Gary?

I went to a dog rescue place the other day, and they had an elderly chihuahua named Johnson - not sure if it was because his dick was constantly out or not, but there it was.

Thank you for my new Signature. Took me 7 years to find something good enough

Moving into our new home in Santa Fe tomorrow. After almost a year and a half of living in staged homes, moving things into storage, living in two temporary rentals, it will sure feel good to see our stuff and be settled, at last. Best of all, Santa Fe just gets better every day.

I was irritated at buying a new washer/dryer, but I must say having the timed wash function is pretty great. I love walking in the door after work with the laundry finished. Also, having the washer run with my dress shirts in it in the wee hours of the morning to be hung when I get up and ironed when I come home is very convenient.

Would anybody happen to have a good rec for a gardening clog? I think I got a toenail fungus from the nubuck slipons I've been using -- they're always damp. Am leaning toward the EVA version of Birkenstock Bostons because they come in narrows. Their regular gardening clogs only come in the normal width and seem like they'd be heavy. Crocs? Sloggers?

2nd year in a row my topiaries are dying. First year was Eugenia's which I realize are not outdoor tolerate in the cold. This year was Dwarf Spruce.

The only thing I haven't killed are Boxwoods around my place. Am I doomed for a Boxwood topiary? Someone help me out.

@emptym Just throwing this out there but what about wool socks and sandals or not practical?

^I do wear flip flops when it's warm, but when it's colder I'd like something that covers the front of the foot, particularly when it's raining or if I'm watering.

Work boots?

Have you been playing footsie with edinatlanta? If so, there's your answer.

Spoiler: Not for the faint of heart... I warned you!

^Eek, mine's not quite that bad. Just a bit of yellowing at the corner of one nail. First time I saw nail fungus was Micheal J Krell's dad, when I visited them in Omaha. He said it was from farming and was incurable. I think he had it on just about all his fingers and toes.

@patricbooth, laces are too much work for the brief but frequent times I'm out there.

Got home from holiday and there are still roses in evidence -- indeed in profusion -- which means the new deer fencing and irrigation are both working. This pleases me.

Anyone have a good online source that they like for bulbs? Gonna attempt to plant alliums all around the house.

Moved furnishings into our new home yesterday. Now the insurance claim process begins as a number of listed "High Value" items came off the truck unwrapped and damaged. This should be an interesting process.
