Here’s Jessie at one year old. We’re both having a great time under the magnificent wisteria at Oldham Gardens (above).

I’ll have a lot of nature pictures to publish from our visits to Whitehall and Yew Dell, but there’s a lot of downloading and organizing to do first. Complicating this is the fact that my 2016 Macbook is on its last legs – battery and keyboard problems. Time for a new M1 laptop or desktop.

But first, a peony!
