Hello, my name is Emmitt

Hello everyone,
My name is (Doc) Emmitt Brown/Jenkins and I have just arrived here on Church Street!

I guess you can say...
I'm back...back from the future!
And I have seen that this going to be a blast!

By the way, I'm a golden retriever!
And...As the newest member of our family, I have been very busy breaking in the parents!

Even though I'm small now...one day, I will be big!

I'm already 6 1/2 weeks old and 7 weeks old on Wednesday!
I weigh almost 8 pounds...Quite the handful or two as I'm told.
See, I'm getting bigger by the minute!

But...
I have no patience...NONE AT ALL!
When I am hungry...
I want to eat right this minute!

I don't want to wait until you've washed my new bowl or figured out where you want me to eat.
Here and now works great!

After I eat and then stand in my new bowl for awhile...

I go outside!
Grass, twigs and leaves are such  fun!

If you're a really, really lucky puppy...
It will do this thing they call "Snow"
It's so great!
Follow me...I will show you!

I really like to play in this stuff!

But I can work too! Look at me helping!

You take the low road...
And I'll take the high road!
And we will meet somewhere down....

Here! Way out here!

 Dad is explaining why we do our "business" in the grass! Way out here, away from mommy's flowers!

Great Scott!
My own area!

Aren't these paths cool?
I am supposed to stay on them when we "go out"

But it's more fun to get in the deep stuff

Sometimes...you sink right in!

I have discovered that snow is very tasty...but to avoid the yellow kind...Not so great!

I am learning so fast!

Just today...
I learned the word "No" but have no idea what it means even though I have heard many times now!
I also discovered steps...

The going up is much easier than  the coming down believe me!
Just watch...I can do this really fast!

I'm getting pretty tired now!
Time for a good towel drying, a warm blanket and a nap!

It's been so nice to meet you...I am sure you will be seeing more of me from now on!
There is so much happening at our house and I am finding out...
I'm not supposed to get into most of it!
But I have found my way around and it will be just a matter of time!

Another Snow Day and Blueberry Orange Coffee Cake

I awoke this morning to see that it had once again snowed here in Indiana!
As the morning progressed...it grew steadily worse!

I don't know about you...but in these parts
That means playing hooky!
You know...do stuff you wouldn't be doing ...
If the weather had not changed!

So instead of wading through  the snow to the cottage...I decided to cook in my new kitchen!
I couldn't think of anything better to do...can you?

So I gathered my goods and an old recipe. !

 A family favorite...
 Blueberry Orange Coffee Cake.

This is officially...

The first thing I have cooked in my newly completed kitchen! 

 So I wanted to make something that we love and I haven't made in a very long time.

While the snow was falling and the cake was baking...I took pictures of my tulips!

Then, while it was still hot from the oven...
I had a piece of this amazing coffee cake!

And thought I would share it with you!

From me to you my dear friends! Enjoy!
