Hi eversimple,

It's a good thing I decided to peek in the personals section. I have only gone to this section twice. This is the second time. So nice getting to know more about you. I have always wanted to go to visit Australia. I don't think I can go there anymore though. I think they have strick rules about bringing dogs there. I knew some gals that live in Australia that I had planned on visiting but then they split there seperate ways and haven't heard from either of them for a few years now.

I had a bit of a set back yesterday and had to go to the emergency room for several hours. I have to be on a liquid diet for a few days then a baby style food for another few days and then maybe if things are okay with my delicate system I may be able to slowly add solid food back into my diet. Goodness! This diet is not easy. I feel so gosh darn hungry. Well, I have lost 10 pounds from being in the hospital. I am loosing more weight because of this strict diet. I needed to lose wieght any ways. I just didn't want to lose it because of being sick though. Oh well, might as well be grateful for losing the extra weight no matter how it happens.

The weather here in Seattle has been a bit strange. WE normally get rain periodically thoughout each week during the summer. We hadn't had much rain lately. I'm so happy a friend watered my garden while I was in the hospital. I would of been so sad that all my hard work would have gone to waste. The garden surely would have dried out and burnt with this strange heat wave.

So is it winter in your part of the world right now? Or is it all four seasons as you described? During the spring time in Seattle, Washington, US we tend to have all four seasons happening in a day from time to time too.

I will pray for rain for your area. It is terrible going through a drought season. Last year we had gone through a drought The previous year normally provides a large surplus of our water supply from the large amount of rain fall and snow fall.That did not happen. All the fruit trees would not fruit and it was hard to get a vege garden growing. This year has been wonderful. My friends say my flowers look like they are on steriods. Everything is blooming fantasticly. It looks like a little jungle of beauty. The first thing Cody and I did when we got home from the hospital was sniff the outdoors of the house. Me in my garden beds and Cody all over the grass, trees and bushes. We looked like little maniacs. Oh how we missed and craved the smells of home.

ha, ha, you are too funny eversimple.

Too bad about what is going on with the water shortage in Bendingo. That is alrming. Everytime it rains here I set out several rain barrels and as many buckets and containers to catch the rain to water my garden instead of using the water from my house. I try to be as earth friendly as possible. I truly believe in recycling and conserving. I even make my own compost for my garden and make my own dirt. Yes, maybe I may seem a bit nutty but I enjoy my simple mindedness.

That is great news eversimple. Did a rainbow appear after it stopped raining? That is fairly alarming that this whole day was the equivalent of the whole month of August rain. I shall channel my mind to the oceans and help them build some rain clouds in the atmosphere and have it directed towards your area. I hope it works. Get your rain barrels out so you'll have extra water for your lawn or anything you fancy to water when it isn't raining. It sure helps keep my water bill costs down.

Well I was going to add on to this message a copy of some of my amateur sketches of Cody. I decided to start teaching myself to sketch from a live model verses looking at a picture and drawing. Live models are a bit more challenging. Cody is a great model for me. He stays put when I give him the command. It's even easier if I sketch him while he is sleeping. Maybe some other time I'll be able to add it on to a message for ya. MSN is having problems right now uploading photos.I am right handed but I have found out recently that I draw better with my left hand. this makes sense since I am more left handed then right handed. I just can't write words very well with my left. Go figure?

Well Cheers to ya,

Irene Joe Bean

Sorry my dp

Well if you can ever get logged into myspace.com and make a free account then do a search for Irene Joe Bean. Click under my picture where it says Add to Friends. I will then give the okay to have ya added on so you can read my blogs. I placed a blog in there with my recent sketches of Cody Burger Gator just in case your curious or anyone else too.

There are all kinds of flowers still blooming in my garden. There are gigantic, White and Fuscia/purplish colored Dahlias, a bunch of different pansies, many different styles of bergonias, ground cover flowers, yellow and white roses, some lavender colored roses and pink, flowers popping out from my silver leaf foxes, flowers from my hostases, Hydrangea flowers and goodness so many more stuff. I don't even know all the names of all the other flowers and many bushes that also have flowers on them still. I buy new things each year but I forget to put name tags on them so I can't remember what the heck they are. Oh yes, impatiens too. All I know is that they are beautiful, colorful, bright, and they all make me smile.

My vege garden has gone absolutely wacky. The corn is just about ready to pick, the sunflowers are gigantic and blooming, I have a load of many different varities of tomatoes growing, my green beans are still growing, peas, zuchini, acorn squash, loose leaf lettuce, arugala, carrotts, many types of kale, purple and green cabbage, brocolli, kalarobi, bell peppers, jalapeno and habenero peppers, some strawberries, potatoes, scalions, onions, garlic, rasberries, goose berries and a whole bunch of herbs.

I just finished sitting in my vege garden to pick a bunch of veges for Cody, my friend's dog Sherpa and I to eat. Oh how we all love eating fresh organic grown veges. Absolutely delicious. There is plenty for you too eversimple.

Ha, ha, ha Deb,

Ya caught me with flowers and vege handed. I know I am not suppose to be watering my garden or playing in the gardens. I'm suppose to be a g"good girl?)" and relax and take it easy. But..but..but.. Boo.hoo,hoo! I was having serious garden withdrawals. I just couldn't stop myself. I swear it. ...kind-a swear it.. he, he, he.

Well all right. I shall make a compromise for the rest of the day. I shall read a book watch some k.d. videos and pet the doggies for the rest of the day. I'll also suck my thumb for good measure. How's that?

No worries Deb. Anyone is welcome to jump in the conversation.

Just in case neither you 2 eversimple or Deb have not read my blog on myspace.com

I shall rewrite some of my comments back here.

Those toads are so much fun. They are also k.d. lang fans. They are croaking one

k.d. song after another. They are all a bunch of princessy in drag toads. We are all

getting along fine. They have overdone theirselves. They have got me up dancing

shakin' and movin' to thier melodic croaks! It takes some fancy foot work though. I

don't want to smash any of them or my veges.
