What Mommy found in the garden

Bella and Magpie
went out
in the garden
with Mommy
this morning
and this is
what we found.



Don't know what this is. We're calling it the lichen bug.


Fresh strawberries!  They look so good!  Mommy loves them!

 
What are these guys doing?  What are they anyway?

Pretty pink peony!

Inch worm, inch worm.  Why do they call it that?

This Silly Girl Went to a Baseball game - The Other Silly Girl Stayed Home

It seems the girlies have not been getting on the computer as much recently.  We finished another session of Agility. Both the girlies did well and in fact Magpie's great run at the last night of class helped pull her team into the win on the end of class game night.

At home, however, Magpie has been in proverbial hot water.  She needs to learn that if she wants to hang out in the front garden she needs to stick close to home and come when Mommy calls her.  Miss Bella, on the other hand, she is not quite the yellow shadow that Rigby was, but she does come when called.  Therefore, she gets to hang out the crazy, flower picture ladies.  See Rabbit Tracks blog for clarification.

This is all background for the title of today's post.  Tonight Bella came to see her boy play baseball.  What can we say, she didn't pay attention when he came up to bat.  She did have fun with Olivia who is the younger sister of one of the other players.  Olivia had fun getting ice from the cooler and feeding it to my girlie.  They are pretty cute together.

As for Magpie, will she learn her lesson and stick close?  I doubt it.

Fun in the Snow!! The Iowa Olympics

Magpie and Bella are celebrating their own Olympics.  This is short track chase.  There are no rules - leaping, biting, clacking teeth and jumping on each other are all allowed.
 Look at those great hackle rises and that wonderful form. 
It looks like Magpie has Bella on the run.
But in the end Bella pulled out a great finish!  Go Bella and Magpie!

Went for a w-a-l-k!

Mommy took us for a short walk today!

Still cold and snowy

Our boys had a snow day on Tuesday, so Mommy made them shovel.
I helped Eric.
He doesn't have very good aim with that thing.
Sheesh!  That took a lot of shaking to get the snow off.

Cold and Snowy in Iowa

Lot's of snow and cold, so why is he so happy?

Now, here's how to spend the evening on a cold and snowy day.  The cushions are kind of lumpy, but oh well.
