pumpkins

Thought I would try growing pumpkins again this year. Hopefully this rain today will help!

Swallowtails come to visit every summer and lay their eggs on my garden.
Dill, fennel and parsley seem to be the plants of choice.
They start out as an egg the size of a pin head, hatch to a black caterpillar with a white stripe and
get the nice color after a week of so. They eat their way through my herbs each year. When the caterpillars are munching on the fennel, you can smell the licorice scent of the plant a few feet away. They can eat a four foot fennel plant in a week.

Sky starts the day out with a smile. Little does she know what awaits her. A new doo is on the horizon

and she just found out a bath is part of the deal
now jane is here to give sky her new doo and she is not a happy camper
now jane is gone and sky is one glad dog

So long, farewell, auf weidershen......
The more we get together....

The happier we'll be
So long to Bandit. Katie Kate will miss you. Come back and visit some time!
I hope you enjoyed the "camp" series. The pups have had a great time this week and look forward to camping again next summer.

Day 7 at camp includes the nature walk. Katie is harnessed up and ready to hit the trail.
Camp must include lots of exercise to keep the pups busy, so off we go to the field. Deer, turtles and rabbits are everywhere. Let me tell you, when two terriers spot a rabbit in the field they take off like sled dogs in Alaska.
Let me at them!

Day 6 is pool day. No way, not going to happen, not getting wet! Bandit is not up for swimming.
Bandit had rather dismember a toy!
Katie Kate tries to tempt her but it is just not working.
