Buffy's Second Birthday

She was born on Ken's last day in the hospital two years ago. Still crazy, but a more mellowed version. We took her swimming, then back home for cake, ice cream, and gifts.

Baby grapes

Growing nicely

Raspberries in the driveway--animal cam is pointing there now

Sneaking a drink before her nemesis arrives

Hollyhocks are blooming, must be time for the dreadful japanese beetles

Evening Drive

I don't know how we've never been on this road before.  It was beautiful.

Bear

We'd just returned from an evening drive. Buffy hopped out of the car and we were walking around the house when I saw him. Amazingly, she ran immediately back when I yelled. He never even flinched when I yelled, just kept walking slowly across the yard and moseyed on down to the compost area.

Aluminum Foil and Bear

Knowing the area, there's a pretty good chance it's a Tin Foil Hat reunion

Middle of the day sighting

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Western New Yorkers would be much happier if there were more than 2 Mexican restaurants

Looks a bit nefarious?

Impossible to get her to sit still

Flowers, Dog, and Sky

Columbine

Peonies are just now blooming. This means imminent rain and wind will knock them down within 48 hours.  Happens every year.

Gave her a raw egg to see if she really is a soft-mouth dog. Dropped it on the sidewalk.

This was the oddest cloud. it's tough to see, but it was definitely multi-colored like a rainbow.
