Yard Work

ImageLast Saturday was a stormy-rainy day (five inches of rain when it was all over). Perfect for sleeping in and being lazy, listening to the new play list on the iPad... The great Yo-Yo Ma along with the one and Only George Strait, Joey + Rory, Andrea Bocelli and A Sleep At the Wheel. What music do you like to listen to... Go...

Sunday turned out to be beautiful. Time for some yard work. But first, we headed to Home Depot to pick out some plants and flowers.

ImageTomato plants were on my list, but Mom nixed that idea. Something about only one decent tomato last time and tons of creepy crawling bugs. Sorry Camp Director, no Tomato Contest this year.

Once at home, the plants were unloaded and we got busy planting my purchases.

ImageI even picked out some lettuce. FYI Puglet... I'm not hunting for what you think... I've never tried and won't let that stuff that you find so savory even come close to my pearly whites (eww, gross). I'm with your Human on this one. I'm sampling the lettuce & have to admit, when Mom wasn't looking, chowed down on the pansy flowers too... pretty tasty.

Gobbler's Knob

ImageShhh! Don't tell! I snuck out of the house on Groundhog Day. I didn't realize that the ground had hogs. My curiosity got the best of me and Had to see what this creature looked like and to see what all the hoop-la was all about. Destination - Gobbler's Knob to meet Punxsutawney Phil (say that three times fast). Arnie was worried about me traveling alone, so he joined me on the adventure. Whoo hoo! Sigh! Apparently Phil can predict when Winter will end. Something about a seeing a shadow.

ImagePunxsutawney Phil was summoned from his burrow in the old oak stump by a tap of a cane. Check out Phil's handlers top hats. Arnie & I thought thought they were going to pull out a white rabbit. Instead a brown, wooly-chubby cheeked creature emerged and looked for his shadow. Phil indeed did see his shadow, so this means six more weeks of winter. Yipeee! But Phil in all your cuteness, dude, you need a breath mint. Just sayin.

ImageMy friend, Payton was busy doing her own Groundhog Day research. Low and behold, she saw her shadow too! Seeing a shadow is good news to us... we are enjoying the unseasonably warm winter temperatures. If its warm now, Oh My Lands Sake, just think of the Pug melting temperatures the summer could bring.

ImageWhat a whirl wind trip with my Arnie. Thankfully I made it home just before Mom got home. When she walked in the door, I pretended to be asleep. Hehee, snort.
