Beautiful tulips!! I assume they're yours? I haven't had the foresight to invest time in bulbs, but maybe with the inspiration from my new-found gardening friends, I'll get my act together and start planting. Of course, I'll have to compete with the moles. And, if I plant in the back yard where the dogs are, I'll have to compete with Magic, my pup who likes to bite the buds off beautiful things just before they pop. Didn't see a peony this year . . . luck for him that he's so cute and perfect in every other way. LOL

Interesting fact about the catkins. I guess I was out from school that day.

Dogs and cats are all friends here, which is kinda weird since all my dogs are sighthounds. Here's Gemini (polydactyl calico kitty with mild cerebellar hypoplasia) sharing the dog bed with Magic. She just won't leave him alone and he's perfectly happy to cuddle with her. Silly, really.

Fall is certainly on its way. Here's hoping that Mother Nature will take it easy on us this fall and winter.

I'm thinking about investing in garden planning software this winter to take the chill off. It would be cool to have a diagram of the yard to chart my progress. We'll see.
