Sounds like another WINNER OF A DAY!!! LOTS OF SUNSHINE AND SUMMER FUN!!! Glad you have such a nice day with lots of gardening and SUNSHINE!!! All of your crops are looking FANTASTIC and RIGHT ON SCHEDULE for SUMMER YUMMIES!!!

Hung out at home today keeping buzy doing all kinds of things... Harvested another full basket of blueberries which froze to two quarts which will be wonderful for winter/fall times! There are still TONS on their way to ripening so many more will be following I hope. The trick is keeping the birds OUT of the blueberry bushes and tomorrow I\'ll also be picking Japaneze beetles--only saw a couple so hand picking is the way to go... Also gave Bella a good brushing as she\'s shedding badly then put that hair into the garden to deter the animals from eatting MY crops... Long long day which leaves me in my big sunglasses with eyes that have worked hard enough... LOL... Never a good thing when your eyes give out!

Love to you and everybody in CT!!! Hope you all enjoy your evening whatever you decide to do, and off we go into a GLORIOUS SUMMER SEASON!!! Pups are sacked out in their FAV spots so we\'re ALL in relax mode as usual... Love you guys!!! xoxoxo Cj
