Periodic puppy pics

Here's Callie looking back at me on a recent walk. She always wonders if I'm capable of keeping up. I am. But when I've got the camera, I stop too much for her taste. She waits for me, but I know she's just doing it to be polite. She must wonder if I could find my way home without her.

Spring is chilly this year. But the plants are coming along, and there are lots of flowers. A good sign? I hope so.

The grape vines are starting to get their leaves now. Spring is unfolding in slow motion this year. That's ok, as long as it means that we'll have a nice summer. I don't know why it should mean that, but I'm hoping it does.
