Very funny FD.

Does Chrissy have a dog; or is he waiting for it to fatten up before sticking pins in it? I mean, it almost looks as if the dog is loved and loves back.

Ah well, Spring has sprung indeed. Lunch was a sandwich out in the garden with Walnut washing herself in the sun. And I saw something rather unusual, an earthworm briefly breached the grass, took a look around, then dived back down again. The sun affects all of us. 🙂 🙂 🙂

September 1st is a faux start to Spring. Equinox is 21st or thereabouts. Tony Jones clearly hasn’t read his Steiner. Pinched the idea from my blog post yesterday Mr Dog? Pets or else.
