Thursday in the Garden

Today's Thursday in the Garden is brought to you by the color PINK!

::meowww:: 

 The azaleas in the back yard...

 The Peony in the front yard.  On this day, it had taken quite a beating from the heavy rains we were having. 

 Closeup of an almost open bloom...

 The knock-out rose bush by the front porch.  This is not the one with the baby bird in it...

Finally, one of the Gerbera Daisy's that have made an appearance.

To see more lovely gardens head over to Master Gardener Jonesie's site...

Today we show off two bird nests...

 This one is in the hanging ferns on the front porch.  It has 4 eggs...we believe three are mocking birds and one is a brown-headed cowbird.

This nest, with just one baby is in the rose bush.  There were two babies, but one didn't make it, so mom pushed it out of the nest.  This baby is thriving though!  This is also a mockingbird.

Mancat Monday

Tanner would like to show off his skills today...he is practicing for the "stuff on my cat" award!

He has the following on him:

1. red rabbit
2. purple catnip pillow
3. green rabbit
4. green catnip fish
5. catnip mouse with long tail
6. neko fly attachment
7. two pieces of broken yo-yo

Not too shabby for his first attempt!

Wordy Wednesday

 Yesterday was Smokey's Gotcha Day...I am such a slacker!  My boy has blessed me for 17 years now. 

Smokey as a wee kitten...his gotcha story is posted here.

 Smokey has always loved a comfy spot.  He loves to lay on fleece even in the summer!  He is about 5 years old in this picture...two weeks after this was taken we moved into the townhouse. 

Here is Smokey at 17 in his favorite morning spot, sunning in the breakfast nook! 

 

Looking forward to spending precious time with my Goose this weekend.  So glad to have found him.

 Today we have Tanner looking out the window dreaming of all the fevvers he sees...

I wonder what Tanner would think if he saw these two lovely swans in his yard?

I took this photo last month when in San Francisco for a business trip.  They were lovely and so calm and so HUGE!  These are some big birds!
