Sweet Harper crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. The quiet around the house hurts.

One of out #beagles, Harper, is preparing to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Two of his siblings seem to understand something isn't right, and have been attentive but gentle.
A beagle sleeps on a towel while another snuggles with him, and a third sniffs him. A beagle rests on the couch while another monitors him from above on the back of the couch.

Just gave someone a complement, and they responded with "I'd like to think this is sarcasm..." so going back to never complementing ever again because my unreasonable paranoia that it's going to upset them has been legitimized.

Photo of a large strawberry resting in the palm of someone's hand. It is almost the size of the palm.

We knew a chunk of this tree would fall eventually... And if it had to fall and crush a large portion of my garden, at least it did so at the end of the season.

Ended up with at least 19 of these little guys on my milkweed this year.

The 2nd reason (and side-effect of the main reason) the #beagles can't be unattended in their own yard for the next week:

I feel like Tom Barrett has already ruined his own like, there's nothing I could do to make it worse. I mean, just hearing his name makes me think of this scene from Bob's Burgers, but with a more sinister tone:

She did it again! How am I supposed to chastise her when she's so cute about it?!

Beagle/Italian Greyhound mix laying in a covered planter a top an outdoor table, squishing the thyme and oregano. Close up of beagle/Italian greyhound mix curled up on the covered planter atop an outdoor table. We see she had previously been digging in the uncovered planter in front of it. She's sleepy now.

Went to prune my blueberries last week. And this one is still green from last summer! I'm in Michigan, this isn't actually possible, but there it is. #Gardening
Blueberry bush with green leaves. Some have the slightest tinge of red, but it's as green as summer.

This is such a cute problem to have. In Isobel's defense, it does look like a bed.
