Thursday in the Garden

:: 3 paw taps ::

Today in the garden we will be looking at my favorite flowers the gerbera daisy.
We have several in our garden out front...Aunties favorite color is the pink...they are very vibrant and add a nice pop of color in the flower bed.
We both like the yellow ones too...we have a lot of purple and yellow flowers in our garden...

This year, our neighbor gave us one of my favorite colors...an orange one! I love the brightness and the earthiness of this color.

Well, that's our garden...please check out more fabulous flowers at the Society of Feline Gardeners.

PS - We spotted our bird visitor from last week again this morning. We will be on the lookout and hunt once again to try and catch him.

In the Garden

We made it into the club and are so excited...of course, we may need to get a new mom, since she left her camera at home, and is having to use old pictures today. She did go out over the weekend though and photograph our garden, but those pictures will have to wait until next week...she is such a slacker!

We have a finch that always builds a nest in our ferns hanging on the front porch. This nest is last years, but this year, she laid 4 eggs. Only three hatched though...

The hybiscus, before it died over the winter. Mom has a new one now and it is the same color...The birds love to sit in it, as it is right under their feeders.

Gerber daisy's are always so pretty...they are Auntie's favorites. We love how they come back every year, which means less money spent on flowers and more left over for toys!

We aren't being allowed out at the moment. The spring/summer allergens are here and so Smokey can't be around them. Also Auntie read about an increase in a disease carried by ticks, and how this year is supposed to be a bad tick year in our area, so we don't want to risk getting sick. We are ok with that...being in the cool air is just fine :)

F is for...

F was actually pretty easy...here goes...
FRIENDS and FAMILY ...Devon and Tanner are brothers and best buds.

FISH - Charles is happy to be on the blog again. He is a betta fish.

FROGS!! Tanner is dressed like a frog for Halloween...he looks thrilled doesn't he? :)

FLOWERS!! Spring is breaking out all over these days, and soon we'll have tons of flowers everywhere. I took this picture at the State Fair last year.

More pretty flowers...this color of lantana is my favorite.

More Flowers...these were at a farmers market in Minnesota. So beautiful.

FLAIR-UPS...Mojo had really bad allergies, and he would flair up around his mouth. We were lucky that our vet at the vet school would let us submit photos of him, so she could track his progress.

FIBROSARCOMA - in this picture you can clearly see Mojo's tumor. It had many lumps and bumps on it, and a few sores. We were lucky that it never ruptured or oozed. Mojo was still enjoying what little bit of life he had left here...

Tomorrow is the letter G...
