OMD...you didn't think I ATE CRUSH, did you???
He just asked Mama for some cookies and brought them to me, what a great turtle!!
Last weekend Rosy and I were lucky and got to go with Mama and Daddy
to Napa Valley!! Mostly, this trip was just for relaxing and it was nice to be able to get away for a weekend of fun in the sun!
Mama made a reservation to go taste wine at St.Supery Winery on Saturday and guess what?? We got to go too!!
It was a beautiful day with blue skies and warm temperatures!
The grapes seem to like it and Mama says it will help them grow into big strong wines!
We had fun exploring the St. Supery gardens...
After a little walk around the grounds, it was time to go in for our tasting!!
Rosy and I were very happy that it was inside.The air conditioning felt wonderful
after the running around we were doing outside!
I was also happy I had my stroller, it gave me a human eyed view of what was going on at the table! They set out two glasses of red wine and two glasses of white wine for Mama and Daddy to taste!
Daddy let me smell the wines...this one had a very fruity bouquet with an undertone of peaches!
I would have tasted it too....but Mama said no.
Sheesh, doesn't she know I'm almost 70 in doggy years?? that's plenty old enough to taste a little wine!
Rosy was more interested in what the people at the other table were tasting!
Mama made a short video of our day wine tasting...

Sunny here guest hosting this week's Nature Friday!
This week, I want show you the rhododendron blooms we've had in our backyard through out Spring.
Believe it or not, they started blooming back in early April and we still have a few of our bushes still blooming!!
Let's take a look!
It seems different shades of pink are the "in" color for Rhodies this year.
Here we have a group of mostly white blooms, with very pale pink edges.
I like the curly edging on these blooms, and the pretty polka dots on some of the petals.
When walking in your backyard, it's always good to look down, and not just to find flower petals and leaves to chew on!
Slugger, the banana slug, lives under the deck and comes out to visit on foggy mornings.
When have warmer weather we get visitors to like Lizzie, the (Shasta Alligator)Lizard who likes to lay in the grass when the sun is shining! Sally, the garden snake, will probably make an appearance soon, but we haven't seen her yet.
He's not like a REAL alligator, right Mama?
No? Whew!
Anyway...let's get back to our rhododendrons
Pretty bright pink rhodies with small blooms....
...and some bigger light pink blooms with curly edges!
Little pink Rhody buds....
Turn into pretty pink blooms!!
Let's round off this rhododendron fest with this beautiful purple blooms!!
Thank you for joining me in the backyard this week, I really enjoyed showing you our
pretty rhododendrons and scary, I mean, interesting other creatures!
I hope every buddy a pawsome weekend full of Nature!!
