Tess looks beautiful sitting so regal on the lovely green grass. Our grass is not nearly that green here.

Tessie's gaze is riveting...she is ready to GO!
Hmmmmm. I'm looking closely at the gorgeous yard (garden?) and the brick walls. How old are the walls? I have a funny feeling everything in England is OLD. *sigh*

dahlias don't really grow down here I don't think. but spring is popping out and my poppies and rocket larkspur are starting to bloom.

It's been a while since I have seen a picture of Tess. she's quite grown up and lanky.
