Thanks everyone for your kind comments. My picture editing has improved so much since my daughter gave me her picture editing program and showed me how to use it, Microsoft Picture Editing Program Pro 10, is the one I have. It is older now and they have newer versions available. It allows me to post the flowers as they really look instead of yellow tints as they have so much in early morning. Blue Me Away is a small flower, but it is new here so maybe next year it will be better. Frank Smiths picture of it is awesome. Crazy Ivan is so pretty, it has another flower open this morning. I only wish I had a regular garden to post pictures of, all of mine are grown in pots, but I'm moving up to bigger pots now and they do much better. Whisky barrel size is best and not as much watering. My raised gardens are full of irises and have been since 1985. I have clay here so daylilies don't like it so much, so I just line pots up everywhere and you can't hardly walk on the back patio, it is crammed full of pots. Dot

There's nothing like puppy-love. Even when our puppies are 6, or 9, or 17. I love my boys, Harry and Sam. Harry is my heart. I enjoy everything more when he is with me. Sam is loved, too; but my heart was so filled with Harry it was very hard when DH insisted on getting another puppy. (Two big hunting dogs in our little house and me barely able to move at the time.) I was very sick for the first 18 months we had Sam. I wasn't able to work with him, train him, or bond with him properly. In his defense, he adores me and tries so hard to be a good puppy. He fails, miserably, LOL, but he does try. Now that I'm functioning again I try to make a special block of "Sam Time" every day. Harry and Sam aren't the best of friends, but I've worked with Sam enough that he knows he can't hurt Harry. Sometimes they actually play together. Right now they're both piled up on the couch, bum-to-bum, lightly snoring. Enjoy your friend! He will be true forever.

Oh thank you all so much. I just found out he has some internal injuries, some broken bones, his right hand was crushed. I think they were going to operate on the hand today. Hope they can fix the hand, he said "cops need their gun hand"....... It could have been so much worse. He is a nice, man, and a good provider.

Wow! That looks like it just needs 2 pieces of graham cracker and a hershey bar! It riminds me of a roasted marshmallow!
