Hello CHRIS , such a happy journal , truly warming , so happy that you are doing o well and got my small gift ,a friend posted it from Boston for you . Looks like you and family are all well and having a good day, hope Holly tests are good . Love the photos , and you have done well with the vegetables , love the zucchini , flowers , sweetcorn , so rewarding to grow your own vegetables .Here too we have a heatwave all week , its too hot, and we had no rain for months , had to buy a tower fan to keep the lounge cool, I am really uncomfortable with this hot weather .Give your Mum ,family my best wishes and love,the puppy sounds adorable , here Lici has not been too well , but she is happy , she can only eat home cooked chicken with rice and vegetables . Best wishes , lots of love , to you and family, stay in touch, big hug, lots of love ,Lucy.

What wonderful garden shots. I'd love to see Taylynn's puppy. What kind of puppy is it. I hope Holly's bloodwork went well. They haven't always made me fast to do bloodwork

Glad to hear you all had a good day and I’m so excited for Taylynn getting a puppy for her birthday. So where’s the pic of the new pup? I can’t wait to see it exclamation

I got confused in my message earlier and thought Holly was going for her bloodwork today but hopefully it went well yesterday lol

You should become a photographer, you take awesome pics! Love all your beautiful flowers,!
Enjoy your Tuesday morning treats and have a very good day today please be careful in this heat!
