The Ever-fertile Fio Brain Strikes Again

Fio's neighborhood decided to hold a garage sale, the first one in the eight years she and Husband have lived in the area.  It was a long shot, but Fio added the mountain range in the north yard to the inventory, even sticking up a "FREE CEDAR MULCH" sign next to the driveway. Those huge piles  of cedar chips are a fire hazard and Fio and Husband cannot use all of the mulch themselves, much less spread it themselves.
 
No takers this morning, but when Husband went out around noon, a neighbor came by and said he'd take two pick-ups full and knew some other people who'd probably do the same.

Fio's luck is turning. Maybe she'll get a publisher after all.

Sundry Snippets

Fiorella's speech pathologist has advised her to improve her posture and keep her chin up, which is hard to do when Fio is always on the look-out for scorpions in the house and pretty stones in the driveway.

In a desperate attempt to reduce the mountain range of cedar mulch in the north yard, Fio is advertising it  as a give-away in the neighborhood garage sale.  She'll let you know if she has any takers.

Sweet Sonia is going to be taking private instruction at PetsMart to curb her aggression toward other dogs. Fio can't figure out what's going on.  Remember, Baby Dog received an award as "Miss Congeniality" from her puppy training class a year ago.  Maybe it's teen-age rebellion setting in.
