Poor Teddy

Teddy has a sore on his tail that he won't (or can't) stop biting at

which means he's been chewing all the hair off his tail and making the sore much worse

and so... he is being forced to wear

"the tube of shame"

(as Collin and Logan like to call it)

 I'm pretty sure there's not a dog in the world

who is more depressed than Teddy right now

Poor, poor Teddy
(maybe we should take him swimming :)

Rhododendrons!

We had to be out of our house for a few hours after church on Sunday

(Open House)

so we decided to take a drive.

We headed north and west on 119 and ended up at

Rhododendron State Park 

in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire

WHO KNEW there was such a place?!

I had to take this picture quick before they were carried off by the mosquitos

(and look how tall Logan looks -- I'm pretty sure he's standing on something...)

 It's not a very big park, but it's filled with wild Rhododendron plants

that should be blooming in mid-July

if you care to stop by

 it would totally be worth another drive!
