As the Garden Grows

Despite the cool weather our veggies are slowly coming along. I'm happy to report that things are recovering from the initial bug onslaught in the greenhouse. The coveted blueberries are taking forever to ripen. We check on them several times a day. Bob's latest project is building a shed. It's going to be a cordwood construction like the one we made at our place on Sauvie Island. I finally plugged in the wheel and threw some clay. It's nice to get back into it. The dogs are OK. Tag is hanging in there but I'm not sure what's going on in his head. He's nearly blind, doesn't hear well, walks with difficulty (we pull him in a wagon for the evening walk) and sometimes he doesn't seem to know where he is, but there's still enough of him there to hold off making a decision on euthanasia. It's difficult.
