Can't believe Jellybeen is a teenager !

Look hard , yes my tomatoes are peeking up ! My home grown , that I collected seeds , are peeking up quicker than store bought early tomato varieties ? Eggplant & pepper seeds , front peat pods , slowly responding . Switched to special neon lights , from multi-colored grow lights .
Also plant vegetable instead of flowers . At the Saratoga Race Track , the Italian gardener planted yellow bell peppers at the entrance !
Here Oliver is training for a St. Bernard in snow rescue . He is too short to carry a full measure of rum , so he carries a shot glass !
Practice is not to breed our girls before they're 2 years old , for health & development of mothering instincts . Sandy will not be 2 until October . . . too young for puppy love !
Will actually plant seeds for eggplant , tomatoes , & peppers in March . Set back : mice ate through double walled container & attacked seeds stored on upper shelf ! Luckily my home grown & saved tomato seeds untouched ! Ordering replacements for seeds eaten .
Lil' Copper earned Intermediate Tricks Title ! There are so many titles out there ! Mom thinks that's enough titles for Lil' Copper , no longer fun ! That's a good time to stop training & seeking titles & have fun !
Most are with puppies , yet most have no tails but Cardigan colors ( blue merle & faded hues ? ) . Thinking " Designer " dogs ( mutts ) ! Trouble with these designer dogs , cowboy corgis , or mutts they will not breed true Pembroke or Cardigan . Buyer be ware ! Breed crossing was banned by AKC in 1931 .
Winter Storm Alert ! This is the big one ! 8 to 12 inches of light fluffy snow ! We got 2 inches of wet snow ! Well that's a lot ! Almost chest deep for my Cardigans ! Another Bullseye for the weatherman !
Couple mentioned excessive shedding . This Winter hasn't hit in Upstate NY yet . It's more like Fall ! With heat kicking on & off indoors , sun telling them it's Winter , but temperatures fluctuating near Fall temps , think our dogs shedding gene is confused ! Heck it's January & the ground's not frozen !
This is what it should be !
