<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sadie and I have been gardening these last few days. We’ve been working in the flower beds in front of the house, planting bulbs for next\u00a0Spring. While I know that the\u00a0effort will be worthwhile when I see those beautiful blossoms in Spring, I can’t help but feel that right now it’s thankless work. Sadie keeps looking at me like I’m crazy, wondering why I’m making so many holes and burying such weird things that don’t even\u00a0smell good. So in order to counteract the delayed gratification of planting bulbs, I decided to also buy some Fall flowers already in bloom. I planted some purplish Asters and reddish Mums in our little planter box on the deck. Sadie was very interested in our new floral decorations. She wouldn’t stop\u00a0hovering over\u00a0them once they were in place, and I joked that she was my little butterfly attracted to the new flowers. And then I realized that she really could be my butterfly; the Halloween<\/a> items were out of storage and her butterfly\u00a0costume was\u00a0just inside the next room. So I ran and grabbed the\u00a0costume and had a little Sadie butterfly photo shoot with our new flowers.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This post is part of the Thursday Barks and Bytes blog hop hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs<\/a> and Heart Like A Dog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
