Good morning. Summer summers along with breathing a bit easier today. #Photography #Today #Chicago #Summer #Bloomscrolling
She looks so innocent.
Don't let her fool you.
She is an instigator.
For sure.
Her pal called her on the phone. She could hear his voice and came running from the other side of the house. It's good that one of us can hear a pin drop a mile away.
She and her pal hatched a plan.
They miss each other.
He will ask to sit outside his room for a bit tomorrow after breakfast. Summer might be taking a walk in the same neighborhood.
It would be pretty sweet if they connected.
Little do they know that I already got permission from his doctor. Keeping that tidbit of information to myself.
It sounds like all treatment plans for my husband are on hold until he is infection free. The soonest he can transfer to another hospital or come home will be sometime next week.

The plumbers have arrived and Summer is keeping a close eye.
She says she's not sure if they are authorized to put new lids on our septic tanks.
I reminded her that she was on board when we made the appointment.
She is giving them her fierce look.
She calls this one Beware of Summer.

I sowed tons of poppy seeds in Spring. It brings me joy to see new poppy blooms, daily, in July 😁

Yesterday a box arrived in the mail for Summer.
It was full of her favorite kibble, a few treats and a new throwing disc. We finally got the box opened this morning.
She was so happy to play with something new.
Lots of throwing and fetching happened so good exercise was accomplished.
We are starting our day out in a joyful way.
Summer is feeling like her happy self.

Summer isn't sure how to manage without her pal. She was up every two hours last night.
By five am she was done trying to sleep.
A trip to the beach seemed like a good distraction so we hopped in the truck and hoped we had enough gas to get us there and back.
We did.
She is stressed so she puked all over our backpack and my jacket.
Oh well. It will all wash.
One she got to playing in the sand she was pretty happy.
We came home just in time to take a call from Stanford. Our doctor there has figured out what is wrong and how to fix it. Next is figuring out if a doctor here can handle the repair or if they fly him south. Finally more answers than questions.
Breakfast time for Summer before the dog sitter arrives and I'm off to the hospital.
Good morning, Mastodon.

The temp isn't too high but the sun feels very intense. I don't know how Kengo can stay out even in the shade with his fur...

It was time to cook Summer's breakfast so I left her in charge of her pal.
Next think I know there are strange sounds coming from the recliner.
Summer decided to lighten the mood.
Joke time.
She told him an oldie but a goodie.
Knock, knock
Who's there?
Ooze
Ooze who?
Ooze a good girl?
She got him to laugh out loud.
Leave it to Summer to start the day out with a smile.

We finally managed a quiet night.
Not even close to out of the woods but a few hours of rest to recharge.
The garbage bin out to the road in the nick of time.
Summer's pal is already napping in his recliner and she in in full lap dog mode.
Today might bring new answers to help my husband get back to feeling perky again.
We are ready for whatever is required of us.
Summer says she's got this.
I have faith that she will keep us going.

Good morning. Feeling prickly this morning as summer summers along. #photography #Today #Chicago #summer
Summer usually gets pretty excited about playing games on the stairs.
Today like the rest of us she is low energy.
Oh well.
She had a little fun.
Still adorable.
#Summer #DogsOfMastodon
Summer put her pal down for a nap while I process peaches for the freezer. I had big plans for jam and pies but freezing them for later works too.
At least I didn't let them spoil.
#Summer #DogsOfMastodon
We are all feeling out of sync.
Summer and I were up with her pal at three in the morning and were wide awake when he drifted back to dreamland.
Seemed like a good time to brew coffee and plan our day.
We agreed to trade off being in charge of her pal's care team.
I was at the hospital all day yesterday so she offered to cover today.
I will work on logistics and she can be comforter in chief.
Lots of phone calls to make coordinating the sharing of information between medical providers. Not to mention mountains of laundry. As much as I don't like disposable stuff I might have to bend a little. Here and there for now.
Summer is on her game and getting things done in the comforting arena. She is such a good girl.
Good morning, Mastodon.

This close-up of this morning’s strange sunrise is the most impressive photo I’ve seen yet from my iPhone 17 ProMax. I’m astounded at what a good photo came from its combination of optical and digital zooms, especially in this tricky light.
July 14, 2026. Wolverine Lake, Michigan.
The landscaped area close in to the house always seems to peak around mid-July. This was primarily a laurel hedge when we moved here, but after a lot of work I think this is much nicer. The pollinators seems to agree.
Approaching golden hour, Giant's chest, Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, Connecticut. August 30, 2024, 6:03 PM.

Summer's high ground perch got mowed today.
Mowing uphill is not my favorite.
I started with the uphill battle and saved the flat for last. Good thing because I was relieved to just walk back and forth for the last half hour.
Tomorrow I will mow along the road and be done for now.
My husband tried again to talk me into using the riding lawnmower but I get nervous on the slope. I've never been good at leaning this way and that to keep from tipping over. So I would rather push. If nothing else I got some good exercise.
Tomorrow morning the grandkids will take my car home to deliver to the body shop on Monday. I might be a couple of weeks without it.
It feels like a good time to get important repairs done.

This afternoon, I temporarily removed the chicken-wire anti-rabbit fence. The weeds had grown as tall as the fence (24” / 50cm). Cleanup completed! I re-installed the fence after taking the photo.
I took Summer out to inspect her property early this morning. She walks the line and looks for any sign of incursions.
Thankfully our MAGA neighbors are staying on their side of the fence. Summer has zero tolerance for intolerance so she keeps an eye on them.
She is a good girl.
Since we are staying home again this morning we thought that some spirited Frisbee chasing would wake us up.
My husband's health continues to improve, with no fever, but he is weak and needing the encouragement that Summer and I are enthusiastically dishing out.
We are on encouragement overdrive on this Saturday morning.
Good morning, Mastodon.
