This was a good day for Emma - she is like me and hates the rain.  A great wee dog in the garden - sticks to the paving and never sets a paw on the borders so we get along great.

Good for Emma!  Since we lost Lily the "twins"  are getting  naughty without her  calming influence -  it used to be that in winter, with snow on the ground or hard frost,   they were allowed to cross borders, then in growing season they would stick to the paths.  Without Lily giving her  good advice the Small Whites are  returning to their natural hooligan instincts and are liable to halleyracket all over the place.   Ian gets particularly annoyed with the  backward leg scraping and roars a good deal.    I'm sure before we rehomed them they had no idea about a garden with borders and flowers so it's not possible to be angry with them - especially when they are having such fun. It's just one of the many ways we miss Miss Lily.

It's so hard when you loose your dog - our Lucy was 14 when "her time came". She came from the SSPCA at Milton and when we were able to face the world we took her bits and bobs to the home and Emma was there - she was so sweet and only 8 weeks ago so we took her home with us. She has been a very quick learner - not quite Lucy - but she has her own qualities!!

Ah yes, Sheilagh's Brush is set to slam eastern Newfoundland tonight. Right on schedule but doubt it will slow down the ale consumption in St. John's on this St. Patrick's Day.

Not sure where to put this but I expect weather is ok as it was a clear sky. Close up of the moon taken through a combination of my phone and telescope.
