In March, we attended the Philidelphia Flower Show. We also visited a National Historical Site, the home of Edgar Allen Poe. I would have thought I'd come home with lots of flower painting ideas, but instead, I want to paint ravens.

"Nevermore."

And the winner is....UNO


In honor of Uno, 3-year-old beagle, winning Westminster last night, I am sharing this necklace. Uno, was the first of his breed to win Best in Show in the 131-year-old dog show's history. My first dog was a beagle and I have a very soft spot in my heart for those loveable faces and velvety ears.
