MOONDOG'S UPDATE

Well, it's been almost a year since I've posted anything on my blog...must've been a busy year.
But, since the first of 2012, I've had a new roof put on the house, a new engine, clutch and radiator put in the car and a new crown put in my mouth (and another one scheduled for next week!). Oh, yeah...and a lawnmower repair. Needless to say, it's going to be Raman and soup for awhile. (like they say, "What doesn't kill you....will help you lose weight!")
My vegetable garden is in for this year...onions, carrots, cherry tomatoes, strawberries and radishes.
I planted about 30 Walla-Walla sweet onions and the same number of Red Zeppelin onions. For some reason, the Walla-Wallas have not survived...only about 5 still struggling. The Reds are all still doing fine.
We surely need more sun, though.
A friend at work gave me some sunflower starts, so I planted them in the front yard. She told me that they should get at least 6' tall!!!

My 2 dogs, Boone and Sadie are doing fine. Boone will be 14 in August and Sadie will turn 12 later in the year. Boone is showing his age...moving a little slower and his vision ain't what it used to be....I have to really pay attention to where he is, because he will sneak up behind me, just to be close. If I'm not careful, I could step on him, or accidently kick him across the room!
Sadie is still as energetic as always. She's the "watchdog"....barks at any strange noises, and loves to look out the front window.

 I recently (June 5, 2012) was able to capture some images of the planet Venus as it transited (crossed in front of) the Sun. This is a rare event, and won't happen again until 2117!

Please feel free to browse around on this blog site. I have lots of entries and photos, going back several years.
