Another Bumble Bee

My neighbors across the street have these flowers which are attract butterflies and bumble bees. Click here to zoom in... Will try to catch up on commenting Wednesday - I'm having trouble keeping a speedy connection to BlipFoto right now..

Dog Update:
- Maggie is doing much better today. She is walking and even a little playful. The vet said that she has to be kept "quiet" for 1 week. Have you ever tried to keep a terrier quiet?

- Emily, my 17 year old beagle/dachshund mix got her yearly checkup today and they found two problems: Most of her remaining teeth have deteriorated since her dental cleaning in April 2011 and she has a heart murmor. Not sure what I am going to do since there is risk no matter what is done (surgery vs doing nothing at all). Will have to think about this for a couple of days....
