| Mama Finch feeding her fledgling |
While I have been posting about our April trip to France, a lot of love has been going around.....at least around our family. We have celebrated six birthdays, Mother's Day was spent with family in Booneville, and we just celebrated Father's Day with a family BBQ in our backyard. But more importantly......
My brother and I have found a great little rescue dog for my mom! She has named him Buddy and that's just what he is. He is sweet, cuddly, loves children, is properly house trained, doesn't dig in her garden or chew her shoes and insists on sleeping in bed with her! And when she gets out the brush to comb his soft coat, he lays there like he is having a Spa Day and wonders why she has stopped. Buddy is learning to ride in a car and walk with a leash.
Buddy is a mix of Bichon Frise and Halvanese. He is bonding with his new family (all of us) and learning to trust again. It's beautiful to watch this frightened little guy go from shaking in the corner to jumping into mom's lap and give her a kiss for taking such great care of him!
A few weeks ago Mr. B and I drove down to my parents cabin in Santa Cruz. After the long winter it needed a little loving care.
While Mr. B worked behind the scenes on fun stuff like the plumbing and clearing the leaves off of the roof, I got to do a little cleaning up and planting in the garden.
Now it is ready for summer fun!
