Good morning tooters. Another dewy morning out, it is making the lawns greener & thicker after the intense heat of the previous months of #Summer. It’s about 14c already nearly half way to today’s top temp of 30c & the sky is a beautiful pale clear blue. Still a little smoke haze around the hills.
I have to call the optometrist this morning as my eyelashes really need to be dealt with again. Hopefully they can get me in early. After lunch I am planning to head to the pool for a lovely swim before it gets too warm. With luck I will get a couple of swims in this week.
Wishing everyone a wonderful #Monday. Stay safe out there 🌻. #Weather #Exercise

It wasn't quite the butt crack of dawn, but it was early and cold, as Summer and I set out for our walk.
We are determined to get to the trail while the owl is still hunting, the geese are lifting off the fields, and the deer are just starting to stir. This means leaving before hot drinks or breakfast can be consumed.
The tide was out as we watched geese fighting with each other to determine who would be the dominant gander. They do make some noise and Summer was fascinated.
Today, if all goes well, we will pick up any garbage people dumped on our road, and trim the grass along the way. In between, we will bake pies and assemble cheese enchiladas for the grandkids.
Typical Sunday.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Good morning tooting friends. It’s #Sunday & I woke earlier than normal today - before 6am, it was around 10c when I got up & it will get to a high of 29c. With the sun being so much lower in the sky the nights aren’t too bad, the grass gets dewy & everything seems nice & fresh in the mornings. I know it’s #Autumn but it feels like it’s still late #Summer.
My times for going swimming this week 🏊🏼‍♀️ will be early afternoon while this warmer #Weather persists. Today though I’ll be doing an at home Les Mills #Exercise class, I just haven’t decided what class to do. Then my weekly visit with my sister, I hope she has started to move more, but she seems quite content to spend most of her days on her bed unfortunately & it worries me. This afternoon I’m going down to Chiltern to meet up with the new little dog at one of my regular housesits as I’ll be there for a few nights over #Easter. A bit of a full on #Sunday!
Wishing everyone a very pleasant #Sunday - enjoy your day.

While we waited for Summer's groomer to arrive we weeded the very overgrown strawberry patch.
Summer did her part by fetching my knee pad and dragging the weeds off to make a green waste pile..
The wind was fierce and Summer leans in. Her ears are funny bouncing up and down even when she is sitting still.
We managed to get the strawberries cleaned up and will add a few replacement plants after lunch.
We were sad to find out that Jonah, her groomer, is graduating from Cal Poly Humboldt and leaving the state for a new job.
I told Summer that her new groomer sounds really nice, too.
We will make her welcome and see how it goes.

Summer thinks that all garden projects include her hauling this black pot to and from each job.
She does a great job of getting it where it needs to be until it's time to move onto the next spot. So far today we have planted six tomato plants and started the arduous job of weeding out the strawberry patch.
By the way, Summer's pot is useful for adding small doses of compost after we weed. She is the happiest when she is helping.
Good morning, Mastodon.
