The week of July 5-11
The Walla Walla sweet onions that were pulled last week were dry enough to trim and weigh this week. They came in at 15 1/2 pounds. That makes more than 42 pounds of onions from two bunches of plants that cost a total of $2.78. Not a bad return on that investment, and there are still a few small onions left in the garden. We'll be eating them as fast as we can, as Walla Wallas are not good keepers.

It's still scorching hot here. I think it was 99F today, which was somewhat better than the 104F we had on Friday. I was cleaning out Cookie's cage this morning, when the dogs decided to "play" with him. They tend to get a bit rough, so play time has to be under close supervision. Neither Annie nor Otto will go near water, other then the bathtub. Sprinklers are scary things that make dogs melt, and so are raindrops, so imagine how surprised I was when Cookie took off across the lawn, through the sprinklers, with Annie and Otto right behind him! All three animals got a good soaking, which probably felt pretty good in this heat. Cookie looked more like a drowned rat than a rabbit! He finally hid from the dogs in the pile of raspberry canes I hadn't yet disposed of, I got the sprinklers turned off, and Mr. Granny rescued him and returned him to his cage.
He's not looking terribly thrilled about it, is he?
