Bluebell Dog

Hi! My name is Baron. I'm the offcial guard dog and the unofficial greeter & tour guide here on Oak Hill. The boss went into town and should be back shortly. Come on up the driveway. I can't go out there cause of this "invisible fence" thing which give me a tingle if I try to cross the property line onto the road.

You can just follow me up the red path. They put that red stuff in here last week. I don't get it because the grass was easier on my paws. People do strange things.

Watch your step. That little plant is a trillium. The boss likes to show it off to the neighbors cause the flowers are above the leaves. The ones that grow in the woods around here are more bashful. The white flowers are hidden underneath. He found it in northern Wisconsin. Figures.....

I got in trouble for laying down in this blue stuff. The then he started calling me his "bluebell" dog. I'm no pansy.

These umbrella looking things are called mayapples. I looked. No apples that I could find.

Speaking of apples this is where he throws the rotten ones and tomatoes etc. I have no idea why The Trout Man saves that kind of stuff.

Say maybe you'd like to sit a bit? This is the "birds and blooms" bench. They said they saw a catbird last week. I keep and eye out for the real thing. The neighbors cats. Somebody has got to keep those troublemakers off our property.

I like this area. It's where they eat outside sometimes. I don't understand though why they put good meat on a stick and then char it over a fire. I get the leftovers though so it's not all bad.

Wait a minute. I hear the bosses truck in the driveway. Let's go see. Maybe we can go for a hike
