I<\/span>t looks like I completely forgot putting up a post last week for the daily photos, which were pretty much all puppy pictures anyway. So here’s this week’s photos and a few leftovers from last week, too.<\/p>\n

I love this photo of Simon and his best buddy, snapped quickly in the school parking lot after school. Much as a cringe when people compliment my camera (“your camera takes lovely photos!”) I have to admit that a good camera can turn even the quickest snaps into a wonderful portrait!<\/p>\n

\"BFFs\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Poor kids can’t even eat breakfast in peace without someone turning a lens on them…<\/p>\n

\"Backlit<\/a><\/p>\n

… so I spend a LOT of time taking pictures of the not-much-more-patient-with-my-camera pets! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Floppy<\/a><\/p>\n

A tired puppy is a good puppy. We have done a LOT of walking these past few weeks!<\/p>\n

Bella and Willie have not exactly become friends, despite Bella’s best intentions. (Intentions to chase Willie all over the house, that is!)<\/p>\n

I was making a recipe that called for two cups of wildebeest, but wouldn’t you know it, we ran out of wildebeest just last week, so I substituted a lemon and a cup and a half of cat.<\/p>\n

I was delighted earlier this week to discover what I thought were crocuses (croci?) blooming in the garden, but apparently these are mini-irises. Who knew? Anyway, poor things are now buried under 10 cm of snow and ice pellets. Hope they’re hardy!!<\/p>\n

\"Crocuses!<\/a><\/p>\n

And while the vast majority of Ottawa (and most of Eastern Canada, likely) complained bitterly about a snow storm in mid-April, Bella alone was delighted. Born on Christmas day, she’s only ever seen snow-covered ground, and I think she’s been perplexed by its absence this past week or two. You can see how delighted she is to have her snowy ground cover back!<\/p>\n

\"Not<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a good thing I ran out of pictures, because as I type Bella is walking around the living room clearly looking for mischief. Here’s hoping next week’s photos are filled with more flowers and less snow! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
