As you can see the winds have been blowing, this is not some kind of camera trickery and honestly I can't say that I've spent a whole lot of time staring at the angle of this tree, but I'm pretty sure it didn't look like this!
It is true that April showers bring May flowers though, everything is coming together quite nicely.
Here are the peppers, tomatoes and strawberries we're trying this year.
And here is the herb garden, I plucked some today to make some fresh home made chicken soup for everyone!
This week has been a rough one, the Dojo is sick! All of us. Riley started it all off about 1 hour before the start of the Chicago concert last Saturday night. We cancelled the sitter, Krista stayed home and I went on to the show with our friends. Concert was good and the outdoor amphitheater at the http://www.fontanelmansion.com/ is a pretty cool place to watch a show. ZZ Top and Steely Dan are coming later this summer (not at the same time).
So.....what to do around the house when everyone is sick? Maybe we should take our boredom out on those in the family who are not sick, the puppies!!!!!
Mikka asked that I present for the record that she typically does not just lay around with her feet in a bowl pretending to eat food that isn't there.
Raimo also wanted to be on record, he was in fact not cold and he did not request a blankey.
You know Riley was quite proud of all her work disturbing the puppies, she's becoming quite the ham. Pretty sure that's Krista's fault.
The squirrels are getting braver! They have figured out which tree's they can outrun the dogs to and they've been hanging out on the deck a little.
