We have had a week of weeding, going to the beach and hand watering the garden. It has been hot and breezy, very pleasant. I found a bug clump of ink weed taken hold in a slip, otherwise nothing to report.

The dogs are loving going to the beach and both of them now enjoy swimming. Clary will even dog paddle off on her own.

Hagrid is now mostly keeping up with The herd and doing great job on the grass by the house. He even stands up to eat sometimes and Clary has learned not to herd him.

The llamas come up to visit most mornings and occasionally in the evening if they are thirsty. The cria are getting more daring and more comfortable with the dogs although Clary can get a bit edgy and snap or bark if she gets nervous and then has to be told off.
