I Love Grandpa Ott!

Last year, I did not have much luck with the Mandevilla vines I planted in hopes they would cover the arbor over the deck fountain, so I decided to try my luck with morning glories again. I had saved seeds from the Grandpa Ott's I had planted the year before so I threw them into the fountain planters and hoped for the best. I also purchased a packet of mixed color morning glories for the planters on the new arbor we built in the spring.

This photo was taken about two weeks ago. The result of the Grandpa Otts is astounding! They have literally taken over the arbor and we can hardly see the fountain, although the lovely tinkling sound of the water is quite apparent.


By comparison, these vines from the purchased packet of seeds don't even compare to the heirloom Grandpa Otts.

This photo of a blob in the middle of the bed is our little helper. Every morning, as we are making the bed, Sluggo jumps in to help. It's quite a game for him as he loves to get under the covers and thinks we can't see him. He likes to play Peek a Boo with us.

Spike jumped up on the bed to see what that wiggling lump could be. What ensued had us laughing so hard we could hardly finish making the bed.

A good belly laugh is a great way to start the day.

Of course, little Sluggo keeps us entertained all day long. He's such a clown, quite unlike our majestic, dignified Spike.


Life is Good, and often, Fun.....
