Last night while I was planting flowers, I chained Danny Boy to his 30 foot lead out in the back yard. I thought he’d like to sit out there with me. He wanted to go back into the house but contented himself with rolling on his back in the grass. I went about my planting then looked around and saw Danny on the back porch. I had him attached to the tree and didn’t think the lead would reach the porch. Somehow he had gotten unhooked from his lead. At least he headed for the house with no distractions with cats or other dogs. He must have unhooked himself when he was rolling around in the grass.
I’m getting settled in at work. I took another order today and I handled an accounts receivable problem. It does get boring though when I have nothing to do.
I cut the hedge when I got home. It went rather quickly as the growth has slowed down. I watered the plants I planted yesterday. I found the squirrel had dug a few up with the roots drying out. One looked totally gone; I hope the other two will survive.
I hope to get a couple projects done tomorrow. I hope to sleep a little longer, too.
Danny has been walked and I need to do his ears before turning in.

Hi Karol,
The picture of your mother's rose really brought back some memories for me. I had a beautiful yellow rose plant that had been my mother's. And a couple of years ago, it just began not doing well anymore. Much to my regret, we finally had to dig it up. That was so very hard to do. It always made me think of her whenever it bloomed so beautifully. I miss that plant a lot. Your mother's rose plant still looks so beautiful. A beautiful picture. Thanks.
It's too bad your job isn't a little more fulfilling for you. The day goes so slowly when you're not all that busy. But, at least, it's fairly close to your home, which is a very good thing with the price of gas. And, getting your paycheck is comforting to you I'm sure too. However, not staying busy enough at work is no fun. It often seems like it's feast or famine. My last few years of working were terribly busy and I felt like I was drowning. So, retirement was a very welcome gift for me. I heard later that three different people were doing my job after I left. How I would have welcomed the help while I was there. Oh well, such is life at times.
Danny Boy just proved how much he loves his home. He had a chance to run off, but he knows a good thing when he has it. I bet you could hardly believe he had undone his chain while he was rolling around. I'm so glad he didn't run off.
Enjoy your morning church service and the rest of the day as well. Ruth
Dearest Ruth,
I always enjoy your comments. I am happy the rose bush is still doing well inspite of the shade. She had a rose bush of her aunt's in the back yard. I tried to air layer it to get a cutting but the bush died before it could produce roots in the cutting. There was just too much shade and a rose of sharon over took it. My brother doesn't know much about pruning. I was saddened to see it had died.
The job will get busier when I learn more about it. The lady I work with was so busy on Thursday she had to stay until 6:00. I felt sorry for her as I sat there playing solitare. I didn't know enough to help her. I did what I could. I mostly screen phone calls. That is a help to her as she doesn't have to be bothered with nonsense calls.
