So the last few photos came to you today by way of the Jones Falls Watershed Association volunteering in Reservoir Hill today.  Casey, Jason and I planted EIGHT TREES – at least SIX where we dug the holes 100% by ourselves – in pouring rain.  We were miserable and soaked, but it was good for the neighborhood and good for karma.  (And, yes… I worked just as hard as the boys.)

This project is still a work in progress, but I’m finding more things to do as my 32nd birthday nears.  Volunteers for activities welcome!

Ten more to think up… yikes.

This year was our third year participating in the SPCA’s March for the Animals. The weather was great – overcast, yes, but bright, 65 degrees-ish and breezy. This year Antonio was lucky to walk with his Aunt Jill (thank you!), and I walked Rilee to help build my strong arm muscles. Not sure how much was raised yet this year (it takes a few days for them to know), but it really felt worthwhile, and the dogs are TIRED. Nicole and I actually dropped off Antonio at home and took Delilah and Rilee to Craven’s Cabana so that we could have a quick beer.

So I have loads of pics, but I’m including the cuter ones here.

Rilee and Delilah getting much needed water at a water station.

Antonio when he FINALLY thought he made it to the front of the pack. You could just feel how proud he was!

Antonio and his momma (like my sunburn?)

Nicole and her girls – Rilee and Delilah (where’s Waldo Antonio?)
