Array of flowers...

Few travelers take the back roads to see the land or small towns dotted along the way, they will miss the array of flowers and flags placed on or near headstones in cemetary's. For those of us that do take those roads and witness the beauty of the flowers and flags are reminded of the weekend and how it is indeed celebrated with programs and 21-gun salute's heard from afar. We traveled hours, as we do each year, placing flowers, meet with family, eat lunch and see friends we haven't seen in some time.

We'll retrieve our flowers again soon, the dogs will be happy for the ride, new sights, sounds and smells and maybe even nap on a warm pillow. Until then, travel out of the way in your Summer journey's, the prairie grass is tall, beautiful and waves gracefully.

Safe travels, take your dogs for a ride and enjoy your outings.

Bowdle..

Buster is from Bowdle and our family lived in Bowdle for 30+ years, storms came and went but nothing like what traveled a course like last weekend. If you haven't heard about the tornado's that lifted farms away, google Bowdle SD tornado and it will send you to several sights with pictures and video's. The narration is freightening.

Potting pretty flowers this week to travel them north to Bowdle, placing them at parents, grand and greatgrand parents, aunts and uncles that served in WWII. We walk, visit and remember, praying over friends that have passed this year. We will help friends where we can and then drive back to a home that still stands on a solid foundation. Counting our blessings. With the EF4 catagory tornado that swept through, nothing could stand against it. Life won out, no injury's to people and we prayed for the animals too.

It's going to be hot, if your dog is out, they'll need shade, plenty of water and shelter from storms.
Safe travels.

It's a jungle out there!

Sun, water and humidity make grass grow like weeds, very quick and very tall. Whisps of white could be seen earlier, wading through but no worries now, we mowed early Sunday morning.

Again they roll, stretch on their backs feel the cool of it all. Along with the fresh mowed grass and blossomed flowering crab, the house smell wonderful as the windows are open and Carlee is napping, Buster is out on patrol. Prairie grass is beautiful blowing in the breeze.

We're baking and filling dog treat orders today and wanted to drop a note, get out and go for a walk with your dogs, stretch first. If we all stretched like our dogs, we'd be more flexible and limber. Give it a try, it looks funny, but it is amazing!

Enjoy our week!

Blog list...

New to our blog?! There is a search box to the left that will direct you to posts with words you'll find in our blog, such as treats, Daisy, comments. You get the idea.

The creation of a blog list we like to visit is placed at the bottom, more will be added as time moves along.

Slow start at our home today, but much to do as planting flowers, baking treats from orders we received yesterday at the Farmer's Market. "We have BIG dogs, can you make BIG bags and you deliver?!" Absolutely! "My husband keeps a bag of your treats in his pickup, do they get to the dogs honey?!" Always fun to hear comments and stories.

Enjoy your week!
