Bike Update

Here's an update on the bike scheme: what a fabulous idea!! And I have decided that I do not need the Springer Dog Jogger device (a bicycle attachment for jogging your dog alongside) after all. Just tying her leash around my waist as we go is working out well so far. She loved it, and it was pretty fun. I saw a couple drivers smiling when they passed us (they may have been laughing, I don't know), I think it was probably kind of funny. A couple things- I bought her a harness today, as I don't like the thought of her neck getting tugged when I change directions suddenly. I also have to teach her how to recognize a verbal command for turning left and right, and to speed up and slow down. I think she'll catch on pretty quickly, and I think it would be safer than just hoping she's paying attention when I make a turn.

Overall, though, I'm pleased.

Also, my garden looks great. The peppers are blossoming, the lettuce is getting bigger, and the tomatoes are even taller now. The cabbage has new little leaves on it, and the radishes and beans are finally sprouting. Everything looks pretty good.

That's pretty much it.
