Saturday February 19

Spring in February continues, temps reaching 80 ... of course the downside is, if the peach trees bud and bloom and then there's a big freeze, no peaches this summer ... morning run, joined briefly by little Mattie ... fed and kenneled, out again after digestive break (I always kennel dogs for at least a half hour after meals)... clipping branches, pruning ... husband goes into town to post office, DB jumps in truck with him (Snoopy tried to go too, but was soaking wet, having had a refreshing dip in the very muddy drainage pond...) inside for lunch, brush Corey (who seems to have managed to collect all the remaining sandspurs in his feathers) ... another brief pruning expedition, then load all into van and go to pharmacy for my meds... take dogs for walk by the waterworks pond, meet a guy with an electric controlled sailboat, which is terrifying the geese ... meet some cyclists, who are impressed by my dogs politely standing aside for them ... back to pharmacy and grocery store, then home ... not quite dark, so decide to tackle the dead branches in the fir trees, forgetting I'm in a Tshirt, scratch the heck out of my arms ... feed and kennel, then take a brief nap.
