The Smell of Soil

and dirt under your nails... ahhhh springtime

refreshing fountain and orchids

path with the beginning of irish moss meandering

my shadow

who loves the new bark

newby vegies and herbs for summer feasting

and the approval of the supervisors!

Good Golly Ms. Molly

We're in love, we're smitten. Last week Bill and I traveled to Los Olivos to collect a new family member. There have been no posts as of yet about the fabulous Ms. Molly because we wanted to make sure she was willing to put up with us.

I wasn't certain that adopting another pooch was in my near future, perfectly content to be a one dog family for a while. Bill however came across an ad for Molly on Craig's List while looking for tools in the "farm + garden" section. He sent me a link, as he does many days when trolling for puppies on the internet, and was surprised by my response "should we go look at her?" And so we did and fell head over heels.

Molly is 3 1/2, just one year younger than our sweet Skye. She's trained and sugar sweet natured. What more can I say... look at that face. She's a beauty queen. We are all getting settled and learning how to commune together in harmony. It's going well so far!

and SOMEONE doesn't
seem too worried about making herself right at home.
