| Dinner with mom & Ron |
Lovely weekend, cool and partly cloudy, perfect for yard work. We got about 1/4" of rain but could use a serious thunderstorm right now as everything is getting dry. Lawn looks fabulous, the flower beds are done, and just some pots left to plant. I even planted the alley this year because I'd like to earn an Alley Garden award. If the neighbor would stop backing her truck over the flower bed it would be a little easier though!

| Reebok & Ron |
Need to decide how to set up the basement for puppies, and what to use as a whelping box. Generally it's a cardboard carton reinforced with a lot of duct tape. It's hard to find them for free, but suitable boxes can be purchased from a place that provides shipping cartons of all size, some of them double-walled and very sturdy.

| Illyodon cortesae |
New fish arriving this week, Illyodon cortesae, an endangered goodeid from Mexico. I found them on Aquabid, got them for a reasonable price, and selected 6 fry rather than a pair as I like watching young fish grow up. The Empire Gudgeon lost her mate, so she will be giving up one of the planted tanks and the little goodeids will move in there. The Gudgeon will move to the widow tank that contains singleton fish or those I am no longer trying to breed. I have a small widow tank and large widow tank, since some of the larger ones would EAT some of the smaller ones!
No time for proofing, hope this reads well enough!
