A Bunch of Nothin'

What have I been up to?  Pretty much nothing.  Just normal life, a couple of medical appointments out of town for the husband, taking care of the dog, the cats, and the house.  Listing and selling a few things on eBay.  In other words, just a quiet life.  And I'm ok with that.  I have had periods of life where it's one drama after the other and the ol' nervous system does not do well.

I bought a tie out for Milo, just to give him more mental stimulation.  I ONLY use it when I'm out there with him because his anxiety creeps up when he's alone, not to mention I don't want anyone to think I'm tying my elderly dog out and just leaving him out there.   I've got a hammock and he has a Coolaroo-type bed where we can hang out while he's outside. We don't get a lot of traffic but I thought he might enjoy the different sites from the front yard he doesn't normally get to see. He didn't really "get" it, and kept trying to go back toward the house, but I'm hopeful he will start to enjoy himself.

It's once again persimmon time.  How do you know?  When the persimmons fall to the ground, they are ready or just about ready.  If they are not quite ready they will finish ripening in the house.  

I finally sold this thing!  The cushions are sun-worn but in good shape other than being faded.  The buyer can either recover them or use outdoor fabric spray paint on them.  The glider itself is heavy and I hope the buyer gets many years of good use out of it as we did.
