Life Among the Tall Trees: March 2008

First Day of Spring

Happy First Day of Spring! We are definitely seeing signs of spring around here. Many of bulbs we planted are blooming.

Asparagus tips popping through the weeds in the garden. We have lots of weeding and planting to get started in the next few weeks.

Earlier this week - Miss S on St. Paddy's Day. She added the bow herself.

Spring Preparations

We are busy this time of the year getting ready for spring.

Dr. D getting some burning done here at our house with some help from Joe.

We also did some burning at Grandma & Grandpa H's property. Grandma and Miss S watching the burns.

Dr. D and his Uncle George.

While out for a walk Dr. D found something in his pants.

Yes, he found a western fence lizard.

Grandma I. came up to celebrate her birthday with us and enjoy some time with Miss S.

The work on replacing the shower pan and tile finally got underway after a couple of months.

We got to meet and play with little cutie, Maya.

A Mini Vacation

We had a mini vacation from Kylie or actually we could have gone on a mini vacation for the cost of her emergency vet bill. This picture is not for the queasy. Kylie was in the barn around our wood pile and somehow snagged her skin and some muscle on a piece of wood. She had a huge hole near her shoulder. Of course it happened on a Sunday afternoon, so off we went to the emergency clinic. She ended up with quite a few stitches and a drain.

There is the stitched up dog. I opted not to post the close up.

Since we had already spent so much on this injury. Dr. D decided to remove the drain and stitches himself with some help from his dad. She is all healed up now and back to her normal self.
