Jack in his garden

Jack makes me laugh every day, especially when his royal highness is out and about in his garden. I like to think that for a dog of his small stature, he must feel as if his territory is quite large. He has all these nooks and crannies to explore and at one end behind the Jacuzzi room there lies his jungle, it hasn’t reached its maximum height yet, but I have a small grove of perennials that bloom in August that Jack loves to wander in during his hunting expedition.

These pictures are of Jack chasing something near the fountain in his little pond. He loves running around the tiny pond, he knows that there are things that drink out of it and he is bound and determined to catch something off guard. So far this year I haven’t caught him with anything in his mouth, but the hunting season is still relatively new.

This week I plan to work some more on my novel and to also do a little bit of weeding and clearing to give a more polished look to my flower beds. It is going to be cooler so I’ll be able to work without fear of over-heating. There is always work to be done in gardening, nothing strenuous just light weeding but it is still work. I love it and it is very therapeutic for me, relaxes my mind and gives me time to write in my head while I clear the weeds away from my plants.

The next big thing

What will the nest mustt-have technological innovation be? Jetpacks? Hoverboards? Wind-powered calculators?

I am not really in favor of replacing people with automation but in the spirit of the prompt I am still waiting for Rosie the robot from the cartoon The Jetsons. I loved that cartoon of the future where everything was ready with only the push of a button. George the bumbling Dad and Jane the wife, Rosie the robotic housekeeper all of which pressed buttons for dinner, washing dishes, drying dishes and everything under the sun.

I wish for Rosie the robotic housekeeper only because cleaning and putting things away day in and day out gets old very quickly. I have always liked doing things once and be done with it, repetitive tasks have never been my strong suit. I am the most awful domestic manager in the world, I might as well just come out with it in plain English, I am the worst housekeeper on the planet. I know of so many ladies who are wonderful at it and I am just not. Rosie where are you?
