Hey everyone back again, not been doing much blogging. I need to get inspired again, with spring somewhere near by (OK dreaming of it on a 20 degree day) I'm looking forward to our hellebore garden blooming. Currently we have 3 plants blooming see my facebook page  with the photos. The last three photos were taken last week, the other last season. I'm always looking for new and old gardening friends so friend request me if you have not already done so.

On Wednesday this week we got an 1/2 inch of snow. I took Baxter to the local park and we walked 3 miles in the snow. The back trail only had one set of foot prints going in and out, so we had that part of the park to ourselves. Still some lingering snow in the shadows here.

 See the only set of foot prints going in and returning by Baxter's feet. Baxter has been getting training from a family member who takes him for runs up to 6 miles. He has calmed down a good bit and stays with you in the yard without being leased. Well most of the time.
 Wanting home made dog cookies!
 Its really nice to let him run. Oh, I promised him a dog treat look at that tongue!
 OK, where's my treat? The snarled look is due to his one flaw the vet pointed out, a canine tooth slightly extending outward.
Behaving and posing for the camera. It took a long time to get him to actually stand still.

Next post will be some Witch-hazels I found blooming while garden visiting recently. And more winter flowers.

That looks like one happy doggy! I can see where long walks will calm him down. Works great on teenagers too!

Baxter looks quite the character especially with his tooth being the way it is.

It's good seeing you back again.

The hellebore blooms are so beautiful on your Facebook page! I am so ready for spring - unfortunately it's a bit further away for me now that I'm up north. Your dog sure looks like he's having fun, though!

Baxter is a sweet looking dog. Love that little tooth.
