My SweetieBear dh and I were outside and noticed that our beautiful hibiscus plant had 21 full gorgeous blooms on it. It almost always has some and sometimes many, but never 21 all at once. So that made us smile and he took a picture of it, of course.

That was yesterday. Today when I saw the picture, I noticed our cute Zuma Girl (just her head and sweet face) way down in the corner of the shot. Another smile! I'll see if I can make it a little smaller and post it...

Oh, please try and post it. That would make ME smile, for sure. We have regular hibiscus here, the ones that are on a bush - white or pink or lavender. Like Rose of Sharon blooms, only the bushes are smaller and the stalks die back to the ground each year. They only bloom in the early cool part of the day.

I've posted other shots of this bush before I think. Or at least one or some of the flowers. The plant itself used to be nicer which it was younger. Now it has gotten of scraggly or leggy. It's in a planter box and probably doesn't have enough dirt or room. We stuck it in there when we first moved in and didn't know what we were doing. You can't see all the flowers in the shot, but we both counted and in person, there were 21.

See our Kuma Zuma way down in the corner of the frame. DH didn't realize she was there

but of course I think it is cute. LOL!

My Brittany-pointer mix is very protective of family and doggie friends. Today he saw one of his buddies walking down the middle of the street alone dragging his leash. I told him Cody might get hurt, and he walked over, picked up the leash and walked the little guy home.

I received a Thank You card from each of my two grandsons for their birthday presents...and a Thank You card from their mom for her birthday present and thanking me for watching the Grands every Monday all summer....how much she appreciates having someone who the children are safe with and who loves them.....

What a wonderful family, your daughter is right, the grands are blessed to have you to care for them. I have very fond memories of the happy times I spent with my grandma (and gramps) while I was growing up. I know yours will feel the same.

Thanks, Mink, she is my DIL...I should have made that clearer...I am hoping I am making memories with the Grands...so when I am dead and gone....lol....I will be remembered for all the fun things we did when they are here...

That must have been something to see. Kudos to your pup.
