Save me

Shaggy thought he was bringing me a present tonight. I thought it was a bird at first and 

I screamed for George ( like I always do) and he ran right over.

He knows I'm useless with things like this. 

With 6 cats this is a common occurrence.

He covered him quickly with an old pot and slid a plastic banner

 under it.  We carried him to where we thought his mommy was. 

Being careful to not frighten him....hope the big blue hands

didn't scare him too much.

Happy Ending

A giveaway win and a new member

Today it rained and not just rain, but down poured.

I think we received all the rain we didn't get in all of March and April.

 Remember the warm spell we had in March?

It was wonderful but I knew it would turn into a cruel joke Mother Nature likes to play

on us who depend on the weather for our livelihood.

Last week after freeze warnings for the whole weekend

 we had a solid week of rain and cloudy days.

It's ok though because we all need a break now and then.

I caught up on a few things.....not as many as I should have.

I will never catch up and the list will never end.

About a month ago I received a lovely gift in the mail from Suzy of Suzy Qu's Threadworks.

I was so excited and photographed everything right then but when 

I looked back at them I decided that they weren't up to par.

I had taken them too late in the day and they were a bit flat so I vowed I would reshoot them on a sunnier day. It was worth a try.

Well sunny days came, and sunny days went and I kept busy with 

......well too many things.

 those plants sure are demanding:)  even if they can't talk.

And so I tried but once again the lighting wasn't great but I didn't want to wait any longer.

Suzy is an artist when it comes to sewing and could probably make just about anything. She has a real talent for putting fabrics and

different elements together. Some people just have an eye for that.

I urge you to see her blog and her creations.

You won't be disappointed. 

When I get some time during the Summer I hope to make a few things with what she sent me. 

As bloggers we are so lucky to have friends that send us sweet gifts like these. As I write this I'm touched that someone that lives thousands of miles away from me, that I may never meet, who lives in a country I may never get to see would take the time to collect up pieces of their collection 

to share with me. How special is that? 

Suzy I love everything you sent and am so happy to have met you.

And now I'd like you to meet a new family member of ours and another reason why I have been extra busy.

Our new sweet baby boy Petey. He's a rescue we got about a month ago. I can't believe it's been a month and I'm just showing him now. George thought I should wait until I knew how it would work out. I was so excited I was telling everyone. 

That's kind of the way I am. George is the opposite!

He's like a steel trap. 

Me I'm ?<;(*^#))blah blah blah!!!!!!!

what do you want to know??? which is why blogging is so hard for me sometimes. I have to restrain myself.

Ok why am I talking about ME? see!

Well I have to get to sleep, it's really late and so I'll tell you about Petey another time.

Say Night Night Petey.

Actually he's already asleep and snoring.

Ok this may not be anything you would get excited about .......but for me it's like finally entering into the 

21st century. 

 We finally have internet at home!!!

We ordered Infinity internet after realizing that all our tv channels were gone.....well not all, but nothing good. 

It's been over a month that we ordered our bundle plan but with our work schedule we just haven't had time to set it up. Actually it was Georges job.....I'm not touching that stuff!   When we misplaced the instructions then things really didn't progress at all. I'm blaming him for that too....lol     

I kept getting annoyed that I even decided to change over now. What do I care if I don't get any channels anymore? I'm not home to watch anything anyways.  All I care about is watching The Daily Show and the Corbert Report at 11 pm.  

At that time of night I just want a good laugh....
and then I can sleep like a baby and have happy dreams

Ok enough babbling for one morning. 

Here's a few more photos for ya.

Liking the new format for uploading a post too.

Reminds me of Windows Live Writer which I use often.
Bigger area to write in and uploading photos was much faster.
Not as fast as live writer but an improvement.

Way to go Google.... but I'm still not changing my template:)

Thanks so much for all your lovely comments.

It really makes my day and I hope to get more time to reply.

Until then I hope you get to spend some time in your garden or at least spend some time outside! 

The World Wide Web is a Wonderful thing 

but so is nature!!!!!

Like you needed me to tell you that:)

Spring flowers

Seems I’ve been absent from the blog world……again.

though I have been thinking of you and this little blog of mine quite a lot.

Getting any screen time has been difficult but I’ve enjoyed being

outdoors and watching the season progress.

Seems when I have more to share,  I have no time to tell you about it.

Isn’t that just the way it is sometimes?

    

Seems like ages ago when we had these pansies, now we only have a few left.

 Only the yellow ones.

Doesn’t anyone like yellow anymore? 

The daffodils where better then ever this season. I dug up more 2 years ago

and moved them around and they are filling in well. 

The early heat this spring made them come on sooner then normal.

I was worried they would go by too fast but thankfully

we went back to normal temperatures so they stayed around longer.

The last 2 days have been like summer weather.

This is the strangest Spring I can remember.

Winter one day Summer the next : )

As some of my other daffs are ending my Thalia daffs are just coming in.

The whitest of all daffodils and not overly tall.

Of course we can’t forget the poppies.

Do you have a favorite spring flower???

Happy Easter

It’s a beautiful crisp sunny day here in southern New England.

It couldn’t be a better day.

Hope you are spending it with good friends and family.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!
