Busy Summer Days

Thursday was a busy day. I had to get up early to bring Anneliese to the Vets to have some x-rays done, which meant that I had to be up, dressed and out the door by 8:30. This I was able to accomplish, despite the fact that I am really a pajama worker.

I do my best work in my pajamas!

When I got home from dropping Anneliese off, Arnie looked at me like I had committed a crime! Where was his sister? What had I done?

To take his mind off of her absence, Hubby and I took the three dogs out to the garden and pulled weeds, hunted down the latest zucchini and cucumbers and tossed the balls for the three pups.

By noon the woman who is selling our peaches stopped by to collect the peaches she needed for that days Farmer’s Market, and I was able to get some of her home grown garlic. This stuff is to die for, it is that good!

About three o’clock we called the Vet’s and they said to come and get sleepy Anneliese. So we got Arnie and piled into the car and drove to pick her up. She was so sleepy still, that she put her head on my arm and drifted back off to sleep.

Dinner was an easy meal. Pork chops, the last of my freezer applesauce, baked new potatoes, and zucchini and summer squash tossed with olive oil and garlic and sauteed with a little basil.

Arnie is happy to have his sister home. They slept next to me in my chair all evening. They truly are best friends.
