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

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

daisies and dogs are taking over

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
