And it was all a ruse. That squirrel was only pretending to sneak into the house. What it really wanted was my bumper crop of jaboticabas, which is my favorite tropical fruit tree. Not this time buddy. Me and my trusty spaniel are here watching.
Speaking of dogs, we truly are in the dog days of summer right now. The heat is on, so make sure you are keeping yourself hydrated and, of course, don't forget about your plants. While this is rainy season, it doesn't rain every day for everybody. New plants need water each day in the morning to keep them happy and thriving.
