Howdy! Today is dust bunny roundup time………….you know how much I love that (not) but it’s gotta be done – so says my Mom. I know you all probably think I’m the boss around these parts BUTTT I’m not – it’s the Mom – the one who feeds me, walks me, soothes me when I’m upset, cheers me up when I’m sad, feeds me (whoops….I said that twice huh?) and most of all LOVES ME!
Thankful for my Mom
So, I’ll put up with the monster and the dust flying every which way – after all, it only lasts an hour or so – my parents are “whirling dervishes” when it comes to housecleaning. They get through this place like a hurricane.
My thoughts on cleaning……
I’m ALMOST ready to show you pix of my plants…………….I’ve kind of decided that when (and if….no…..it’s WHEN not if) Mom decorates my porch with more flowers I’ll update the photos but Mom will be taking photos of all the progress to date and sharing them this weekend.
Our dwarf red maple is GORGEOUS!
Other than these two items of earth-shattering news, I have nothing………….nothing else worth reporting………..I spent my day yesterday napping, napping, and napping so there’s ZIP exciting about that. Just doing what I do best. I did get to go outside several times though – had some grass to chew, some squirrels to watch, and some RUDE bluejays who screamed at me when they saw me out in what they think is THEIR yard.
Yeah bluejay I see ya…..go ahead and screech….I can ignore you!
So you see, after a boring day like yesterday was, monster day just might be a little exciting to this old guy after all……………………….HAVE AT IT MOM AND DAD – I’m psyched!!!

“Dust bunny roundup time”: that’s a good one, Sammy! It’s amazing how those things accumulate, isn’t it?? They don’t bother me at all, but Motor Mommy doesn’t like them…must be a girl thing, huh?

The rain is perfect – Mom got almost the last of the stuff planted yesterday – just some petunias left to plant but they’re out in the rain anyway. Now if they’d just get some LANTANA at the nursery Mom’s yard stuff would be done and we could concentrate on my porch!

We are way behind here in PG. I love the Black Eyed Susan vine myself but I wouldn’t dare plant the transplant until June, otherwise the weather will kill it.
