Woad and Indigo Blog Crawl

How does a Blog Crawl Work?
???
How does a blog crawl work? What happens is come late Friday night I put up a list on my blog of all of the participating blogs in the blog crawl. Then those participants copy that list from my blog and post it to their blogs. This allows for the blog crawl, featuring Woad and Indigo, to go viral! There are many artists working with Woad and Indigo this month so I'm hoping that those who are will participate so that we can show the world the beautiful fabrics and fibers being dyed with woad an indigo!
Hope you participate as well.

Common Phlox
Common Phlox Phlox divaricata
Not worth my time collecting to use in a dye pot, any color it would yeild would fade in a matter of days, if not hours. The stems would yeild a weak yellow at best. But given the current extreme heat Iowa is experiencing it is one of the few plants that has survived in my garden without needing watering.

Oliver's Run Part Four
Oliver's run all 10x30x6 feet complete with a tree for, ahem, personal use. I'm on the look out for two more 12x6 panels for a total of 42 feet of running space, I can take it out as far as 46 feet. He loves fetching his kong, got shots in my knees today so never made it to the store for tennis balls.
Oliver's Run Part Three
No photo's tonight but the run is up and totally usable. It has two doors one of which John will repair this weekend, this door came from the gifted run and looks as if a large tree branch fell upon it at one time. Total space is 10x30x6 feet all of which he approved of for the 20-30 minutes he spent playing in it with John.
For those that keep emailing me freaking out that I plan to keep Oliver in there full time... what the hell do you really think of me? I mean seriously??? I'd no sooner leave him in the run unattended than I would a small child!
Dogs disappear in this community and a fairly regular basis, I could never live with myself if Oliver OR Angel disappeared. Hell four weeks ago the neighbors little white wonder that was left unattended in their back yard was taken by a red tailed hawk, you should have heard her scream for someone to call the police because a hawk had her dog. The only reason I knew about it was because Angel and I were sitting on the porch and watched the whole thing unfold, from four houses away.
This run is soley for the purpose for us, that's me and Oliver, to play in! John is setting up the pavers tomorrow so I can have a place to put my chair, this area was once a vegetable garden as recently as last weekend, and is quite soft. Plans are using the Nothing in Life is Free Training with ball fetching, which he adores, as a means to train him for other things. He rolls over on comand, but won't lay down on command go figure. He's sitting 90% of the time on command, and sorta knows heel.
More later.
