Apparently Pip was embarrassed when I told the story about her getting sprayed by that skunk…

Double Crossed
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Thursday, July 19th 2012 under: Family, Miscellaneous
No one leave their comment yetWe have a problem in the garden. Over the coarse of the last week, I started noticing zucchini and summer squash either missing or half eaten. I first noticed it one night while LuLu and I were out burning off a little extra energy. LuLu loves to pick the summer squash, so she made a […]

Fireworks
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Wednesday, July 4th 2012 under: Family, Miscellaneous
No one leave their comment yetSo when I picked LuLu up from daycare yesterday one of her teachers said LuLu talked about nothing but fireworks all day. It came as a shock to me. With the DW on bed rest, and Potato Boy and Sissy away for the night, we weren’t planning on any fireworks – and we hadn’t mentioned […]

Pip – Still On Guard
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Monday, June 11th 2012 under: Garden, Miscellaneous
No one leave their comment yetThere are not any pictures with today’s post for two reasons: 1) I didn’t have a camera with me to get pictures of the cool stuff, and; 2) nobody wants to see pictures of the rest of the stuff discussed in today’s post. I guess it’s time for another update on how Pip is doing […]

This has become a bit of a routine the last couple weeks with the lack of rain. While I slipped on my shoes, I noticed Pip was patiently sitting at the […]

Wildflowers

No one leave their comment yetPotato Boy and I woke up early over the weekend to run a couple errands. We were just about home and had turned on to our road when I noticed all of the wild flowers along the road. Potato Boy instantly had a great idea. We parked the car at home and walked back up […]

Introducing Pip
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Sunday, May 20th 2012 under: Miscellaneous Tags: Kids, LuLu, Pip, Potato Boy, Sissy
No one leave their comment yetI’ve referenced our dog on a few occasions, so I guess I’m overdue on the formal introduction. We adopted Pip from a local shelter when she was just three months old. We were told she was half Lab – half German Shepherd, though we’re not totally convinced on the German Shepherd part. Given her size, […]
