| Growing versions of Peace is fun - this is Paradise Peace. |
Recently, Sassy and I did our morning walk. We saw the morning coffee drinkers first, and Sassy gave them some time and barked to leave.
Then we saw Pat, John, and Sam. Pat is Sam's mother, and all three love Sassy. Sassy's stunt there is to give kisses to one and not the other, but she adores all three. If one has to go inside, she peers at the door waiting for the missing person to come back. Another Sassy game is to come back and give the hurt person lots of kisses, smiling as everyone talks about her.
Ranger Bob starts the day in the afternoon and works into the night. Sassy times her afternoon walk at 3 - 4 PM, to catch Bob going to work. Morning walks are no later than 7 AM, or the gentle whining starts.
Bob said, "We are going to do your lights, like it or not!" The Military Gardening Group met to get things going, discuss new used books and movies, and have pour-over coffee. Since the temperature was below 70 outside (not 70 below), we began with coffee. PFC gave us beautiful chimes, and we gave him some collectibles, including two hand-made items. Bob designed outside and inside lights and said, "No outside porch light. That ruins everything!" I said, "Yes, Sarge, but remember I am a bird colonel and outrank you." I plan on pulling rank when we discuss the proper location of hummingbird feeders and the best food to use. As a chaplain I would probably be a general, just as my ND PhD friend retired as an admiral in the Navy - as a chaplain.

| Three Heirloom Roses - selling for $40 each, were $10 each as remainders. The fragrance is strong enough to make a gardener cough. |
Christina joins us for most gatherings and Bob often brings roses for her, which end on the altar. He was thrilled this summer with the Rio Samba Rose he got from me for $10. The second one died so he is getting one Heirloom, with an old-fashioned scent, to replace the other Rio Samba. No, I am not charging him!
