Summer Will Soon Be Over

WE CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SUMMER IS JUST ABOUT OVER!  IS IT REALLY MID-AUGUST OR ARE GREMLINS MESSING WITH OUR CALENDAR??

Mom grows tomatoes and lots of flowers!  The veggies are all grown organically; no pesticides & only organic fertilizers

I GUESS FALL IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND THAT MEANS OUR DAYS OF PUTTERING IN THE GARDEN AND PLAYING ON THE BEACH WILL SOON BE OVER.

I love to lounge in Ma's garden, it's so cozy!

WITH ALL SUPER HOT WEATHER WE'VE BEEN HAVING IN THE NORTHEAST AND ALL THE HEAT & HUMIDITY WE'VE HAD A RECORD NUMBER OF STAYING INDOORS DAYS.  IT WAS JUST TOO DARN HOT TO GO OUTSIDE & PLAY!

I love these pretty flowers, they're SO tall!

OH WELL, WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST OF THE LIMITED SUMMERTIME FUN WE HAVE LEFT.  HIGH ON OUR LIST IS ONE MORE ROAD TRIP AND POSSIBLY GETTING AT LEAST ONE OF US OUT ON THE WATER IN SOME KIND OF BOAT.  THAT'S BEEN A GOAL OF MOM'S FOR QUITE SOME TIME, LET'S SEE IF SHE ACHIEVES HER GOAL THIS YEAR! (We're betting No, we are so NOT the canine versions of Michael Phelps, LOL!)

Beautiful Springtime flowers near our former home in Arizona.

WE WILL SOON SAY GOODBYE TO SUMMER AND HELLO TO  THE BEAUTY OF FALL!

No too many more beach days for us.  They'll be replaced with romping in the leaves instead of on the beach!

 Are you sad that Summer is almost over, did you do all the fun stuff you wanted to this Summer?  What's left on your Summertime fun Agenda?  Leave us a comment & share, we love hearing from you!

Cool Your Dog Off With The Cool Pet Pad Self Cooling Mat!

The Dog Days of Summer have certainly been upon us haven't they?  We've had SO much hot weather and high humidity in the Northeastern U.S.  With a Siberian Husky, I'm especially mindful of her becoming over-heated, particularly when there's high humidity.

I've always wanted one of those cooling mats for dogs to help my active Husky stay cool on those hot Summer days.  I was delighted to have the opportunity to review the COOL PET PAD Revolutionary Self-Cooling Cushion, from The Green Pet Shop.

I wanted a cooling mat I didn't have to plug in, add water to, freeze, or do anything to make it cool.  I wanted to just put the cooling pad on the floor and have it start cooling my pet down right away.
