indeed folks, those are ferns

yippee! ferns lots of them. still not a whole lens full, but -sigh- i feel better:)

i went for nice half hour walk with olive this morning. for those that don't know lovely olive, she is our 1 1/2 yr old puppy. she's a mix of (most likely) yorkie, corgi, and beagle. she's awesome:) recently she learned how to shake. sometimes she gets confused as to what trick we are going to ask her to do. so, she'll quickly sit, lay down, roll over, get back up, and wait for us to direct her. haha. it cracks me up. also, when she's really excited and we try to get her to calm down by doing a trick (usually roll over). she'll sit down and spin on her butt thinking that's the same as laying down and rolling over. i love it!

we don't have a tv and what we end up doing a lot in the evenings is just watching or playing with her. wonderful entertainment. i'll load some pictures as soon as i can.

we also have a very stoic kitty named malo. olive loves to pester him and wrestle. malo used to be a wee bit tubby. since we got olive, he gets a lot more exercise!

a friend of mine is working on putting together her nursery. it's making me itchy to do the same. patience is obviously not my forte regarding this adventure. i can't remember if i already told you i figured out the color for the nursery. it's "a touch of spring", nice light green. i've noticed before that mid-cycle i get in the mood to organize and clean. could be an ovulation sign?
