Roaring

Wednesday, May 17, 2023

This is a brief hello since I must clock in by 7 a.m.

If you still are curious about whether I’ve managed to corral my escapee puppy, Chase, the answer is nope.

Over the past two days, my housemate and I heightened the fence that surrounds the dogs’ area. Now, most of it is about eight feet high with new fabric wired to the old. Last evening, Chase searched for a break and leaped at a six-foot spot. His paws caught the top, and he casually vaulted over. In freedom, he romped in circles, a picture of tail-wagging happiness.

Today, at HD, I’ll pick up more rolls of fencing, and this afternoon will resume attending to the fence.

A quick change of subject and a dumb question: Are you tracking what’s going on in Ukraine? Has its long-awaited counter-offensive really begun?

When I was a kid, there was a popular movie entitled, “The Mouse That Roared.” Its lead actor was Zero Mostell. Anyway, these days, relative to Ukraine’s determined combat against Russian aggression, that title remains foremost in my mind.

Go, Ukraine!

Dear Friends: And, go me, Roaring! In an orange vest labeled “waterer,” to save too-dry plants. Diana
