Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.
Piper believes that any time we pull up next to a wall, if she throws all her weight against the seat belt and whines really loudly, a Magic Door will open in that wall, and a milkbone will appear on a Magic Tray. I have to lean far to the right at a drive-through window, if I don't want to get a crack in the skull from Piper's rock-hard noggin! A milkbone from a Magic Window is much, much more exciting that the treats we have at home ;)
silly me, I was getting muddled up with my blog friend Karen, who hasn't even got a dog (go figure!). Shall I plea a "senior moment" or own up to an extra glass of vino by the fire... :-D
Hahaha! No worries, Kath. I did a double-take recently when a bloggy friend mentioned digging in her garden... somehow I had started thinking she was in my neck of the (now frozen) woods, but not even close! :)

You look intent, Piper. Whose seat belt are you leaning on? I love how your eyes are almost covered by your bangs.
ReplyDeleteI saw the news about the goat construction yesterday. Yay!!!!

DeleteMy husband said "There's your Canadian cousin Roobs".
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo as always. I wish I could lean into my computer and kiss that shaggy face!
Well, almost...but we're not Canadian, we're Americans. At least, I am...maybe there's something Piper hasn't told me! ;)
