Do you like my template design?I like the mellow color and the birds remind me of Ryan....boy how those birds made him bark everyday!! I swear they used to sweep down to annoy him purposefully. Can't believe he's been gone a year. May 31st was the anniversary of his passing. And as for Bailey, I remember the morning after a bad thunderstorm, a bird had been hit and was laying in our yard. Sweet mama Bailey went out to investigate, and the rest of the flock kept swooping in to peck her. I had to go running out there and shoo them off....they were drawing blood! So that shows how much I loved that wee girl, as many of you know I have a significant phobia of flapping wings.

Right back to present day....I thought I would blog to show you how much my garden has grown. All the rain we are having this year has helped the majority of them to shoot up. The one exception is the basil. It has not grown as much, and a patient informed me it needs a lot of sun.

This has been a bizarre weather year. Its June and we are having more rainy cold days than hot. Although they are saying that is going to change this weekend.....will let you know.

Right I bet finish up and go get my mountain of housework done. Did nothing last night as was exhausted after running and doing the hour pool class where a woman yells at us and puts us through some mighty painful drills. I love it!! Have been loving how much I hurt the next day.

I also did a 7 mile run this morning. Wont be taking Holly on that route again though. Too many dogs to distract her and cause her to yank me off my stride. Also had to jump off the road at one point as someone in a BMW was breaking the law and was texting and driving....just about hit me, and the cheek of it was as he noticed and swerved his car at the last moment, he continued to text. Seriously....is there any text that important!!! Think I might get one of those bracelets with my emergency contact details on though, just in case next time I'm not so lucky!!

OK....really going this time. Enjoyed my wee chat as I slurped down some choc pudding....what?? I deserve it dont I??

Love to all
