Things are growing! I have transplanted the eggplants and various pepper plants. Jessalyn helped me and marked all the rows. I see the potato tops coming through too!
Tom surprised us Wednesday night. He had called me when I was in town and said he saw a "puppy" that was out in the Jumbo Woods, apparently dropped off. Of course I said, "Whatever...". This is no puppy! He looks like he may be golden retriever/St. Bernard. He isn't very old, and still losing baby teeth. eek!
So we gained a dog temporarily, but lost two yesterday, temporarily. The boys were out with me when I was doing second seeding when Jack decided to run. He has been going into a small area in the woods behind the garden and then coming right out, but yesterday he decided to go further in a blink of an eye and take Bob with him.
Rebekah and I took the talkies and walked the woods and road for three hours. Finally they came back, wet and stinky. Grr 
I found the key (at least it works for now) with the bread flour I bought. I was having a horrible time getting my bread to rise with this store bought flour that I got when it was on sale at the grocery store. We can't afford the bulk from the Amish store anymore as it is up to $20 per 25#. Gold medal had a sale two months ago for .50#, or 20# for $5. I picked up many and also got rainchecks. It was awful for a while and I tried everything. Finally, I added an extra egg and it seemed to work! We like our fresh bread!

I am glad you were able to use the flour you bought. The new dog looks so cute. I hope he works out for you.
