Since I'm on the subject

Ok so I have to brag. I have been out in my garden for the past couple of months, digging, de-weeding, planting, watering, you name it. I was a little worried when my marigolds started growing up to my chest with no blooms...

Yes, I know what you are thinking "Seymour!"

Anyway, they all of a sudden bloomed, a lot. Talking to my grandmother, she let me know that they are giant marigolds and those are the best for cut flowers. Wohoo.

So of course I immediately ran outside with my sheers and cut away. Not too crazy like you do with tweezers to your face, but enough to make a bouquet.



Now on the other side of bragging. My dog is brilliant. NO seriously. I gave her a "how smart is your dog" type of test my mom ripped out of a magazine and mailed me.


Side note: my mom likes either tearing out articles, or mailing me things that still go to their address, in a plain white envelope with no note. She even did that in college when she mailed me Halloween candy. I opened up my mailbox to this big orange envelope with three huge bags of chocolate and no note. Somehow I always know whom it’s from and I run and pick up the phone to call her.

Ok anyway, gave the test to Mollie and not only did she pass, she got the high score. Yep, it's official my dog's smarter than your dog.
