Six Years Later, New Tricks

"It's no Tick Acres. There's no Point of Surrender or Dog Paradise. But the house sits high, away from hillside springs and downtown Bloomington is just a few blocks away. The flower garden is tiny, and the veggie garden is a block and a half away. Steve and I like to think that we are lucky. And the dogs, rich with occasional romps in the nearby forests and long walks through the neighborhood, stay at home when I go on vacation."
