It's Fly Over Friday

by Vlad

Howdy my little lovelies, and how are you this wonderful Friday in May?

 Mom is cutting loose buying lovely (as my sweet Prudence says, "bee-u-tee-ful") and colorful flowers.  Most will be on the porch but some will be in hanging pots, in the front garden, wherever she wants some color.

Here is an update on Mr. Fuchsia

As of yesterday
Next year we will cut him back and begin watering earlier than what the instructions suggested.

Christmas Cactus - just a wee bit confused.

Wishing you a very merry weekend, and who knows, when you look up you just might see me flying by......

April Showers, May Flowers

It's Funny Friday

by Prudence

"Spring is in the air..." ♫  Oh, I love spring, I love looking at the trees with their new, just born leaves in bloom, that new green, I love the smell of newness, freshness, the distant fragrance of wild Honeysuckle....yes, spring is indeed in the air.  And what brings pure joy to my heart?  That glimpse, that fleeting glance of a wee Hummingbird at the feeder, hovering, sipping, and then flying into the woods to a favorite tree branch to perch and guard the feeder.

Hi Everybear, yes I have spring fever, it happens every year.  It isn't being lazy, it's more of just wanting to sit and watch nature burst into life.  I love the early morning sounds of the birds just waking up, maybe stretching their precious little wings, calling to a friend and beginning their day, as I begin mine.

Here are some pictures from our favorite local nursery that we visited on Tuesday.

 

Just my size

Mom bought furniture for Toby 'n Tony, isn't this just the cutest....

"Prudence, I think if we post more pictures we will be in danger of boring our friends."

Okay, Mom, but can I post more pictures from our trip to the nursery next week?"

"Of course, my sweet teddy bear, of course."

Heaps of hugs, a hundred sunbeams, and blessings on all of you.

Flower Rescue?

It's Funny Friday
by Prudence

This may be a first...there are all kinds of rescue, but here is a new one - flower rescue.  Let me explain, M&D  were in the grocery store parking lot and all of a sudden Mom stoops down and picks up ------are you ready for this?  FLOWERS.  No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you.  FLOWERS.  There was this little stem of carnations, light green ones, and she said that if she didn't pick them up some mean, old tires would run over them.  Gulp!
Dad had questions, but Mom was TALKING to the flowers - honest.  She was telling them how bee-u-tee-ful they were and that they were coming home with her and will have a nice big drink of water.
What can I say?  We love her just b-claws (giggle), but you have to agree she is just a little bit "daffy".  They came home and it was all about the flowers, and they sit in the kitchen just as purtty as can be, M says that they are happy.  Okay........let's all agree with her.  (Going to dial up the man with the BIG butterfly net.)

CHRISTMAS DECORATING

And then there's.........Christmas decorating.  I always write about this on the day after Thanksgiving.  It's the day that Mom is transformed from a gentle, loving person to a SUPER MOM-STER.  I'm serious, her eyes are glazed over, she is drooling out the side of her mouth, her teeth are all snarly, she has boxes in every room, yes EVERY room - potty rooms don't stand a chance.  She is shouting orders to me and Dad, LuLu & Flora are hiding in a closet someplace, Molly & Jessie won't come near her.....ah, the loving, peaceful season of Christmas.  Yeah, maybe at your house, but here?  NOT!  I just told you she rescues thrown away flowers and look at her now!!!
We don't dare ask for a turkey sandwich, Dad just goes in the kitchen and makes one for us, I suggested that we put Mom's on a stick and push it at her from a distance.
It's going to be a  l-o-n-g  weekend, but hopefully on Monday our real Mom will be back.  Sunday night she will just pass out in front of the telly, so maybe I will pick out one of her favorite Christmas DVD's and Dad will set it up and we all will snuggle with her and watch together.  But once again she turns the whole house into a bee-u-tee-ful Christmas wonderland.  Thanks Mom for all that you do.

See ya next week....
Heaps of Hugs
