Dog Park Love
Good news, people: an off-the-leash dog park has opened in Memphis! Yesterday, during my daily read of online newspapers I caught a story about a new dog park. We've grown accustom to driving out to Shelby Farms or Bartlett to the off-the-leash dog areas. 
This new park is right behind the Board of Education {less than 5 minutes from our house}. As loyal park visitors this is a dream come true. The park is 1.5 acres and has a separate area for small dogs. We opted to visit on opening day early in the morning. 
When we arrived, I took Gunther to the small dog area and Peter took Lily to the main area. There was a small opening day rush in Lily's area but Gunther's area was fairly empty. After 20 minutes in the small dog area, and some desperate pleading from G., I opted to take Gunther into the larger area. 
He loved it. So did Lily. 
We stayed for over an hour since the crowd thinned out. For most of the time, the only dogs at the park were ours and their new friend Marlo. They ran around, played fetch, checked the perimeter, and eventually lay around, exhausted.

Container Garden
This summer I opted to grow a small herb garden. Originally, I had a bit of basil, lavender, and rosemary in the same container. In no time at all the basil grew wildly and started to suffocate the rosemary. As a result, I had to get a couple more pots so I could separate the herbs. But there was trouble.
When Peter and I moved into our house there was a dead black walnut tree in the back corner of the yard. We cut it down and have not made even a lackadaisical attempt to remove the stump. For one month, the herbs sat on the stump. The only issue, and it was a big one, was the dogs. It became obviously that the herbs could not thrive in peace on the stump.
So we got some rings to mount the plants on the fence. 
And now everyone is happy. 
{I like the plants on the fence so much I'm going to exand my container garden to include 4 more mounted pots later this week}.
