And the dogs are practically living on the back porch–Dolly has to sniff, even when she’s thinking about taking a nap:
Unless of course Minnie comes around, and then Dolly starts thinking about playing:

St. Josef Stalin?
Last year, some relatives brought down a peony bush with some good old Indiana soil to plant it in. The drought took it out last year but it came back up and is doing pretty good.
