Colorful Friday!

Posted on September 25, 2015 by onespoiledcat

Oh boy! Well, even though Mom deserted me this morning for an overnight, I intend to have a GREAT Friday. Mom has decorated my front porch with some colorful mums so at least I have a PRETTY spot to pout that she’s not here right? See? I’m looking on the BRIGHT side! Here’s some pix………

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Mom also took an updated photo of the most UNUSUAL display we have around our house of plants that she put in this past Spring. Mom LOVES lantana…………she bought FOUR plants this Spring and planted them around the shrub by the garage………this is what they look like now (and no she didn’t even PLANT petunias there – they are just “pop-ups” from a couple of years ago when Mom had petunias there):

FOUR PLANTS? Looks like at least TEN!

The trees are starting to change too! The maples and dogwoods are always first………well, poplars maybe too – they turn yellow FAST. I’ll bore you to tears with photos of THAT too one of these days. In the meantime, I’m going to go find Dad so I can annoy him with my incessant wailing about missing Mom, taking me outside on the porch, giving me treats, BLAH BLAH BLAH. Someone has to keep the old guy on his toes while Mom’s away right?

Hugs, Sammy the Pest

I miss you today Mom….Happy Birthday!

Poor Sammy! 😞 We are also without our humans today as it is boy-man’s birthday and they are going away. We hope you are not too sad without her! Xx

  Bella and Esme I think your boy-man and my Mom-lady are celebrating their birthdays on the SAME DAY! September 25??? I bet my Mom-lady is about a bazillion years older than your boy-man though! Hope he has a wonderful birthday and you girls don’t get TOOOOOOOOOOOOO lonely!

Your Mom did a fantastic job decorating the porch! And around the house! Maybe you need to send her by to do ours! But then, it would mostly be for the deer. They come by and eat nearly everything we plant. Even some plants that are supposed to be deer resistant.
I hope you won’t be too lonely today, without your Mom. Enjoy your “with Dad time”,

Our mom loves lantana as well. She planted it in our front pots this year, and it is still going strong, along with some of last years flowers, which as you say, “popped up.” That happens just about every year. We loved the slide show. You are looking terrific, Sammy, and the flowers are so bright and beautiful. Be a good boy for your dad. Love and best wishes to Mom Pam.
