Three Kisses and a Wish - Week 6 Hot! Hot! Hot!

When you are constantly dripping with perspiration it is often difficult to think positively and find things to celebrate.

This is my third kiss to family and friends for St Valentines Day last Monday...The closest thing to a heart that I could discover here on the farm. 

Doesn't she look innocent?  This is Miss Mopsy, my golden retriever puppy.  She is going to grow into a loving companion but oh how I wish that she didn't have to lie between me and what ever I'm working on in the garden; that she didn't have to take my shoes into her favourite hole under the house; (We live in a low blocked house and recovery demands crawling in on hands and knees to retrieve said items) and that she'd forget her retriever instincts and not have to have chooks and ducks a flapping and squarking before she is happy!  She's learning  but ....
