Flowers, Rain, Boys, and Nuns

This is a type of Mallow and looks like a relative to the hollyhock family. Numerous flowers grow on the stalk and it moves nicely in the breeze. It will be one of the plants I move before the shed is torn down. Have several to move but really do not want to disturb them until the last minute as they will take a lot of attention following the move.

Answer to my prayers----We had some rain last night and it is also in the forecast for today. Now might request less heat today following the rain. Next, I will be asking for the moon. Seems I ask for too much anyway--must work on that.



Have found 2 perspective dog/house sitters (both referred by reputable friends) to meet and interview. One of them is an dog trainer and 20 something years old--the other is a retired ex Dominican nun who does this for a living and also a Mt Carmel school mate. Will be visiting with one this weekend to meet and get the "boys" approval then will contact the next one to set up a visit. Could make this be a Ma's contest question and ask: Now who is in the lead to be chosen? Will see.

As always, I ask you to stay healthy, be safe, and keep in touch. (Someone had to have a tooth pulled on Monday--hopefully, you are in touch and know who that person is--Aha--another quiz for the stay at Ma's).

Love,
Mom
