Spring/Summer On The Hill

Greetings from The (Spring/Summer) Hill,

Dog pen is behind that tree straight ahead


Just as seasons change on The Hill my background needs to change on the Blog.  Right now The Hill is green, green, green.  There are not a lot of flowers yet but the trees are in full leaf.  We are still in that place where the weather is hot one day and cool the next.  Today is cold and windy.

I have planted sunflowers on two sides of the (unused) dog pen.  When (if) they grow they will camouflage the pen.

Miss Biscuit


The pen was intended for Biscuit who is such a sweet dog that she stays on the porch unless one of us goes walking.









I also planted some shade wildflowers all around the property.  Some in the dog pen, some beside the driveway and some randomly around the woods.  I thought about Daddy the whole time.  He was always busy planting in the spring, just like my brother does. 

With spring also comes visits from the newly awake bears.  One has already visited to see if he/she can find food.  DH poured Clorox in the trash can.  Bears have a keen sense of smell and Clorox doesn't smell good so they pass by.
