Our new raised garden beds are fantastic! I highly recommend the extra effort and expense. We have tomatoes of all sorts, cucumbers, squash, arugula (blossoms in 1st pic), spinach, basil, carrots, and onions. Every day is a garden adventure and not a chore at all; look at that view!
Sam, our red Border Collie, and Benny, our only male cat, love to garden with me. They keep me good company and hopefully chase away any slithery critters that may be lurking.

"There are nights when the wolves are silent, and only the Moon howls." - George Carlin
I've never stayed up for a lunar eclipse. It's high time!
So here I am at 3:00 a.m. with a tripod, a camera, and and audience of two dogs and four cats. I'm going to get some moon shots. The eclipse seems to go on and on, because of course, I am so sleepy. The hardest part is trying to keep the dogs from knocking over the camera and the cats from knocking over me.
I have to do this again, but I'm so not a fan of getting up in the middle of the night!
For those who are fellow photographer junkies - my old camera was on a tripod with an elderly, but good 400mm lens, a remote shutter release, and my settings were f/8, ISO 100, shutter speed 1/200.

"I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive." ~ Gilda Radner
These two pups bring so much joy into our lives. I can no longer imagine how my life would have been without them in it. Border Collies are a special breed, so darn smart! These two are no exception.
Gracie (black and white) will be 15 this year! She's amazing and the most loving dog you will every meet. She is terrified of thunder and fireworks, but loves a stick.
Sam will be 10 this year. He's always been a bit quirky, but the best boy ever! He's scared of children - go figure. He can handle a bit of thunder, but doesn't like it. He loves to cuddle with me, while Gracie is a Daddy's Girl.
As we go into the new year, I am thankful for every minute I'm in their presence.
