I mean the poor innocent groundhog was only sunning himself BY THE GARDEN. Good dog.
All groundhogs must die.

What?! 59?!!! WTF?! How did that even happen? We were up early…for some definitions of “we.”
Maybelline is now 2.
Fresh squeezed orange juice and espresso in bed. Luxury at home.
This wrapping material looks familiar.
It is hard to surprise someone with cinnamon rolls in the morning, because the delicious aroma pervades the house.

Maybeline is a goldendoodle and goldendoodles have curly fur. This does not mix well with wet snow. But Romey knows a trick…whisk the dog off! Genius.

It seemed like time for a show. And it was! We just had to ask.
So it was off to the Lee Arts Center to see what Emily Shepardson has whipped up as of late. We stocked up as usual.
Romey and Joan are scheming again.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, Maybe was making some art of her own. Or maybe it was just a mess.

We got home after two weeks out.
Tibia killed one of the porch pooping nuthatches (as a warning to the other six).
Moonshine killed one of the groundhogs eating the garden (as a warning to the other twenty-seven)
