We seem to be well into spring, it even got into the seventies today. Our daffies are blooming like crazy. We have started taking the shore walk for Benji’s noon walk and bringing a camera along. Benji seems to really enjoy it. We are looking forward to getting out on the water once the dock […]

The weather has just been playing with us. We got snow as an April Fools Day joke. I wasn’t laughing as I had to walk the dog in that sleety weather. Mother nature might play games with us but there are plenty of other signs of hope. The grass is greening up, there is birdsong

It is almost April and it really is beginning to feel like Spring might come after all. I put the dog’s warm winter coat into storage and he will get groomed on Tuesday. It is getting warmer and the sun is up longer. The daffodils are peeking up out of the ground and the grass

I had no intention of blogging again so soon. But two significant national holidays were scheduled so close together. Meg really wanted to celebrate Fat Tuesday even though there was no Mardi Gras parade this year. I guess we indulged a little just to help cheer everyone up. BOIDS Mammals Fun with Benji Just when

This winter kind of drags on, so when we get an excuse to celebrate we tend to go all in. We went wild on Valentine’s Day. I bumped into my hairdresser just before the big day. She told me that everyone was dyeing their hair red for Valentine’s Day. If I didn’t believe her she

I hadn’t planned on doing a blog until after Valentines Day. This week seems to be a week where not much goes as I planned. It is cold with off and on snow showers that keep me busy plowing the driveway. It was cold enough that even the dog didn’t want to go on a
