Random shot from between the arches in the front porch area of New House.



It appears we have gained a new dog. This little one wandered into the yard of the New House yesterday, and since my family are bleeding hearts for strays mom feed her and she has hung out in the gazebo ever since.

She looks like an adult dog, most likely has had pups in the past if her teats are any indication. Very skittish; let me touch her briefly on the underside of her neck (after I squatted for like 15 minutes cooing at her lol), but once my hand went any further she jumped back. No collar, but her fur seems in good condition; I wonder if she was just dumped off like some people do. :(

× 1001 uses for distilled white vinegar. So many uses! It's definitely going to be my go-to product for cleaning. I hate using chemical household cleaners (and apparently even cleaning products like Green Works aren't so eco-friendly) , so knowing that I can simply use vinegar (combined with baking soda at times) to clean around the house makes me excited.
