Jonquils in Full Bloom

Jonquils or daffodils under the lamp post in our front yard are in full bloom. They are bright yellow and so cheerful, every time I come home from somewhere I feel like they are greeting me home with a big smile. I just smile back.

A little visitor enjoys the view from the dogwood in our front yard.
Best seat in the house!

My Dog's Breakfast Rituals

Our dog and his friend had a fight during breakfast one morning. Ever since then, our dog can't eat his food without some odd rituals. He stares at his bowl, growls at no one, and he appears to be ready to fight even if there is no one around his bowl. We have been separating the two dogs during chow time now, but he's still acting really odd.

Common interest: food

You can see that our dog is very stiff and guarded in this video, appearing to be getting ready to jump on someone. But there is no one around him. 

He is ready to rumble! Anyone? Anyone?

How can anybody be afraid of her?

Pruned Knockout Roses

It should've been done long ago.... I finally got around to it. I pruned the knockout roses down to a foot or so. When we got these bushes, they were lanky and I wasn't sure if they would last. Turns out they are pretty hardy. Roses tend to be difficult to grow, but these are carefree. 

I saved these little leaves.

Be careful guys, they're prickly!!

Sniff, sniff

Daffodils under the Lamp Post

We planted a bunch of daffodils, or we call them around here jonquils, under the lamp post this winter. Luckily most of them survived from squirrels and made it to spring. It will be a nice accent under the lamp post when all of them bloom.
