daisies and dogs are taking over
Posted by FJ and G on Thursday, April 19, 2007 10:02 AM

daiseys, an annual, have self-seeded from last year's crop and are spreading. They are the green plants in the background off to the left. Some have even taken root in the ballast. While I prefer "scale" plants, I just can't seem to get enough of these daisies; they are so cheerful when they open up in the late spring and early summer. They look terrible when they die off in mid summer so I removed them last year; but apparently, the seeds must have dropped before I did.

 

As for the hound, she seems to think this pulpwood is tootsie rolls. Every few minutes she removes one for chewing. I guess she enjoys logging operations

Your photos always make me smile. Your logs look just the right size for dog toys!

Coat the logs with Tobasco sauce. The dog will leave them alone!

Ha!  That's funny.
