We have been looking for the right puppies for quite some time! Then, we got Vivi! We thought she was all we needed until these cute pups came along. Their mom was rescued by an organization that was supposed to have fixed her but she got pregnant at the shelter so, puppies!!! We have rescued the majority of our pets but we wanted to try having puppies for the first time in over 20 years and boy is it fun! The mom is a ten pound poodle dachshund mix and she is just as sweet as can be! Gunthor seams to look and act the most like a dachshound but we cant figure out what the dad... or dads.... could be. They are just so sweet and they have really big personalities. Star loves to run, jump, play, and give crazy kisses! She follows her big sisters Ziggy (short haired doxie) and ZIon (long haired doxie) everywhere and she would play with them all day if she could. Thor is pretty lazy in comparison but he still likes a good cuddle and loves to play fetch. But, mostly he likes to sleep and chew on sticks. Enjoy the video! It includes right after we got them, the pups chasing pore vivi around, Ziggy and ZIon going crazy with anticipation to play with them, and the pups three weeks later playing in the yard.

Hey guys! I painted a few terra cotta pots to look aged and to fit my home decor because it sounded like fun. Thats really the only reason why, haha! It would have been way easier to just white wash them but I really liked how they turned out with the texture on them and they really were fun to make!
To achieve this look I used white chalk paint, a warm gray or taupe chalk paint, small stiff paint brush, cloth and spray bottle, and a sealer. I used a glaze to seal mine.

I've had some succulents that need repotting and I also got some cute pots at hobby lobby when they had their summer decor 80% off that I was very eager to plant up. In todays video I repotted two cacti, and arranged a few little pots. One of them is with some itty bitty babies that are just so cute!!!

My veggie garden this year has been doing so much better than last year. Last summer growing in ground was so hard! The soil hadn't been used in years and before only for crab grass which became another issue, and we started out with a horrible earwig problem. This year though, the raised beds solved almost all the issues. I say almost because I think that the fact that we have had very little moisture has contributed to not as many earwigs. I thought that they would be so bad in my garden where the water and food is, but I think because last year was pretty dry too that they aren't as bad now. I mean, I am no earwig expert so I really have no idea. This is all pure speculation on my part.
The plants that I thought would do good in the back bed all died and the ones that I wasn't so sure of are doing awesome! I am going to be having another update soon because we are getting fruit now!!!! I think everything that is left other than the herbs and the sweet potatoes is just fruit. Cucumber, peppers, watermelon, tomatoes, eggplant.... Yep all fruit! No wait! We have some carrots! Woohoo!
Soon I need to start my fall garden crops. Even though we got such a late start, half the bed in the back is free so I can use that to get me started. And things like radishes grow so quickly that I can plant them a little later. I'm guessing that we will have a decently long growing season for the fall garden but I want to do hoop houses around the beds that I can use to keep greens longer. That will be so nice if I can convince my husband of my genius.
