I'm realizing the focus of this blog has changed, mostly focusing on my dog and my yard! This might restrict its universal, even world-wide appeal! Also I haven't posted in a while.
But I have seen critters! First, a pair of wild turkeys right before taking the Ford Parkway bridge into St. Paul!

We went camping last weekend at Afton State Park. It was our first time there and our inaugural camping trip with Stella. The hike-in status of the campground made it a little burly, however. Especially as the fresh drinking water was 1.5 miles away in the parking lot. Poor R had to carry a giant water bladder up the hill!

Our campsite (22) was the perfect combination of forest and prairie, sun and shade. Right away a deer came to visit!

Stella also scared up...a wild turkey! It fluttered away, making an angry noise!
Can you see the Bobo-Dog?




It's hard to get Stella to pose in a photo!

Apparently this is the smile we have when attempting a self portrait:

Hope you're all enjoying every moment of summer!
