Then she was pretty much back to normal and went about her business like nothing ever happened. She had a great day out meeting other dogs that weekend at the cherry blossom festival in New Haven. She may look mad in this picture but this is actually her happy face. :)
With the use of an old box that was in our basement and some wire mesh we made a garden sieve and used it to screen the rest of the soil to get rid of all the roots and rocks. It looked pretty good but we bought some bags of soil just to be sure.
A few bags of quality soil and manure later and we now have a good looking start of a vegetable garden. Of course we'll need to actually plant some to really see if it works.
Although many people think that you have a birthday once a year, you actually only have one and the rest are just the anniversary of your birthday. Today was the birth day of twin girls Faith and Sophia in Enniskillen, N.Ireland. Well done Kyra and Gareth! So that makes me an uncle and Jen an aunt. Jen decided that her first task as an aunt was to bake these fancy buns and cover them with colored butter cream. The folks back in Ireland won't be eating them though, that pleasure rests heavily on our shoulders. They taste really good by the way - I ate a 'Y' a few minutes ago.
Jen would like me to inform everyone that this was not one of the buns. This is actually an earlier attempt at making eclairs. They came out a little flat but tasted really good. Another attempt will be made tomorrow.
That's more like it. Fresh hot buns from the oven
After some experimentation with mixing various colors Jen settled on the purples and pinks. Once they were arranged in the correct color order the writing of letters could begin.
Even Sophie thinks that the butter cream is good, for one lick at least.
