I’ve Lost Faith in My Neighbors

Sterling Silver bloom that was taken.

Ok, I still like my immediate neighbors, but there’s someone who walks down my SHORT alley that stole the most beautiful dahlia bloom, stepped on a bunch plants in the process and then destroyed my other Dahlia when they pulled it out of the ground and tossed it on the other plants. This very thing was happening in 2007 and I swore I’d never grow flowers (especially Dahlias) in the alley again. And here I am, four short years later thinking I can get away with tucking a couple Dahlias in the garden.

How can someone be so heartless?

Meet Our New Addition — Welly!

You may be wondering why I’m being so quiet this summer. Well, we got a new puppy a couple months ago and he’s keeping us mighty busy (along with our wonderful friends). He’s 3/4 Papillon and 1/4 Maltese/Yorkie. He was born on May 8, 2011 (Mother’s Day). We love him.

Of course, I had to name him Welly.

Welly and Moo Moo (Mickey) are best friends

He’s such a love he even gets along with the chickens — sorta. He and Licorice chase each other around the yard. I think they’re playing? It’s my mission to get a good video and post it online. Stay tuned.
