DD! My Friend. I got something for you. Don't go anywhere!

Sitting by the refrigerator is always a good place to be.

But he who is king of the stove, RULES!

Hi Auntie D.D.
Love you, Varnie!

Thank you I was just going to say that must be Varn, that lovable rascal.

What a nice thing to do for me Micro.

without hitting my head

Hey, he's your God Dog! My pleasure. And he's doing great. Still the rascal. Still the scamp, still sticking his head between the steps and biting his brother and sister's legs on their way up and down the stairs.

And I always tell him when his Auntie D.D. asks about him.

That's really coming along great, Penny! I love it and so will you when it is done.

No way would he be able to eat a grown deer... wonder why he kept messing with them.

Because it could. Is it going to get them no. But it was practising. Warm up run. They were some healthy deer that it doesn't have a chance to get. Come deep snow season maybe.

They are calling for our first frost over the weekend so time to get the plants in and dig up my gladiolus bulbs.

How do you dig them up? Do you cut the tops off? I wanted to dig mine up last year but they still had huge tops on them. Most of them came back and split to multiples. Some didn't come back.

Ah heck I was happy with the first growing of it another shipping container I traded those with the neighbor for eggs one on the banty other on the little we built

I just take a spade to them making sure to dig out far enough that I don't hack a bulb in two which I have done before. And yes, I do trim back the stalks/leaves to about 6 inches of stalk and I use that to tie them in a bundle and hang them in our shop where it never freezes.
