In case I forgot to mention Summer loves, loves my husband. The feelings are mutual.
We all spent a few minutes outside on this, not too cold, early evening.
Summer wanted to run around her acre to be sure all was well and secure.
She is never too busy to run back to check on her pal though.
I wanted to share this feel good expression of pure love between best of friends.

Summer asked if I thought the tariffs might disrupt her food chain? If she was in the mood to eat of course. So, I took a quick look, and sure enough her kibble is imported.
I thought about how difficult it was to find kibble she would eat. Months of trial and error and a car load of rejected food.
I am resisting the urge to stockpile essentials, but this is different.
You can tell where my priorities lie.
I would have tooted earlier so I could say good morning but I was out finding kibble.
Summer feels loved and food secure now.

I'd forgotten how not fun an MRI is.
The good part was the warm blanket.
At least there was a good part.
I managed to stay still, for the scan, so I was in and out in 45 minutes.
We should find out if my shoulder will need surgery by Wednesday.
When I got home Summer had everything under control. She takes great care of my husband.
They were cuddled up and relaxed.
I was thankful that someone here on Mastodon brought up MRI safe masks so I bought some from a Canadian supplier. It worked out perfectly.
#Summer

Tove Jansson (1914-2001), Finnish artist and creator of the Moomins book series, on the remote island of Klovharun, her summer home for her and and her life partner graphic artist Tuulikki Pietilä for almost 30 years.

I bought some lobelia and viola starts at the local nursery. They were planted by a local grower.
Summer and I decided to go ahead and fill some of our excess flower pots with starts. Some will find their way to friends and some will brighten up our garden.
I wanted to see if Summer could fetch for me if I showed her an example of what to find. I only brought out one of my purple gloves and asked her to go back and get the other one. About two minutes later I had the second glove. She amazes me sometimes.
We do have fun together in the garden.
#Summer #Gardening

Summer needs exercise before I leave to go to the Hands Off protest.
She totally understands why we can't make it out to the beach today.
Her job is to stay home and take care of her pal.
She takes it very seriously.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Spring's balm quickly fades
Summer blisters the garden
Sunflowers show some skin
Thick and radiant through Fall

This afternoon I did some mowing around Summer's front acre.
After, we treated ourselves to a short rest, in the shade.
I can hardly wait for the roses to bloom. They are all starting to bud.
Our garden isn't very fancy but it is our own personal refuge.
We are happy here.

Roses in June colored pencil

My drawing is inspired by vibrant roses blooming in June. It's always so nice to see these roses again, as the weather gets warmer.
