Got a Call Yesterday

A lady had ordered one of our pet urns for her cat. She called to verify when I thought she would get it since it usually takes a couple weeks or so. It's so hard to lose a friend and these little fur people become so much a part of us. I felt badly for her loss.

On another note, the sun is shining in Indiana today! HURRAY! Scotty and I took a road trip to town because we wanted to get out and see the sun. Since it seems to be warming up, April is around the corner and the sun was shining, our thoughts turned to gardening again. We looked at garden stakes and stepping stones but all the ones we saw were just regular patio stones. Nothing really neat like the ones we have listed on our website.

Spring? Spring? Where???

Rumor has it Spring is in the air! Here in Indiana, we have rain in the air. And on the ground. And everywhere. I did notice a few daffodils popping up when Scotty and I took our walk. That's progress.

To cheer myself up and get ready for Spring, I have begun setting out my Geeky Beeks and Giggler Ducks. We're getting enough breeze to watch them move and sway. Their bright colors and adorable faces definitely make me grin every time I see them!

Here are a couple so you can see. The blue one is a Geeky Beeks Pucker Up! The pink one is a Giggler Duck.

I know the saying is that April showers bring May flowers. But this is March! I need some color, some beautiful weather, some SPRING! How about you?

A Quick Trip......

A quick trip to the doctor today confirmed that I have become allergic to the dishwashing detergent I've used for years. I suspect they "improved" it. So I'll be letting my wonderful husband do a few and washing my hands with the all natural soap I carry. I told the doctor that of all the things I might have developed an allergy to, dishwashing soap was not necessarily a bad thing. :)

It was interesting getting out the door to go to the doctors office this morning. I had a little four footed fellow that wanted to go with me. Didn't matter where I was going, Scotty needed to go too! But I stayed strong. And he stayed home.

A Week Ago .......

One week ago yesterday, we finally got the phone call we'd been awaiting! We were going to finally get our rescue Sheltie! We were lucky enough to find him through the Sheltie Rescue of Greater Lafayette.

Meet Scotty! He's a 5 year old Shetland Sheepdog, commonly known as a Sheltie. But there's nothing common about this guy!

He was trained as a therapy dog for visiting nursing homes and hospitals. His first Mama passed away in December. Scotty came to us Mar. 16. As soon as he gets more accustomed to us, I think Scotty and I may see if we can do some visiting here.

He's such a well mannered little guy and he's just such a joy to have with us!

You can tell we're dog lovers by one glance at our Garden Party Tea website. Expect to see even more lovely items with dogs on them soon!
