We found the little birds! They are ensconced in the orange tree over the fence. They are teasing Alice wildly and she is going crazy trying to reach them. Then she meows in frustration. I, on the other hand, made a nest in their last hideout under the pampas grass leaves just to make sure they know I have reclaimed it.
The good news from here is that the keeper finished the grant proposal and got it to Fed Ex in time. It is amazing to think that at 5 Pm it is in Seattle and at 10 am it is sitting on someone's desk in NYC.
She celebrated by going to the library and checking out 8 books! She says she likes the feel of the library. It was packed today and everyone was reading magazines, using the computers, mostly adults inside on a sunny day. She actually can find the books she wants to read too! And it's free!
We spent the afternoon outside and the keeper was marvelling over her zinnias popping up and the strawberries are getting red, and the clematis climbing the poles really well. The holly hocks are even starting to bloom.Then she found her favorite "lambs' ear" making good progress under the fig tree. She did a lot of watering today. But with July here, she plans to let the garden do its own growing, she feels she has fussed enough.
We have all decided that
we are tired of the Michael Jackson hooplah.
let him rest in peace, and everyone else should get lives.
We also just found out that Friday and Saturday are holidays so the keeper will be around a lot. We will have a quiet 4th, though. We want to say we had a very good June, despite our trip to the vet. The weather has been lovely.
