M.O.M. said to tell you that she is sorry that she has been gone so long. She has many things to do and feels like she is using up all her spare time each day. She has promised us she will at least try to post a photo once in awhile so all of you will know we are all okay.  Thanks of understanding.

Oh, we almost forgot to tell you...we have SNOW!!! Lot's of snow! At the moment there is about 11 inches in our yard. We have had freezing rain all day and are hoping for warmer weather in the coming days.  We enjoy playing in the snow but it is sooo cold outside!  We don't even get to go to the beach! M.OM. said all our roads are covered with thick ice and the State Patrol has asked that everyone stay home this week. So we are!
Hugs and wags, Mistaya and Maggie

Christmas Day At Our House By The Sea

I took this picture of the pups in the back yard on Christmas Day. I am still not used to seeing green grass all year long nor nothing white lying on top of the grass.
I know Mistaya prefers the white stuff to play in and Maggie has experienced snow fall only once in her little life. I wonder if she remembers playing in it last winter?
I also took the following photos on Christmas day. I have never had plants flowering in any of my flower beds anytime during the winter!  It amazes me to see them still growing.

This rose is just about ready to burst into bloom any minute.

This Daisy has traveled with me from Washington, to Montana and now back to Washington and it never fails to produce beautiful flowers for me. They come in so many different color patterns. Some are pure yellow. some have brown streaks thru the peadals, some are covered in a beautiful brown hiding almost any of the yellow.

As I always say..."In the garden..where there's color there is hope."

Spring will be here soon!

Keep your family close and filled with love
