Llamas Are Here...51º

It has been a week of thunder showers, cloud bursts and wonderful sunshine...The clouds are slowly moving out, leaving us with sunny days and warm nights, perfect growing weather...The garden is as planted as it is going to get, garlic will soon be sending up scapes, onions are growing like crazy, radishes are showing red and the hay bale gardening is still an experiment, don't think I will try that again...Fruit trees are done blooming, daffodils are done for the year, trolius and lilacs are putting on a show, poppies and peonies are budded, waiting their turn...Herb is mowing lawns twice a week...I love spring!

The llamas arrived last Monday and are in "hog heaven" in the lush pasture, behind our house...We find them very entertaining...Our friend Tater, (Becky and Johns' dog) came for a visit on Friday, so he and I gave our deck a good cleaning....I sprayed while he chased the hose and water, getting exercise and both of us got quite wet!..Yesterday H and I cleaned the front porch and added plants and chairs for our summer enjoyment...Washing windows and more cleaning is on the schedule this week, along with doctor appointments and regular acupuncture treatments are on our calendar.

Richard (official huckleberry scout) is back in the county for summer employment, so he and Pam joined us bringing a hot dog supper (along with lots of other food and drink) for a warm spring evening visiting on our deck...Becky and John begged off, after a busy week for both of them...That sums up life here on Barton Heights and I'm happy to be blathering away again!..Hugs to All...OWAV:)

Llamas coming toward the gate, curious as always.

Saying Hi and please scratch my ears.

Maybe I don't want my ears scratched today?
