Ciao, miei amici!
Even though I was esausta (exhausted) from the thrilling and splendid wedding festivities in Salzburg -- plus my performance with il mio caro (my darling) Busterigo in “The Magic Flute” – la mia ragazza decided a nice pre-dinner passeggiata (walkie) would be just the thing for us ieri (yesterday). So, off we went to the park for a four-mile hike that took us past a bello ruscello (pretty stream) along a path that cut through magnifici alberi (magnificent trees) and lots of wildflowers. Why are there no fotografie (photographs) of this, you ask? Because la mia ragazza FORGOT TO BRING THE CAMERA! Plllffffbbbbb!
Once we finished our walkie, we both sat on a grosso masso (big boulder) alongside the pretty stream, and many admirers came over to ask la mia ragazza what sort of doggie I was. I got lots of attention and many pats, and quite a few little hoomans wanted to give me ear scritchies, and naturally, being polite and amiable, I indulged everyone.
In lieu of fotografie (photographs) from the park – which, to remind you, are not available because la mia ragazza FORGOT TO BRING THE CAMERA – she snapped a few pikkies from our yard so you can see what’s currently blooming there. Mmmm … lille (lilacs)! What dolce profumo (sweet perfume)!

Here are the beginnings of the peonies. We’ll have to wait a little while longer until their beautiful pink fiori (flowers) bloom.
And here are some hydrangea shoots, just waking up in time for spring …
… and some bambini (baby) clematis …
… and the feathery red leaves of the Giapponese (Japanese) maple tree.
And here is a rare gingery-colored Airedaleus Lucius (Lucia the Airedale), freshly clipped from the groomer. La mia ragazza says it is her most precious fiore (flower) of all. Awwwwww ….. I may have to give her an extra-big smoochie for that!!
Tanti baci!

You look great after the groomers!! I saw a Dale today at the park, she was much bigger than me, never realized just how big your breed is. =)
I love the lilas...I have one in my garden. I will ask my Véronique to put some pictures of it. But you are more beautiful sweet Lucia !

I wonder if I could grow my own Airedaleus Lucius. You sure look pretty.
Momma and Master had a Japanese Maple at their old house. They said they almost took it with them when they moved because they are just lovely trees.
Slobbers,
Mango
Oh yes, we like the Airedaleus Lucius the best too. You are so pretty Lucia! I'm going to the groomers on Saturday! Me and Finni are going together so I don't feel so scared...

Your walkie was probably better without the camera, Lucia. I always wish my girl would forget the camera when we go for our walks. Sometimes I feel like I'm being stalked by the puparazzi.
Woof,
Keeley
PS Your airecut looks great!
Lucia, You look very beautiful! We liked your pictures - we have a japanese maple in our garden too which has suddenly sprung into life.
They are always forgetting the camera, or to recharge the batteries in this house too - useless!
love

You ARE a precious flower. We agree with la mia ragazza (we're pretty sure the personal pronouns are messed up there... but, oh well. You know what we are trying to say!)
