Coco is too short, Emmy has road rage, Polo has too ..

Momma was out in the yard this weekend doing weird things... her dug holes in the ground (Zin and Zeph could have done that for her) and put these plants in the holes. This is what her was working on: This crazy behavior worried me so I stood at the window and watched her. Bissa got a new hair cut the other day... him looks like a LION, but we arent ..
