Mr. Beane :)

 

 

Meet Mr. Beane...

 



He's my other little baby...well, really he belongs to my daughter, but he spends a lot of time with me.  So much that when she tried to take him up to her room to go to sleep last night he snuck back downstairs to sit in my lap and watch some television...

He's getting ready to have his first birthday in April (they grow up so fast...)

He adores food, especially whatever you might be eating and will even stand up on his back legs for long periods of time in hopes of getting a small smackerel. 

Harvey - aka "Bubba Dog"

 

I am a dog person.  I love all animals really, but dogs have a special little spot in my heart <3.  This is my sweet old baby...

 



 

Harvey!

 

 

He just turned 12 years old this past February.  Look at that old man face!  We've had him since he was a wee little puppy with big gawky paws and just look at him now...a big ol' Bubba dog.  He doesn't do near as much as he used to.  You throw a ball for him now and he just looks like 'Nah, I'll let you get that'.  There's no more digging or jumping.  Just lots of laying around and waiting for bites of your sandwich...but he's a sweetheart with big expressive brown eyes!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

 

Don't look at the grass by the fence...or do, I guess.  I mean, it looks about the same as my garden bed...

 

 

 

Bare...

 

I do not have a green thumb - at all.

 

But I want to learn soooo bad.  So I decided to try (again) to plant a garden.  I pulled weeds, planted seeds and I'm even trying some compost buckets.  I picked up these little trash cans at the dollar store and cut off the bottoms.  Then we buried them in the ground and put fruit and veggie remnants in the top so the little earthworms can get them from underneath.  We'll see if it works.  I do think the little squirrels that like to run our back fence enjoy them because there is one that is always empty the next day...

 

Now, if I can just keep the dogs from chasing each other through the beds, maybe we could get somewhere!
