Had a lovely weekend… the in-laws are in town for a visit, so we have been enjoying spending time with them. The weather this weekend was beautiful, although perhaps a bit too hot. I took advantage of the nice weather and spent some time walking in the yard with Bella. There are a few flowers in bloom already. One of the interesting things about moving into a new home is that we’re not quite sure what has already been planted. Each day presents a new challenge (“I can name that flower in three petals!”) and often a pleasant surprise. Here are a few quick shots from the weekend:

| One of several lilacs in the yard – a VERY pleasant surprise, given that they are my favorite flower. |

| This little guy is all over the back corner of our yard… sadly, I’m not sure of his name. Anyone? |
 |
| I must say thank you to these hard-working ants – I can’t wait until the peonies are in bloom! |
All in all, a very nice weekend with family, enjoying the lovely weather. And if you’re wondering… we did make it to the Pet Fiesta. It was a fun time, although Bella elected not to take a car ride and go with us. It was a hot day for puppies to be outside (around 90 degrees), so Bella stayed indoors and took a nap. However, there were plenty of dogs in attendance (including many in need of homes. I can’t say it enough – adopt a rescue pup!). The pup at right had a novel way to beat the heat. I don’t know his name, but to me he will always be Joe Cool.
