Today I had to rush my Lola to the vets, she was frantically licking at her paw, and it was bleeding. The vet clipped her fur away and found a swollen very sore swelling in between her "toes". After much pulling and cleaning out, she is now bandaged and home on antibiotics. She was very brave, but cried bitterly. Not sure if its a sting, or from where she may have had a grass seed in it. But her relief at being home is evident in her smiling picture..

I'm so thrilled with the first flowers on a hibiscus I planted just a month ago. Beautiful blue in a huge blue pot.

A Very Happy Birthday to our Son Joe ..23 today..in his new Chelsea shirt..

I have a new bird feeder in my newly re-done garden. So, camera in hand, plus cup of tea, in my dressing gown, I sat and waited..
