Between construction and organization, the blog has taken a short hiatus. Some day there will be no major construction project occurring at Regalridge. Our Ken promises that future. Silly Lee thought things had stopped at the end of this week. Apparently not. Trip organization is a major undertaking with hunting and gathering occurring to shore up supplies for the weeks away. There will be sufficient dog food to create a run on it in the Halifax area. Maps are packed and files made. Linda advises that weather in Virginia is cooling in anticipation of the arrival of the northern contingent.
The kennel is full of Regalridge girls and Piper is leading an uprising. To say that she is not impressed may be the annual understatement. Riley, on the other hand, is in ecstasy. He communes with each of the girls, offers his best Welsh wag and bow and is thoroughly enjoying the company. Ceilidh is doing well in her Wheaten way. Lucky Lab has met and is enjoying Rocky and Marilla. He enjoyed their company and is very collegial.
The weather has been fabulous and the house dogs are highly resentful of those construction vehicles in the driveway. When the vote is taken next year for projects, there is a suspicion that Our Ken will be absent and his vote given to Piper or Marilla. Clem was in residence until last evening (late) when Chantelle blew through and collected her tribe. Prior to that, Clem led the ins and outs, ran into every truck on the property with a highly insulted 'hmph' emitted each time. And since Our Ken was painting the pickets, she went home with racing stripes - zebra-ish in her own way. Could be a whole new concept. Lee is considering blue - perhaps Scout would like that while Chantelle is away. And of course, the Welsh girls were in residence. Jessie is well and truly pregnant and mellow for a girl named Jessie. However, Viola has picked up the mantle and shared her thoughts freely. Not a bad thing she is going to Montgomery with Chantelle. The puppies are well and happy. To this point with the good weather they have had long days outside on their deck. Many games have been developed and tested, several making the grade and resurfacing on an hourly basis. They get cuter by the day and have a zest for life that perhaps is able to be patterned by the rest of the population.
Dinner on this night was back ribs with scalloped potatoes, fried peaches and asparagus. A favourite of Our Ken that brought minor accolades - those who know him can fill in that blank. Dinner the evening before was fried ham with potato scallop, fried apples picked that afternoon from the Regalridge orchard, fried green tomatoes and squash from the garden. Darrell's favourite Regalridge meal. There was home made ice cream and the ubiquitous squares.
