Bringing up Bella

Wordless Wednesday 41 - Alfie, the original crazy dog

Wordless Wednesday 40 - My bliss

Hi all,Just popping in from not-exactly-sunny Florida to share a picture of something that soothes my soul: my garden. Hope you're all having a wonderful week and I look forward to catching up with everybody when I get home.

Wordless Wednesday 39 - Bella and the bees

Jan told me I had to post this in order to explain, at least in part, why Bella is afraid of flies. These are from summer 2009 and her first exposure to yellow jackets (an entire nest of them). While I wish it had taught her not to put her nose in strange places or dig in holes something else has already started that doesn't seem to be the case. The only lesson Bella really seems to have learned from the experience: buzz hurts.
