Visit with Jessica

My daughter-in-law Jessica was on the east coast

for training and was able to get up to Halifax

for a quick visit in March.

Pepper & Jess had plenty of play time.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No, it's Sean dressed as Superman!

The weather was really nice

and we were able to get outside and practice with Pepper.

Jessica helped Garland with Pepper's SAR training.

(Search & Rescue)

No, this is not part of SAR work,

more like a Ninja Warrior.

Is this what Jessica was practicing in Norfolk?

Taking a break from our walk in the woods.

Those things do not look comfortable!

Daffodils & Pets

The first flowers in my garden to bloom are the daffodils.

The squirrels do not like the bulbs,

I think they are poison to them.

I do not plant tulips because the squirrels

really like eating the bulbs.

The deer have been in the yard more this year,

since Emma is not around to chase them away.

The deer have been grazing

on iris greens,

hollyhock greens and

anything else that is tasty to them.

Darn those deer!

Pepper and Wilhelmina are enjoying

the afternoon sun and warmth.

They are not too concerned

about deer or any other rodents in the yard.

Everything greens up so quickly.

This garden will look different in just a couple weeks.

I know spring has arrived when the WEEDS take over!

Now that the weather has warmed up,

I can get outside to start cleaning up

the yard and flower beds.

First job is always the weeds!

It is always best after we have had some rain,

makes is easier to pull those stubborn fellows out.

This is just the beginning......
