The Champion of Dogs

Just in case you missed the news this morning, the Westminster Dog Show was last night and the winner of the Best in Show was a 3 year-old male beagle named Uno. This was the first time since 1939 that a beagle won. How cool, huh? His is very cute and made an apperance on the CBS morning show today.

Check him out!

Gardening class

I just decided to do a quick post today! I have been sick with a sinus infection and haven't felt like doing too much....it has been a long time since I posted.

Anyway, the end of January I started the Purdue Master Gardener Program that is being offered through Bartholomew & Brown Counties this spring. So far we have had 2 classes and it is really interesting. We have learned all about soil and how to adjust it so the pH is good for the plants.

Last week we learned all about roots, stems, parts of flowers, and the functions of each. Did you know that a potato is both a stem and a root???

Anyway, check out the website if you are interested in learning more about the program!

Have a good day and enjoy the ice and snow!
