I went with my friend Lisa today to check out a new Scottish Terrier pup. She was very pretty and so cute. Lots of kiss and bouncing. Lisa will now have 3 Scotties. You remember Duncan and Fiona.

Cold Thyme
The temperature at night has been getting pretty cold. We had frost on the lawn a few mornings and all the heat loving plants have turned brown and dead. Thyme is a pretty hardy plant, however it has turned from a deep green to a dark purple. The plant is still living and will turn green again once the weather turns warmer.

Before and After Button
Aunt Becky stopped by with Christmas presents for Button, Carbon and Lu. Both dogs got rope toys and Lu got kitty treats. They all love their gifts. Button had a great time chewing, ripping, and completely destroying her rope. Carbon's still looks brand new with it's tag attached even.

Fondue
We had cheese fondue the other night in our Swiss made pot. The whole setup was a present from Sid's parents. His mom also provided the recipe we use. It's really good, but it's not something you can eat everyday and I like cheese!
From this angle you can see the cross design on the pot. An even better photo can be seen on Robert's site.

Pea tendrils and other garden scenes
This is a tendril from one of the Tall Telephone pea plants.
Last year I didn't save the radish seeds from most of the plants, because I had several different varieties growing at the same time. When I pulled out the old plants I didn't worry about collecting the seeds. The yard near the garden bed has a lawn of radishes, California poppies and some broccoli.
The oregano is starting to get new leaves. I harvested a bunch this weekend and put it in the dehydrator. It's perfect for tomato sauces and such.
Lettuce plants have seeds that kind of look like dandelions seeds with the fuzzy end. I didn't get to collect too much seed, but many fell on the nearby soil. This is one of them growing on it's own.
This is one of the biggest broccoli plants, so far this year.
