I believe this is a daylily. The gardeners who work the Homeward Bound Memorial Garden will attest to the large gaps in my knowledge of things that grow so it’s no surprise I’m not certain. They let me mow the grass area because it makes me feel useful and I can’t much damage anything in the garden in that endeavor. I love the color and form of the daylilies and asiatic lilies. You’ll often find me near their bed trying to capture the perfect image. I chose this one for today because it’s getting cold here and it makes me…

Peak-a-Boo Peyton
Yesterday you met Lori’s dog, Jethro. Peyton was in some of the shots, lurking in the background. She was more than a little camera shy and decided to play peek-a-boo with me but I finally got one shot with her looking into the camera.
Jethro
I was wandering by the big yard at Homeward Bound and noticed Lori playing with her dogs, Peyton and Jethro. You might recall from a previous blog that my Scrappy is hopelessly infatuated with Lori.

But you have to expect fewer keepers and be willing to move quickly. Some dogs surprise you. I’ve written about Yule, a dog many volunteers never expected to be able to play nicely with other dogs. Turns out he sees play as a contact sport but has a soft mouth to keep things safe. Play can also be therapeutic for some dogs. Charley was drugged because he behaved like … a puppy. To be fair, he also ate a…
Puppies!
A dog kissed me …

My paramour has returned
That would be Yule. I wrote about him in my very first blog. His Mom is off on yet another adventure so he came to stay with me this morning. I have kennels in a converted garage, and that is where he stayed on previous visits, but I already have 2 dogs out there. So Yule needs to be inside the house this time. We introduced Yule to my dog, Scrappy, during Yule’s most recent visit. That went well which was pretty exciting since Yule had been pegged as needing to be the only dog in a household. But after…
