Budgie Key Chain
I think I have never posted about the key chain I have made a few months ago...Made from a "Schleich" budgie in which I drilled a hole from back to belly (the Schleich company makes maaaaany little animals in different sizes), a few wooden beads, some stitching threads and a little hook. Love it. It holds the key for our garden door.
Thanks for coming over!

Doggie stomach bug
Ah, I had an awful night tonight with Flavie throwing up after being really worried about Dingo Friday evening. He started throwing up in the afternoon, several times, had some water that came back, too, so regarding his age and the heat and him not wanting to lay down but his hind legs giving in some when standing around, I took him to the vet. Who didn't like his overall look either and the smell in Dingo's mouth made him think of kidney problems but the first thing he said was that there is a bug around. Wow, this kidney thing really worried me until twentyish minutes later we had the results of the blood work and everything was good. So Dingo had an infusion (subcutane, hadn`t seen that before and it left a bump on his back/side) and some meds and was made "eating" some contrast stuff that is used for intestinal x-rays but also good to calm the stomach wall (not sure if that's a good word?) which was a big mess on vet's floor/cupboards/vet assistant`s and my pants and arms. Poor doggie boy hated it. He so much wanted his salami stick they usually get there.Back at home he sleeped and after that looked a whole lot better. Was hungry the next morning and got a bit to eat and drink and it stayed inside! Sleeped a lot more during the a.m. and now seems to have recovered a bit more every time he gets up again. No more incidents here.
And then yesterday night Flavie started it. Problem is she is so fast that you have no chance to put something under her face or get her somewhere else - especially when you are sleeping, even if you already are wearing your glasses while sleeping... So I had to clean up several times during the night... Poor thing is upstairs now in front of the bathroom door, no idea why that but I leave her there if she's comfortable.
The two young girls are ok so far and I keep my fingers crossed! They took care of old Gramps yesterday and seemed to stay with or watch him closely. So cute.

Knitting place in the shade
As long as the sun hasn't come around
the house yet it is lovely to sit on the patio in the cool shade, chair pulled back to the wall, knit or crochet, watch the birds or the doggies in the garden and be happy that I just can do that! Later in the day I do need the parasol otherwise it is too hot and bright. With much wind no parasol - so staying inside is the alternative, that's why I love to sit outside on my weekend a.m.'s
Wanna see some details? Here's the pale yellow hollyhock and one of the iron lizards. I love both.
Oh and here's little ol' me having grabbed the knitting and thrown myself into the chair :-)
Off now to exactly this special place!

June Garden
View from the back door and from the bedroom 
window upstairs. I do love how green everything is. Amazing how the perenniels grow once it is warm.
And the roses are just gorgeous.
As it is so dry over here (just had two or three cold days with one day 4 the other 7 litres of rain per square meter - which is as good as nothing...) Glad we dug a well at the back of the garden, you need a permission here, that costs a bit but better than using drinking water from the tap.
I
just hope my tomatoes will do right... Had them too long on the window sill, they are tiny, yellow leaves, weak. But a check this morining showed evidence of flower buds and new dark green leaves in the edges of the old ones. So there is hope!
(Sweetheart might need another one or two bought plants, just in case... tomatoes are the main purpouse of our veggie garden!!!)
