Bobby needs a home!

March 31, 2007


Neighbor Lisa Ferris reports that her neighbor Susan is looking to find a foster or permanent home for a German Shepherd named Bobby she has recently rescued. See the flier above for more details. Bobby sounds like a kind-hearted couch potato, and I know there are a few human folks matching that description in our neighborhood (wink, wink), so please consider bringing Bobby home soon.

Oops, those aren’t dogwoods…

March 31, 2007

A few folks have observed that the blooming trees posted last weekend are cherry trees, not dogwoods. According to one report, they are Yoshino cherry trees, which were originally imported from Japan in the early 20th century. They are gorgeous right now, regardless of what they are called.
