Today Edis worked in the yard again, and got all the Tiger Lilies dug up and into bags with a little damp dirt. It was hard work, and hot out there this morning. She is taking some home, and I'll try to get some of the others into the yard at Arrowhead in the next week or so. That flower bed will just be going back to being lawn, so no weeding will be needed. Edis has been walking the dogs each day, and brushing them. They are loving the attention..
This is Edis' little dog Lucy.
Back Yard. The whole yard front and back has sure been filling in good.
This sage chicken had a very small chick for this time of year and was protecting it from the cats by making herself the center of attention while the chick got away into the tall grass and sagebrush. The cats wouldn't come out while I was there either. But this behaviour by the grouse was very interesting. After the baby was safe she flew away. This chick must have been from a second nest, or otherwise I don't know why it was so small.
In the mean time I got the food ready to take to the Round Hill Painting retreat this weekend. Judi and I are partners for the Monday night dinner. We will be having hamburgers with the fixin's, a baked bean casserole, fruit salad and Hello Dolly Bars. So I was able to get the sauce for the baked beans made and frozen, and all the ingredients measured out and ready to put the Hello Dollys together. This will save a couple hours work up there. By then it was lunch time. This afternoon, Edis helped me get my art supplies ready and packed into the car, and I got my suitcase packed She pretty much loaded everything, and that was much appreciated. Edis will be leaving tomorrow. I'll need to take off to meet the others artists about 7 in the morning. Will be gone until Tuesday afternoon, so won't be blogging again until then.
