Bysuehar
Several of my friends, and also my parents, own dachshunds. I don’t know about you, but when I see a dachshund, I just smile. With a tummy so low to the ground you’d think that they would have a lot to complain about, but they are seldom grumpy. Dachshunds – both standards and minis –…
Small Joys–Christmases Past
Bysuehar
For me, Christmas has always been a time of remembering, even when I was very small. I love to look through old photos and remember past celebrations with nostalgia and joy.

Bysuehar
When these plants came up in my garden, it was apparent that a hard winter had almost killed them. Their leaves were black and half-dead. I promised to mulch them better next fall (I talk to my plants.), and then didn’t pay much attention to them. Imagine my surprise when the beautiful white blossoms appeared…
