Come back

When I went shopping, this little nugget of cuteness was in the car next to me just howling away.  Not barking, just full out howls…must have been lonely.  But when I’d talk to him (or her) it would quiet down and just stare.  Grocery shopping is probably my least enjoyed chore so I welcome little disturbances like that.  On those quizzes or questions that ask would you rather have a maid or a cook…neither for me, I’d pick grocery shopper.

Pretty pests

Dandelions seem to be everywhere right now!  Last week I dug up all that were on our back property and yellow.  Two days later you’d never known I dug any up, there were yellow heads everywhere.  Driving around I see them everywhere.
