My Sheltie runs around the perimeter of our garden looking for things to round up and of course, barks at anything that moves! We breed dogs to work for us, and then find that sometimes it is not quite what we thought. Gracie is awfully cute though; just like my boy Ranger. When he brings his little Sheltie face to me, I just melt. Can't stay angry for long!hopflowernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-81970360878549908642017-05-20T21:20:39.969+10:002017-05-20T21:20:39.969+10:00That retroburbia link is great.

We used our compost today and I was pleased to see a lot of worms in it. We are also putting in a new raised vegie garden this weekend, it's in a great spot so I'm excited to try it out.sallyannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296788459556863093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-90613937161305825992017-05-20T14:20:22.630+10:002017-05-20T14:20:22.630+10:00What a thoughtfull little dog.

Over the past week I have read so many posts and while I have been living a simple life since pregnant with our eldest 22 years ago, lately I have been unsettled as my youngest finishes school next week and heads off to college in September, ( please God!) Your lovely gentle wisdom has soothed and settled me and reminded me of what's important and of my value and values! Thank you. May inspiration continue to motivate you to write on your blog. Blessings and wishing you a lovely weekend.

I love your way with words. Don't you look amazing with your new hairdo!! We have two hole diggers here, and I never know which one has done the latest masterpiece, but they both disappear guiltily as soon as they see that I've caught wind of the new hole. Wishing you and Hanno a lovely weekend.
