Camera Critter Saturday

Quasi-Boy makes such a nice soft pillow.

Camera Critter Saturday

Nap Time! I love the face of an old dog, Quasi Boy the boxer has the most beautiful gray face. He is 11, that is old for a boxer. He still has lots of play left in him. He is a joy to have around. Erin is almost 7, Rosie is almost 2.

Camera Critter Saturday

This is my first post for Critter Saturday, the first 3 pics were taken last week at the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, IA and the last photo is my sweet Quasi Boy and Rosie O'Grady.

Lazy Sunny Afternoon

I took these pictures Saturday or Sunday, can not remember which :).

Bee, Boxer and Cavalier

Just wanted to share a couple of pictures of my gardening buds.

July 15th, 2002

Today marks 5 years since I lost my best friend..................Jessi Belle will live forever in my heart. She had Cushings Disease, we tried really hard to save her but it was not meant to be. She would have been 10 years old the following February. She was my shadow, I still miss her, she was a special dog.

Tired Garden Helpers

I think they wanted to come inside and take a nap.......lol..........

My Iowa Gaden in January

In case you are wondering who is in the picture, that is Quasi Boy one of my constant gardening companions. He was adopted through Midwest Boxer Rescue. He did not have the greatest life before but is quite happy now. He has a large scar around his neck from someone letting a collar grow into his skin.

Well, we did get some snow but not much, 3 inches is the official total. Not nearly enough to give me a good excuse to stay home from work for a snow day.

I mentioned that I placed an order with Select Seeds this past weekend, I ordered some Martagon lily bulbs, lilies happen to be one of my favorite garden plants. I read an article in a magazine some time back singing the praises for this particular lily also mentioning that it does not mind partial shade and even thrives in the shade. I hesitated to order the bulbs for spring planting because fall planted lilies always do better for me but I could not pass them up.
