thumb and has become a very enthusiastic gardener over the years. In these pictures the two of them are moving an entire bed of hastas that were growing under a big tree until a recent storm knocked the tree over. Now the shade-loving plants are without the shade that they love and are beginning to look kind of sad.

This is me and my dog, Spirit, at the end of a walk. She likes to wade into the lake, have a drink and cool off! She is a greyhound and due to her low body fat she cannot swim. Today she walked out all the way up to her neck and just stood there. Very cute indeed.
