Did I miss the date of the Tower Hill show? Sounds like a worthwhile trip. I'll check their website, see if I can dig it up the date.

By the way, most every time it snows, I think of the clip you posted a while back of your dogs ripping around your garden in the paths you carved for them. I'm guessing that it was the puppies, but I'm sure Fergus had her day acting when like a goon was der riguer. Good friends

Forcing bulbs is so much fun, though it sounds a little stressful to time it to a flower show! This year I meant to pot up some narcissus for forcing, but got so busy that I never got around to it. There is still a neglected bag of them in my cold garage, though, and one of these days I'll pot them up to see if they'll come up. That is too bad there are not any recent books about forcing times. Eventually, maybe you should consider writing one 🙂

Your post is inspiring and interesting and your tucked-in plant pots are doing their thing of bringing early Spring hope, but those shots of Fergus are really just beautiful. Thanks.

We're really sorry your buddy is sick. We've been there, too. My buddy, Slipper, hung around for a very long time after he was diagnosed, and had a good life, which is the whole point, isn't it?
