Just checking in

I can't believe I haven't written since Sunday - and here it is Wednesday evening. Life surely gets busy sometimes. I am still a bit tired - puppy sitting is fun but also tiring - and just now getting everything put away after being gone pretty much for four weeks. It is nice to be home and getting back into the swing of things here. Pod Sisters arrive tomorrow night and Friday so house cleaning has moved to the top of my list. Thank goodness they come several times a year or I'd never clean my cottage - except for Thanksgiving when the family comes here. The flowers are dead and weeds have taken over my little plot with basil and lavender the only surviving plants. I knew better than to plant spring or early summer flowers. The heat makes it impossible to have flowers without lots of watering and somehow as the Pond level recedes I'm inclined to save water. Enough. I'll see if the day tomorrow allows for a post.
