It's almost Spring!!!!!!!

Our Hibiscus is blooming twice, which hasn't happened since September!

It's good to be here, following the blog. It looks great, and reminds me to get on with my own blog, which I haven't touched since July. Slainte Mhath!

Finnbar!

Hello from California! This is Finn. I am sorry it took us so long to send pictures but I have been crate training/house breaking (heart breaking more like it). We got him on Monday from a nice family in Santa Clarita. His mom is a brown toy Australian Shepherd and his dad is a black Chihuahua. His eyes are sea green and he is a licking machine. In his litter he was the middle child, just like me and Eilidh! He will probably be about 12-15 lbs, and don't worry we are bringing him to Maine the next time we come! Sean and I are absolutely adoring being "doggy parents". We both miss you all and are happy to read all about the goings-on there in Maine and New York! Love you all!

Some Mainer's have no electricity. We do!
