New puppy, Asa's birthday, Dirty Man

I am not sure in what order these pics are going to post . . . . Josie is our new puppy, sweetest thing ever. She is a grandchild of Belle, our long-haired daschund that died last year, her mother is a maltese and her father is a short-haired daschund. She is precious!

We celebrated Asa's 8th birthday yesterday at the pool. Hot dogs, cake and ice-cream, lots of presents and swimming!
Happy Birthday Ace! Mama loves ya!

Lastly, this scary looking man is my dear husband after a long, hot day of planting sprigs. So much dust and dirt since not much rain here and this is what you get. He is really is good-looking, under all that dirt! I love you! Thanks for working so hard for us!
