There has been so much rain that the flowers and plants either grew like stink or were drowned. Mom and I looked around the garden at the damage and growth earlier today.
Seems to us the Clematis, Alpine Willy decided to put a barrier of green along the front porch. Willy is indeed very happy with the damp weather. I hide in the growth and jump out at mom and Kali. I scare Kali every time. 
Kali should be out here helping me show you our garden. 
A close look into the house shows us that Kali is sound asleep on top of the condo penthouse.
Cow Kitty is grabbing a quick nap under the hose roll.
Everyone seems to be sleeping but me. I’ll show you more of the garden soon. *yawn*, time for me to have a nap too.
May you always find a treasure when you dig a potty hole.

If, you look in the front bed with the clematis, you’ll see a plant that’s standing tall. We call this plant the broccoli plant. No, mom hasn’t tried eating it but it looks like broccoli.

Hi Shoko! I like your game with Kali- bet she doesn’t think it’s a game! Mom and I played a fun peekaboo game tonight and I barked a lot and upset Piper. He didn’t think it was a game. It’s nice to see the sun shining there. *tail wags* Lexi

She probably thinks a dirty old tom is jumping at her, trying to flash her and then she sees its me and is ticked off….do you think she’d rather see the flasher tom? MOL

Obviously the key to growth is water. Everything grows better with water. I’ll get a glass of water and throw it on Kali and we’ll see if she grows any more!! MOL

I think Cow Kitty has it a little tense at his house with 2 human children under three. You’d think the mother of these kids would explain to the kids not to grab him. Cow Kitty backs away when mom goes to pat him. So he comes over here for a rest.

We haven’t had to worry about watering for several weeks. The sun can be torture when it keeps beating down. We haven’t had that problem this year so the only thing mom has to water daily is the hanging baskets. They are so root bound! Kali is sleeping on the arm chair and I’m thinkin’ bout charging around the Lane before the rain starts again. Keep cool Cuz.

Hot, hot weather is worse than cool weather. Remember, when you were saying the weather was too cool well, look at it now. We have not had warm weather but are expected to get it next week. Perhaps it will cool in Ontario then. We’re hoping thins get a little more back to normal.
