After the Fact...

While Kevin was here, the Glory-of-the-Snow flowers began blooming in the yards across the street. I tried to take pictures, but the cloudy skies did not create the show that they are. Today was sunny, allowing me to take some decent shots of the floral lawns.

The day after Kevin left, the forsythia branches we cut were in full bloom!

Melanie's dog is Sophie. This morning, Sophie and Guinness went to doggie park together. Once back at our house, I set out a bin of water for them to drink and then to clean Guinness's paws before entering the house. They were drinking together, but I was unable to catch the moment.

After our doggie park playtime, Sophie had an appointment with her groomer. Kevin met Sophie, but he wouldn't know her today any more than Sophie's own children know her. The one year old is scared of her, and the three year old said, "There is a new dog in our house!"

At only three years old, Teo is enamored with Kevin. Melanie wrote: When Teo finally realized that it was Sophie, he was really happy but started joking around saying this was his dog Guinness (probably because of the short hair) and he was Kevin! This went on for a bit, and then he said, "Take a picture of me Kevin with my dog Guinness. And Maman, pretend to be Mrs. Walsh, and, Papa, pretend to be...(LONG pause)...Mrs. Walsh's dad!" LOL I guess that is Grant!!
