Let's take this show on the road!

So, if you were an Airedale and you had 3500 lbs of flagstone, what would you do?

Grab your sister and your crew and go to work at the beach!

We have to stop on the way and pick up plants and compost.

Here is the yard before....not bad, but the customer wants a veggie and herb garden and no grass.

So we built some veggie boxes, that she will fill up with leafy greens.

And a drip system to all the plants.

We built an herb circle, that she will fill up with culinary herbs and pretty flowers for cutting.

There is a place for firewood and garden tools.

And a place for tired Airedales to sit.

This project took one week.

We did have some fun at the beach too, so tune in for my fun with Stanzie in the surf and my night on the town!

The List

My mom has been working too hard.

She makes all these lists and she says she can't play with me until she gets everything done on the list.

This is what I think of the list!

I declare it's "PLAY TIME!"

An Orchard Wedding in June

Pictures from our Nephew's wedding in Hood River, Oregon.

Parkas and turtlenecks were all the fashion on this chilly Saturday!

Not a raindrop in sight. 

Congrats to Jimmie and his lovely bride Katrina.

Pioneer Plants

I love heirloom plants. 

They smell good!

They are hardy!

They taste yummy!

  

I'm just an old fashioned dog!

Do you see what I see?

Follow me, I have something to show you!

It's over here, around the corner.

Inside this Climbing Hydrangea.

Look! Babies! 

I promised mom that I wouldn't bother them....Stanzie, did you hear what mom said?

It's almost like being there!!

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show, is the most famous flower show in the United Kingdom, perhaps the world. The first Royal Horticultural Society 'Great Spring Show', was held in 1862. In 1912 the show moved to the grounds of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea and has been there since. Only taking a break for WW1 and WW2.

We were not one of the lucky attendees, but our UK furiend Molly sent her mom with the camera!

Thanks for the pictures Molly, it's almost like being there!

There were tropical delights.

And scary carnivores plants..

It looks like a smorgasbord of prickly cookies...don't eat the cacti!

Yes, we need to plant more daffodils this fall. So many wonderful varieties.

And while we are at it, we need to plant more Alliums too.

Stanzie has always liked Alliums!

I wonder if we could cover the whole garage in moss?

Ideas for our next path.....how hard could it be? 

Maybe we could cover our garage in stone...how hard could it be?

Maybe not comfortable, but artsy!

You can never go wrong with white!

It's okay to play with your food, before you eat it!

Thanks for sharing your pictures Molly.
