Progress and party

Things are just a-hummin' along here, we've been taking advantage of the nice weather to get things done outside, like spraying the dandelions, getting my flower baskets planted, and more of the garden done(I still have a couple of rows to plant) and of course, taking time to smell  photograph the blossoms. After all, it is Blossom Festival weekend here!



The pen project is done now, Ted and I spent a whole day on teardown,

 fixing the slope of the pen for drainage,

 and setup.


Beamer now has his shelter under the overhang of the shop, separated by an alley from the girls. We still have to tear down his old shelter, but the important part is done.
Our out of town company for Ted's birthday party arrived yesterday, and Rio was happy to get lots of attention, especially when the ladies found just the right spot to scratch for him.


You can see the dark spot on his hind leg- that's the black showing through his baby hair; I just can't wait to see what color he sheds out; Kai is chocolate brown this year, and his full sister Jazz that Janice owns is going to be featured on one of her posts soon, so it will be neat to compare all 3 siblings.
Well, we couldn't leave Beamer out, he did get a share of he attention too, and showed off his gentlemanly manners.


Today it's raining- guess you can't have Blossom Festival without a little rain!- but hopefully it will be all done by the afternoon; good thing we have a large deck for our birthday BBQ.
Busy day for me- I'll catch up with you all later!
