Don't you just love it when the neighbourhood vandals disable your security camera so that they can do their damage without being recorded?

I think from the sounds of it, this big guy was getting frustrated as he tried to drag the camera away.

The camera survived unscathed, but I don't think the evidence from the video is admissible in court. I did get a mugshot of the culprit, which I'll put in the first comment.

Backyard evenings don’t get much sweeter than this 🍃🐾

These little mountain #pups, puppy ice cream treat, and a whole lot of love in the #Appalachian air.

Gracie and Buzz and Auggie proving that the best things in life aren’t fancy, they are simple, shared, and just a little bit messy. 💛

Out here, it’s green grass underfoot, birds singing overhead, and a cool treat on a warm day. Passed back and forth like a peace treaty between best friends.

This is the kind of moment you wish you could bottle up forever.

Country living: that feeling you get when you take the lid off the sugar bowl, because the coleslaw needs just a tiny pinch of sugar, and a bunch of ants scramble out. 🙄 (Yes, it's one of those sugar bowl lids with a slot at the side for the handle of the sugar shell.)

This view shows a much smaller mound on top of one of the old Peonies- those are also July bloomers here. Above it is a florist #pussywillow which *is* showing signs of life! (catkins but not yet flowering)

About 25-30cm of new snow, already compressing / getting heavier! with mid day temperatures today a little above freezing + strong sun.
The big mound on the driveway was topped up- around 6 feet high, not as high as the last big one in March. It's on top of a large old perennial bed, usually some of the last snow to melt, but the plants there are mid to late summer things (Veronica, Achillea, Lychnis, Rosa rugosa) so they're fine.
