Brownie was on high alert at the Apple Pool this morning, keeping a watch for squirrels - but tethered by the lower pool he missed spotting these by the upper one.

Good thing Matt's dog Lance was on duty up there!

I knew Katie and Warren were here because I saw Niijii's name on the Science Camp roster, but hadn't seen then until this morning.  Katie is reading a fun book, written by a neighbor of hers.

Please Don't Piss on the Petunias is a collection of essays and stories by a Colorado gardener with a dream: to give her two daughters the nature-centered childhood she had always longed for. When her husband finds an old house in a quirky part of town, she begins to make her dream a reality.  Engaging, edgy, and often hilarious, Please Don’t Piss on the Petunias follows Sandra Knauf as she turns a weed-filled yard into an urban paradise.
