Spring is Here Theoretically…

This has been the coldest/wettest spring anyone around here can remember. Normally it’s well into the 80s by now. Instead we have the 50s with rain. We did have tons of wildflowers, which have already died back. I’m a little worried about what all this extra plant growth will mean once wildfire season hits.

My garden hasn’t been doing as well as I would like. The potatoes I planted ‘after the danger of frost has passed’ are doing so terribly I might have to pull them out and replant once it finally warms up. At least this gives me more of a chance to enjoy my handknit socks and favorite sweaters.

Our ‘Working’ Dog

Several years ago I finally convinced my husband that we were ready for a dog. We had gone into a pet store during an animal adoption event and I fell in love with this ridiculous big eared creature. Lucy is my vicious guard beast, a fearsome lizard hunter, and cuddle monster extraordinaire. She also adores my daughter and considers her security to be her number one job. She weighs about 20lbs and stands just over 12 inches high.

I’m kidding about the working part. She’s super lazy.
