Summer is waning and so will this blog as I shift gears to school where I will be writing a separate daily blog for parents and children.  With all the puppies gone, we’re down to our three Griffs plus Reine who will depart for her Flagstaff home in a week and a half.  Life for the big dogs has been good since the puppies left as they have more couch time with us in the evening and more running time with us outside.  They love having humans with them when they’re playing outside, even if we’re not doing anything specific with them.

Below is the garden in the back yard that was untended to all summer.  We harvested a few spears of asparagus in spring and then I barely looked at it again while we were busy with puppies. Oh well, there’s always next year.
