The Brocco-dale story---

Airedales love their veggies!  It's a good thing that this year's quilt is, "Garden Party" depicting Airedales in the garden.

Sue Forrester writes:
Emma is the youngest of the Aussie As at Wombat Bend, Oz

She's the veggie queen of the pack, happy to munch anything without a face. 

Her favourite place is nose-first into the broccoli patch, and when all the florets have gone, she'll start on the leaves. If ever I can't find her, I just check the veggie garden first. 
Emma the Brocco-dale!


She's saved her pocket money for making a donation to this year's Quilt cuz her view is that;
 Life is a Garden Party just for her!

Helping Airedales, it's the right thing to do.  Please donate today!

  5. Emma - I am so jealous of your broccoli patch. All I got were a few piddly cherry tomatoes from the planter "garden". You are SO lucky to have all that veggie bounty. Pinky
    Lydia - the broccoli salad recipe sounds delicious. I'll have to give it a try. Candy
