From Nuts to Dogs

   
Fio has turned into a recycling nut. Not only does she drop her newspapers into the designated bin behind the Williamson County Sun office, but she's started using her H-E-B grocery bags in place of big garbage bags.

Clearing off Husband's desk--the one behind the couch, not the one next to his recliner or the one next to the stairs or the one upstairs in his office or the one next to his side of the bed--Fiorella was again reminded that, while she tries to be "a place for everything and everything in its place" kind of person, Husband was an "all over the place" kind of person.

Fiorella also cleared Husband's waedrobe of jeans out of the closet for delivery to "The Caring Place," leaving his suits and good slacks till tomorrow. His T-shirts and pullover sweaters, of course, will stay in the closet. As Fio discovered this winter, they fit her just fine.

Checking out the western driveway yesterday afternoon, Fio was pleased to see that the rock edging is holding out fairly well, but she ventured down to the dry creek and harvested some rocks to fortify a few weak spots. Now for the north side. It's important to patrol la entrada regularly because erosion can overrun any unsecured rock rim.

A QUESTION ANSWERED
     Remember that Fiorella wondered what dog owners in rainier climes do when Doggie needs to answer a call of nature during a heavy rain?
    "Well," friend Suzy informed Fio, "we put on our hooded raincoats, then unroll our large umbrellas, and hold them over the dog whilst she pees!"
     Now you know, and so does Fio. Of course, on the other hand, not all canines are inside dogs.
