  1. It's too hot for me to even work inside. Yesterday, I cleaned the floors and sweated up a storm…in air conditioning. It's supposed to rain Sunday and I hope it does. Think I'll go out and stand in it!
    Hope the pups have calmed down from the fly invading their space. Poor guys.

  2. I had an old Labrador who was terrified of flies. This started as she began to suffer from senior dog dementia. Your African Daisy reminds me of my painted daisies, which I adore.

  3. Poor Charlie and Abi, so sad they are so frightened of that darn fly. I've always made my quilts by machine but I do applique by hand so I know what your mean about it being tranquil. I haven't sewed anything for the past three years and I do miss it but for some reason I just can't get back in to it. Gardening is my thing now but as you know too darn hot to do anything but water. Stay cool and be careful on that step ladder!

  4. Poor pups, one of my pups, Pisa hates flies and she will hide somewhere in the house if one bothers her. I cannot tell you how many times lately I have thought that she escaped only to find her 15 minutes later wedged under a bed or hiding in a closet.

    Take crd of yourself and stay cool.

  5. Not to be unsympathetic, but I just had to laugh out loud reading your account of their "fly fright." I can't imagine what exactly provokes their fear of that little insect. I do feel for them in their panic, though. Poor little pups. And it sounds like Charlie takes his cues from Abi. She leads the parade, right?

    Again, Brenda, superb flower photos! I think you could sell them online. I don't know how that works, but I bet you could find out. They are as good or better than the ones for sail on Wayfair. And this is from someone who's been a photographer all her life.

    Looking forward to seeing the other painting when it comes. Take care.

  6. I hate to tell you — but it's just as hot near the ocean, and the humidity is probably as high or higher. Yesterday it was 94%. You have to get OUT of the water to cool off! LOL!

  7. Poor pupsters! Annie is freaking out today. They are replacing roofs on all the duplex's and this morning were next door so she hid and now they are working on ours and she is hiding. They won't finish today and will be back at 6am to shingle. She will hide again. Poor girl!

  8. Poor pups—there are always fly strips to hang, but I've heard you can just hang a piece of duct tape to catch them too. Like Tania says, I've heard people swear by that baggie water too. I hope that bad ol' fly goes soon!

  9. Your flower looks like a osteospermum, commonly called African Daisy. They are cool season bloomers and tend to shut down in hot weather so I'm not sure why your's has started up again in your on going heat. Some shade during hot weather can help them start to bloom again. Poor pups, sounds like a trying day for them!

  10. I feel so sorry for Abi and Charlie that they are so scared of flies… it's the strangest thing! They have doggie-downer pills that would probably calm them (I have some for my dog for the 4th of July which terrifies him) but I don't know how often a fly gets into the house like that. I have read that a zip lock baggie with water and a penny hanging around the door would keep them out. Here's an article about it:http://animals.howstuffworks.com/insects/water-bags-repel-flies.htm

  11. Hello. That flower is an osteospermum, and also is called African daisy. Like the more common daisy, it is part of the aster family.
    I have a pot of the osteospermum too, and I've been hoping they would bloom again, but no such luck yet.
