Sonic Hedgehog

We picked up a dog toy for the kids when we were at Super One Foods the other day. The stuffed animal lasted all of 1 hour before its innards were ripped out & spread across the lawn. When Bravo strutted back into the house, he was carrying the dead remains in his mouth like a prize. What disembodied creature was left appeared to be totally soaking wet, juiced. Just like the gophers they catch around here. Juiced.

On Sunday, we stayed around home & did yard work. Cut down a couple trees in the dog play yard; hubby trimmed up branches on other trees; fixed the watering system to adapt to the new plants; hubby replaced the fireplace glass; put up the birdhouse that fell down; placed new rocks in the pond & stream.

Water Lettuce, Lily Pads, Snails, Anarcharis, Water Hyacinth, Parrot Feathers, Mosquito Fish, Water Lilys. These are things that are recommended to be placed in ponds. I want to stop in Spoky-Jo on Wednesday to pick them up.

Forgoing a full circuit, I only biked 15 miles today - Monday. Whew! Hubby was talking to a biker with a "real bike" and he convinced the hubster that the only way to go is with a high-dollar professional bike. Much easier to ride, better shifting capabilities. Maybe I can work on him, too.

I think I got heatstroke after my ride-had an intense headache then tired. Biking later in the day most of the shade is gone. So will have to do it earlier from now on.

When hubby came home tonight, the swamp cooler quit working. Will have to buy a new one. What crap luck.
