When we built our house 30 ...Thanks, Prairie Soul. When we built our house 30 years ago, there was a vacant lot next to ours, so we asked the neighbor on the other side if he wanted to buy the lot with us and divide the property. He agreed, so we have nearly an acre of land, which gives us a large back yard. When Diana was younger, she had a glorious time chasing squirrels and birds, and, on rare occasions, she actually caught one or the other. For her, the joy seemed to be in the chase.

We still have a lot of snow on the ground here in Iowa but soon Spring will burst forth and we will be able to take walks with flowers. All I can say is Thank You! - I don't know what the yellow flowers are but my grandmother always said you should have yellow in a bouquet. jaycoles@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299489611656202052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-90958207123004835662013-03-08T19:26:28.013-06:002013-03-08T19:26:28.013-06:00Oh, and we have possums, armadillos, and nutria wh...Oh, and we have possums, armadillos, and nutria who pass through.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-30594520501710651352013-03-08T19:25:23.396-06:002013-03-08T19:25:23.396-06:00Our yard is fenced, but stray cats visit sometimes...Our yard is fenced, but stray cats visit sometimes, so that may be what Diana smells.

She'll just PLANT her nose in one spot, like a powerful magnet caught and held it.
