We’re getting a terrific break in weather out here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s perfect for gardening–coolish, cloudy mornings, and sunny afternoons. Yesterday, we had\u00a0rain, and it’s supposed to last a few days–much to the chagrin of William<\/a>, the household autosport\u00a0enthusiast. 2016 Vintage Races<\/a>\u00a0at Portland International Raceway this weekend.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin has gotten so accustomed to me heading out in the garden first thing, that she’s taken to standing outside the patio door barking if I don’t get right out there. Work, smirk. Persistence is a Chow Chow breed characteristic, so they say. Hah, that’s putting it politely.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin: Please come out and play.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wish I could let the kitties outside with us too, because Mister really needs a job. (I don’t want them to get tangled up with a car or coyote\u00a0or let them hurt birdies.) For being so sweet, Mister\u00a0keeps me terrifically\u00a0busy trying to stay ahead of him. To his credit, no claws ever–though he has perfected the art boneless kitty when I catch him in the act: he’s big, he heavy, and he’s proud of it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
