D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

It was hot; the dog, who is shedding mightily, slept on my bed all day as if practising for a championship.

( Whatever these things are, they're always jolly. )

D.O.P.-T.

I mowed the grass in back, which continues to seed enthusiastically. Monty remained in his hideaway behind the potted geraniums, just visible as a swathe of yellow fur.

( Cotoneaster blossoms. )
