Hello kind and gentle readers! It’s me, the beagle, reporting on what’s happening around the backyard. Mom and Dad took down the garden last year.

I’ve been remiss in thanking Burpee for their wonderful gift basket. Back in July, I participated in a contest on Pinterest for My Burpee Dream Garden. I wrote a long post here and shared with all of you what I’d do for a garden whether I won or not. Well, I didn’t win. A lovely woman named…
