My blogger dashboard page is completely different and I now have a hard time getting saved posts to edit and publish.  Not impossible,but much more cumbersome than the previous dashboard and "new post" page."  Also I used to be able to get to GMail and reader from my blogger dashboard and I can't seem to do that at all any more.  It's just weird. 

It's grammy camp week for Dane.  Mike will be working in the basement while we are full tilt energy level going.  Today did a craft project--a card for his mom.  We went shopping for new shoes, then spent the afternoon at the Birds of Vermont Museum.  I'd never been there before and it was just delightful.  We took a walk to the frog pond and found...frogs!!


Then it was a refreshing dip in a cold Vermont stream.


Where there just happened to be an endless supply of rocks that could be either put in a pile to bring home for the "rock collection" or thrown to make a series of splashes.  Boys are so easy to entertain.

Last night...
"Goodnight, Dane.  I love you to pieces.
"Goodnight, Grandma.  I love you seven pieces."

Not so cute at 5 a.m. this morning....
Dane: "It's morning time.  I am all done sleeping!"

Grandma: "No you are not!  Go back to bed."

    Cute. I love how Dane woke you up. He was ready for more adventures. How fun.

    Oh - you tell the story well! Little Dane is a cutie (and has a way with words). I'm wondering who "won" this AM!

    Knock-on-wood, I still don't have the Dashboard problems, I've been reading about. Or else, I don't do my blogging, the same way, others do it. Whatever, I'm just glad it's not bugging me! Yet! I have enough troubles with my posts, now and then.

    5AM!!!!!!!!! Put some picture books and coloring books in his room tonight. And tell him to USE THEM, until you come in and tell him it's get-up-time. :-)

    Laughing out loud at your conversations with Dane. Got a feeling that didn't work.
    Love those cold mountain streams. Delightful.

    Ok, if I pay their airfare, can I send my grandkids to you? You sound like a whole lot more fun than Grammy.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while Levi
