I have never tried infusing fruit - sounds interesting! I love your Summer House and it looks as though the dogs do too! I hope that the 'bullying' can be stopped peacefully for all! Sorry to hear of your shopping trip and that it becomes easier for you - Shaun sounds as though he would enjoy knowing you had some bargain new clothes!

I've never had more than one dog at a time, but it sounds challenging!<br /><br />I like your chairs. They look comfortable and perfect for the space. I like trying new plants, and I hope yours do well. They certainly look pretty.<br /><br />Happy belated birthday. I know those flashbacks can be rough, and they seem to come out of nowhere. I feel for you :(<br /><br />I googled the fruit infuser bottles and look forward to hearing what all you try.

You're an ...Lots going on at your house, Cazzy! You're an adventuroous gardener - trying all those new plants. Some look quite unusual and should be beautiful when they fill in a bit ... if the dogs and other pruners don't get them first - lol. The summerhouse is charming.<br /><br />What a three ring circus you're having with the dogs. I sympathize. We had four once (3 rescues were a family of poodle-type like Luna and the 4th was a mid size lab-type). The lab would just lash out occasionally, but viciously. We believe she was thrown from a car when she came to us soaking wet in the rain. Anyway, we had to separate her from the others to eat. We also had to watch her like hawks. She almost killed one of the little dogs once. It was so hard, but there was something wrong in her head - past trauma, hormones, who knows - so we couldn't just put her down. Luna's feeling her oats (alpha-type maybe) and sees weakness in Sooty, I suppose. I do hope you can help her to see "the error of her ways." Good luck!<br /><br />I hadn't seen the Persian Tiles blanket before. The hexagons are gorgeous! I love the color combo your chose.<br /><br />I hope you have a good time with your grandson. Your birthday story is heart-wrenching. I'm so sorry. Special days (holidays, birthdays) are the hardest. This is a beautiful post, Cazzy. Thanks for sharing all your adventures. You should write a book ;-)<br /><br />Happy T-Day!

I don't envy you, I just worry that you might have taken on more than you can handle with all three. I sure hope Sooty survives this nightmare he is going through at the moment.<br /><br />Your new infuser is wonderful. Not sure I understand it (still), but it's very pretty at least.<br /><br />Sorry, I didn't even know your name was Carol. If you had won, I would have written Cazzy, because that is really all I've ever known you by. But thanks for joining us with your infuser this week, as well as dog updates for T this Tuesday.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548745806518465908.post-84268360569817548472017-07-26T01:28:45.043+01:002017-07-26T01:28:45.043+01:00Your chairs work wonderfully in the porch. :) I lo...Your chairs work wonderfully in the porch. :) I love the lights too.

You can't beat the price. Nice to have a new chair to crochet in. And I've tried water that's been infused and its really good. But not sure I want an infuser. I did get some watermelon fruit ice tea bags (its really just tea in BIG bags so you can make a whole pitcher full) and it tastes a lot like the infused water. Pups are looking just plain old cute.

I always drink them within two days, though. I make sure my water has been filtered before I add anything to it.<br /><br />I like the vest with a dark top better, too. It is slimming, too. Not that you need it, but just saying.<br /><br />I adore how you share so much time with the three dogs. Seems Sooty has taken a back seat for now, since Luna and Bertie have come to live with you. <br /><br />So glad you are back and feeling better. Loved the infused drink and the dogs, too.

I go through the same routine as you: everything open at night and early morning, and I shut everything after 11 am. We don't have air conditioning either. We could probably stretch to buy one but the electricity is so extortionate that we wouldn't use it much. Next year summer we will move to downstairs, where itis much cooler. It will be finished then. My hubby is working on it at the momento.<br />Oh dear those dogs are so playful that they can be in danger. I'm glad your dogs are OK and that you didn't break a hip in the process.<br />Like El.izabeth, I use the liquid vanilla extract.

I could do with some of those myself. We don't have them here.

I have a similar routine. Windows open and fans on as soon as I get up and before the sun rises. Once the sun gets up high enough to shine in the window, I have to make my office/craft room like a dark cave. Air conditioning is unusual here too. Electricity is very expensive and most of the year, we don't really need it.<br /><br />Those furry cuties really keep you hopping, don't they? I'm glad no one was hurt during their latest escape - including you! Your crochet repair looks perfectly seamless to me. No one will notice for sure.<br /><br />Happy T-Day!

Sorry to read you are in distress, because I can truly relate. I was in California one year when it was over 40 c and the friends didn't have AC. We went to the movies.<br /><br />I hope the dogs aren't suffering from the heat. They sure are fun to watch and read about.<br /><br />Sorry you don't have vanilla. I get mine in liquid form as I have mentioned before. Seems they should have it at your local market, since so many of your products and ours are the same.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your hot raw cacao, your new sweater, and the antics of the dogs with us for T this week.
