Spring continues!

Spring continues to roll in here in Raleigh!

The Redbuds are blooming!

  
And the Persian lilacs

  
And the German irises are budding

  
And the oxalis are coming up!

   
I have planted seeds in the vegetable garden for lettuce, arugula, and basil but I am having issues with squirls and birds digging through the soil! More on that later.

On a sad note, Gus, the pitt bull/ black lab mix I adopted in 2009 and who is in so many picture here and on Instagram has been diagnosed with lung cancer. He is having a consultation next week at North Carolina State University Vet School so be expecting an update later…

    I’m so sorry to hear about Gus. Pets are such an important part of a family.

    Poor Gus. I hope he has an easy time of it. I never even knew that dogs could get lung cancer.

    Sorry to hear about Gus. He looks like such a noble beast. no iris blooms in my garden yet — can’t wait for those! Are oxtails the same thing as shamrocks? I didn’t know they can survive the winters in Raleigh.
