We stopped at the garden shop for a few supplies today. While there, as usual, I took pictures of some of the pretty flowers on display. According to the label, this is a Khmer Pure Pink Ginger. Click on the image to enlarge.

We used a coupon to get a discount on a dozen Vendela roses on Friday. I arranged them in the vase where I already had some Asian ‘Stargazer’ Lilies. Click on the image to enlarge.

Our Sunday dinner menu included pasta and mozzarella stuffed meatballs with Verna’s excellent marinara meat sauce. We knew that Bear loved anything with Verna’s marinara, and today we now know that Cabela does too! You could almost re-use the paper plates when they were done.

You can’t see them yet, but maybe in late September, we will have some hot pink devil flowers crowning this Devil’s Tongue Cactus. You can see the beginning of the flower pods near the crown of the barrel cactus. Click on the image to enlarge.

We just love Cabela, our precocious new Miniature Pinscher. She’s new to us even though she’s two years old. Bear loves her too, but can’t keep up with her - none of us can. Click on the image to enlarge.

I took this photo of the pretty yellow flower on our Cucumber plant this morning. If you look closely, you will see the little cucumbers sprouting underneath the flower. Click on the image to enlarge.

We got Cabela a couple of toys after we got her back to California. One of those, “Bobo” is a doggie toy with a squeaker in it. When she is in a playful mood, she will grab Bobo, and dash merrily around the family room squeaking Bobo and playing keep away.
The other day, I gave her a greenie, a doggie treat that cleans their teeth and sweetens their breath. She grabbed it and made three laps around the family room at full speed before stoping to chew it. When I said she was playful and energetic, I didn’t know the half of it.
Play the video above to watch a 24 second portion of Cabela’s afternoon session with Bobo.
