Just another Monday right? I think of Monday as “the day before Teaser Tuesday”……….I bet some of you do too! Speaking of that, I’ve got a DOOZY for you tomorrow. It you ask me, it’s downright impossible to figure out where this photo was taken – it looks a little bit spooky to me in fact. But you’ll just have to wait and see for yourself. Tee Hee
I spent the weekend enjoying VERY much seeing so many of my friends drawings by Thomas Dalsgaard Clausen, the artist at http://onedrawingdaily.com. We just think he’s incredibly talented to have captured so many of you in his drawings; some done in ballpoint pen, some pencil, india ink – a variety of media but he just has a knack for capturing the “spirit” in each of us I think! If you would like Mr. Thomas to draw you, contact him through his website. He’s on a mission to do a drawing a day for two years………I’ve put the drawing he kindly did of me on my blog front page. I just love it. Thank you again Mr. Thomas!
We had a WHOLE weekend of “Spring”……I’m a very happy boy……….I got to go out and enjoy the weather, and Mom got the lawn mowed for the first time and that’s when I know Spring has really and truly Sprung!
I hope that I’ll see you all tomorrow for the Teaser………..remember please that it gets posted every week at a DIFFERENT TIME…………….I just randomly choose a time and it gets out there to all of you………with the time differences, I’m sorry that some of you don’t get to see it as early as others or even AT ALL……but it’s still fun to tune in when you can and see everybody’s guesses and the comments………….just plain fun!!!
this bleeding hearts are the cutes plants on eart… I always think they were invented by a sad Princess :o) I’m ready for tomorrow… and I would say…. Maine Usa :o)

I agree about the bleeding hearts…..one thing about them even though they’re gorgeous is that they are POISONOUS…the deer are smart and know not to eat them so Mom loves having them in the garden – it’s one thing that we can enjoy when they flower! They do look like little sad hearts don’t they? As for your guess for tomorrow’s Teaser…..I’ll just say this – I hope you like the color GREEN.

Hi Sammy,
Those Bradford Pears look ever so pretty. 🙂 Ours have leaves only yet, as we only planted them a few days ago. But we’re looking forward to them blossoming next year. That, in combination with the Redbud we planted in between, should look ever so pretty in spring.
Your Mom and Da did a relly great job with your garden. Kudos to them.
I hope that you’ll be able to enjoy the garden a lot soon, with spring coming to your neck of the woods, too.
Have a great week,
