hats, cans and hoses

We had a challenging day 

    Jackie mentioned that Beth did not smell very good.

    I sniffed, and agreed.

    So we gave her a bath....rather a shower.

    It's not easy!  She doesn't trust us in the bathroom.  She does not like the water.  She constantly tries to escape.

    But she got washed.

    Beth has a flea and tick collar, so I held on to that to keep her in the shower.  I am glad we have a long shower hose, that helps.

    After the shower we have to dry her.  She does not like the hair dryer.  At the groomers she has a tendency to take a dump when the dryer goes on, but she does not here.

    I am having a glass of rosé.  It comes from a can!  Julia left 2 cans of it and I am having one.  You notice I did not use the word enjoy.  It's not terrible.

    We have watched the Cubs a lot.  We always used to see a man in a pink hat sitting right behind hone plate.  I know he is getting up there in age and this year we have only seen him once. 

    Strangely, we worry and wonder about him.

    I understand he has had some health problems, and maybe that is keeping him away from the game.  I wish him well and will continue to look for the pink hat guy.

    I started out watering my. trees at 6 p.m. tonight.  I moved the hose to another tree at 7 and should have moved it to the third new tree at 8.  I could not see to do that.

    I have5 more trees to water, so I have to start earlier or work with a flashlight.

    I do have one that works now.  I put in new batteries so there is one light on which I can depend.

    I am up to over 30 miles on my bike this summer.  That is sad.  But it is twice what I had last year!

    Small steps.

Peace and Love
