They purposely had me thirsty...

I'm accidentally awake too early.

I'm accidentally awake too early. SUPER thirsty. Can't eat or drink anything until after my CT scan in a few hours (I moved it from Wednesday to today).

I can go days without food, but water is LIFE. 😫

Look at these dogs:

Look at these dogs:

Construction Bear and Supervisor Cub have been working hard today.

Cub is really good at observing from a distance when we're busy... but Bear is up in EVERYTHING we do. 😂

We got the top and sides put on the greenhouse today.

There are paw prints and scratch marks on a few of my brand new walls. (It's fine - it has character now.) When Shaun was up a ladder stretching to screw in some screws, Bear stood up against the wall, too. When Shaun climbed the ladder, Bear walked through the bottom rungs. When I was grabbing the nuts to the bolts that Shaun was screwing in, there was a purposefully placed paw in the parts box. When Shaun went to look out of the window, Bear followed like "What are we lookin' at?"  😂😂😂

I've had dogs who are interested in what we're doing, but never one as interested as Bear and certainly never one who seemed to try to imitate our moves like he does. He's so interesting. We love him to pieces. I am so, so thankful that Shaun has so much patience for this pup (and all of the animals, really).

I could've had a ton of cute photos of Bear today, but I was helping on breaks from work and I know that Shaun is sore and tired of working on this greenhouse. We just buckled down to get as much done as we could.

We need to do the straps over the top and attach it to the ground. We also need to finish the floor and get some shelves set up. Then it'll be ready for my plants! 😁

I think I missed my Monkey Tail bloom.

I think I missed my Monkey Tail bloom. Also, I've missed this other cactus bloom - again. It bloomed twice this year and I didn't see it either time. 😒

Shaun has been slowly but surely building this greenhouse. Today he got a good bit done because it was cloudy and cool. It just rained, so he's done for the day. We have both ends/doors up; maybe the top/side pieces won't take too long. Hopefully, we'll have it pretty much done by the weekend.

Also, here is a rainbow.

Bear, making his rounds and checking on me: "What doin?"

I love this goofy child. His face just makes my whole day. I got some sweet, toothy kisses, too. ❤️

I don't think I could ever go back to not working from home. My life is infinitely better because I get to be here with the ones who love me. The short breaks to pet a kitty, cuddle Cub, and kiss Bear's lip are the biggest perks. ❤️❤️❤️

My sweet Shaun has nurtured this poor cactus to death.

My sweet Shaun has nurtured this poor cactus to death. I didn't know he was watering it every morning.  😳 He showed it to me yesterday and I had to break it to him that it was rotted.

We chopped the green pieces off. They're disinfected and drying. I guess we'll see if we can propagate new plants from those.

He dug up the rest and threw it away.

All the other succulents we planted in the yard are doing well. Most of them have drip irrigation going to them. They're nice and fat for winter. We're gonna decrease the water to the plants slowly through this month and next to prepare them for the cold weather.

I think the main problem with this one is that it's a clumping type and he was watering from the top and water was getting into the crevices where it couldn't evaporate easily.

Poor plant. Sweet husband.

Bear, astonished to learn...

Bear, astonished to learn that he's not allowed to chew the shoes while they're still on our feet. 😂😂😂
