The rain has slowed down and we had some time to fix our yard. We just need someone to fix Rick's hat now. :) We have installed a few new cameras in the coffee fields and had time to clean up weeds, mow the lawn, fill in some holes that the puppies have dug and tried fighting off some ant colonies. We even had time to plant a new pineapple plant. I am hoping that this one grows before the puppies decide to play with it. To plant a new pineapple plant, you can take the top of a pineapple that you have eaten and pull away the leaves on the bottom to expose roots. Who knew there were roots under those leaves??? Then you plant this pineapple topper into the ground and give it a little water. Pineapple plants can grow in planters too! It is one of the easiest things to plant. The neighbor horse and I have become friends. She comes over to the fence for pets and conversations on how she should stop eating all of the trees along the border....she has decided that she must continue eating the trees though. However, she seems to like hearing me lecture her. The puppies are officially twice the size they were when we got them. Karma has turned out to be the one that wants to please us and takes her job of guarding the house very seriously. Dante (the one lying down) is a little less concerned about what anyone else wants from him. He can be found sleeping most of the time and he MIGHT get up for pets or food, depending on his mood. New flowers are blooming in the backyard and there are butterflies everywhere! I did not get a picture of the butterflies, because no matter how sweetly I asked them to stay still for a picture, they seemed not to care.
