It's SPRING!

Proof that I can make things grow:
These are just a small fraction of the 150 or so bulbs Andrew and I planted last fall. This garden runs along the side of the garage and it's a nice bit of color as you approach our house.





Sunday was gorgeous. Amazing. Beautiful. Temps in the high 60's and sunny. So, after sleeping in a little, we took Raven to Alum Creeek Dog Park. It's north of Polaris on the other side of town. It's a drive, but we love taking Raven there. She's a big drama queen. She always gets 5 or 6 male dogs to chase her all over and then she lays down and I swear she laughs at them! I need to get that on video someday. In the meantime, here she is burning off energy she'd been saving since August.












It seems she forgot that she's a retriever and she needs to retrieve what we tell her to. A few rounds of "Get the ball" resulted in us asking a yellow Lab to fetch our toy. Raven would swim out halfway and come right back, wagging like she accoplished something. Good try Raven, but no cigar.

Raven in the backseat on the drive home. She's a tired pup.
