Good morning! Although it’s just barely still morning….

Ken did really well at the shows in Gray this weekend. Tigger was Winners Dog and Best of Opposite Sex for a point on Saturday and was Reserve Winners Dog on Sunday. Ms. Payne (that’s the hairy ugly, Ma) was Best of Breed on Saturday and Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex on Sunday for a point each day. I think that gives them both 8 points each, so only 7 to go with them both needing one more major win.

I spent most of Sunday in bed as allergies struck me down like a hammer to a nail. I’m better today, but that’s a relative term. My voice is really croaky sounding and I can’t breathe very easily through my nose which is also dripping like a leaky faucet.

I went to the Jackson Perkins warehouse on Saturday – it’s not really a warehouse as it’s in an old Lowes building, but man did they have a ton of stuff! Bird houses, bird feeders, pretty wrought iron trellises and this on top of all the plants and bulbs. All their bulbs were on sale for $1 per pack, so I bought Dahlias, Gladiolias, Star Gazer lilies and Begonias. Now I just have to find time to plant them. Of course they had roses galore as well as other plants. It was an experience!

Well, I need to get back to work!

Love to all,

Margaret
