Eve in Bed

This is not exactly Eve's bed. We'd cleaned out the azalea bed at the front of the house, tearing out all the old roots and miscellaneous border grass and refilling the holes that the dogs had dug. Al had even spread a thin layer of new mulch so that it looked half decent while we decided what to replace the old plants with. Eve decided we'd made this bed just for her and has taken up residence. She travels the rest of the yard grazing and returns whenever she's ready to lay down. I'm wondering if the unusual earthy aroma from the new mulch is helping repel flies or if she is just enjoying being the center of attention at the front door.
