Ozzie & Herbal Garden - both growing like weeds :)

Hi - -

Although the fires have been devastating in our area - I think it's time for happier news. I am growing an indoor Herbal Garden and it's growing like a weed. We get excited every night to see how it's doing and I swear, you can almost see it growing.

Then there's our beautiful Oz-dog. Wow, he's grown up to be quite the companion. Very gentle, sweet and something we didn't experience with our loving Golden Retrievers - - HE IS SMART!!! Now, I'm not putting down Goldens, because I have been a fan of them for years for anyone with young children and anyone who wants a very good dog - - but somehow (with Oz) we got a Golden with personality, spunk, and a little (not much) more aggression than a Golden. We kind of like that at our stage of life.

Anyway - here's the pictures. (above) - - Fire update: EVERYTHING MUCH BETTER TONIGHT (or so I thought, until I went out in back and saw smoke and smelled it BADLY for the first time) - - Casey has reported that they lit back-fires so the fires go up the canyons from Orange County and then the weather would take care of the rest- - but, I (first hand) can tell you they're headin' into Corona. But, this fire would have to burn through alot of expensive houses before it ever got to ours, therefore, I think we're safe.

Enjoy the pics. Love, Teri
