whew!

It's been a busy weekend. My little dog Loki's surgery seems to be healing well. It was only Friday that we thought we were going to lose him, but Doc Margie worked her magic once again on this guy. He has a nasty looking incision on his belly, but she opened up his blocked intestine and sewed him back up. He'll be on antibiotics and steroids for a couple of weeks, but so far he seems to be doing well. Well enough that he and Jack got in a rather nasty disagreement this morning, with Jack coming out the worst - these dogs are making me old fast.
So...other than walking Loki frequently (which is good for both of us!), not much else got done this weekend. I did manage to weed 2/5 gallon buckets of weeds from the garden - where do they all come from?! We picked our first squash of the season, so far we've had 3 zucchini's, and 2 summer squash. I also picked the first green beans of the season, enough for dinner tonight, a half pint of blueberries (also the first of the season), and dug the first hill of potatoes which happened to be red pontiac's. It's a little early for digging potatoes, but we've got oodles of them planted and I hate to think about digging them all at once. And when I saw how many potatoes were in the hill, my back really aches thinking about digging them all :0) - we got 3.5 lbs. in one hill. Oh...and we picked peas again today, ending up with over 3 lbs. shelled weight.
