Bee Warned


Good day friends. I would like to share with you, some thing I saw last week at White Memorial while I was busy overdoing it.

In addition to the beautiful grounds and acre and acres of trails, White Memorial has lots of learning opportunities.
Here is a shot of the conservation center.

Around back, we went up these stairs through the native plants garden.


where we came upon a bunch of signs with things to look for around the park.
Including this!


I didn't see any of these bees on our visit, but look who was buzzing around when I got home.

Don't worry girls, nothing can take a way the beauty and power of the tall strong Sunflower!

Is it possible we could live in harmony?

Take Me Out to the Ball Game



So, last week my Auntie Diva called and invited us to a Yankees game. Oh, was I ever excited. Me and Brigitte started planning what we would wear and packing up our camera, when Mom told us only her and Dad were going. She said "dogs" aren't allowed at the stadium.

What?! You know we are not dogs, we are pugs.
"No pugs either"
Well, I was not going to sit for this. Surely, when they got a look at our mugs, we would have to be admitted. So we launched a plan.



As soon as Mom and Dad dove off, we took off to the train station where we boarded the express train to the game.


Of course, we got in, no problem.

Wouldn't you know it, there was a rain delay. But that was cool, cuz the new stadium is like a resort.
We decided to go up to the Audi Club for a few beers while we waited for the game to resume.
The club was great. There is a restaraunt and bar there. Screens everywhere for us to see when the game started. Plus we could watch through the window as they covered the field while the rain came down in buckets



Then we decided to take a walk around and check out the scene.



There were seats from the old stadium,so we stopped for a photo op.

Then we found these life size images of the players.
We asked Sluggoto take a picture of us with Jorge Posada.
We were having so much fun!

Then it happened...



Caught! That's right, can you believe that Dad and Auntie were getting a snack and
the hawk eyes saw us!
The party was over.
Needless to say, it was a long quiet ride home.

We are a Yankees family. All but Sluggo, he was born into Red Sox nation.
Even though his mom Coley was from Yonkers, Sam and Murphy are avid Red Sox fans, there was no way of getting him to cross over to what he calls "The Evil Empire"

Who's your favorite baseball team?

Finding Brigittte


OK folks as much as we fantasized about the idea of leaving Brigitte behind at the park, me and Sluggo could never actually do such a horrible thing. We were not part of the problem in fact, but part of the solution.

We searched high

We searched low

We searched far and wide

We looked in her favorite spot at Mommy's feet

We even thought to grill some meat


Just when we thought there was no hope left, Sluggo called me over to the fenceShe was right under our noses the whole time.



Next door with her girlfriend Meekus!


As not to misrepresent the parties involved, the last shot with the pug and lab are actually body doubles. Brigitte and Meekus  haven't slowed down long enough for Mom to capture a decent shot.

Another FYI...Flat Puglets visit with us was posted on his website flatpuglet.com yesterday April 8th

We Interupt This Mystery for a Very Important Announcement









I'm so excited I can barely contain myself. Over the weekend Mom and Dad were working in the garden, turning over the soil, and they found these!


 


Yes, those are potatoes. They are from last years crop, they survived, and grew over the winter. Now, judging from the fanfare, this was very exciting for the  humans. I was like...eh, whatever. Can I eat 'em?

What's got me so amped up is this idea I had while going over seed catalogs with Dad. You see, truth be told, my Dad is an awesome organic vegetable farmer.



Dad has flirted with the idea of blogging about it but the garden keeps him very busy. This garden is at my Grammy and Grampy's house. We didn't have enough sun at our old house to grow much. Now that we've moved, we are going to attempt some veggies atour new house. Dad will continue to garden at Grammy and Grampy's too. So now he will be even busier. So I thought, what if  Dad was a guest blogger on my blog? He could write about his garden when he was inspired to do it, but not be obligated to post all the time.

He accepted my offer!!! Now, this announcement may be premature, because I don't know when he will start to write, but I was bursting at the seams with excitement and just had to tell someone.



Fear not B fans, I will reveal her whereabouts soon. She is not in harms way I can assure you of that.
