Today was a nice warm day and Grandpa asked me to water the grass and the dirt we threw on top of it yesterday.  I helped and found that Abby doesn’t like the sprayer on the hose.  Abby was on a long long rope Grandpa put together that Auntie Sam does not like.

But, Abby likes  it because she gets a chance to dig in lots of places, chase lizards and bugs, and eat grass.  I think Abby is the only dog that grazes like a cow.

I think the backyard grass will grow soon… I hope.
Right now, it’s a bit messy.

If you were wondering, “yes” my Grandpa made a contraption with a bucket and a pulley and some rope… and he has me learning things like weight, volume, leverage, mechanical devices like the pulley.

But at least I get to play.

He also showed me the light side and the dark side of the moon… and explained how that happens… as there was the moon out during the day in just the right position for one of Grandpa’s learning moments.  Then he said something about some “pink floyd” thing and one of the greatest concept albums that was ever made.

Whatever…

PS. I didn’t want to go home… so Grandpa said, “let’s run-away!”  We got as far as Ed’s house before Daddy came outside and told me we had to go… bummer

Since I was still wet from playing in the water outside, I had to wear some borrowed T-shirt and more from Grandma’s house.   One day I will tell you what the “more” was.  Nothing bad.  Grandpa said they didn’t fit any more.
