Hi Peeps! Yesterday was picture perfect – start to finish it was gorgeous. YES it was cool – only got to the low 60s for a high – BUT not a cloud in the sky and only late in the afternoon did it become breezy. My Dad got to go flying too which made him happy.
Yep – this is my town – Warrenton, Virginia, from the air!
Dad putting his baby away after his flight………..
Mom and I were home all day yesterday and I must have asked her 87 bazillion times to take me outside for some fresh air. It was great – and the grass is finally growing so I got some “fresh greens” while I was out there.
Things are popping up – the dicentra are blooming and even the miniature Japanese Maple is just about ready to leaf out. You might be able to see some of the Bradford pears in the background in bloom along the driveway. NICE!
Anyway, I’m happy and even though today it’s going to be raining – we need the rain………………gets the lawn fertilizer activated AND waters our gardens for FREE. Nothing wrong with FREE right?
Yeah I guess you could say I’m a happy guy…………………and lucky……………oh and SPOILED TOO – don’t forget that one!!!!
HAPPY THURSDAY!
Hugs, Sammy
It’s amazing to see that your dad can move a whole airplane with one hand!!! I’m sure after your dad welcomed spring that way we will get better weather now… I just saw some sun rays between the clouds :o)

SAMMY! Seeing you out there enjoying the warmer temps and the grass makes us happy here as well. Seriously. I love to see you happy. Tell your dad that mommy trained on a old Piper J3 until she “graduated’ to a Cessna. A lower end Cessna. She said she just used what the air strip had available for students. When she soloed she was saying all the instructors words aloud to “talk” herself through. Heeee.

Good morning Sammy,
Thanks for showing me where you live. Looks like a great town and area.
I’m glad things are growing and blossoming in your yard again. Here, our Bradford Pears [http://tinyurl.com/j4qsghv] have already shed their blossoms and are now a nice green.
Btw, could you send us some good rain? We did have a little lately, but after a January and February without any measurable precipitation we still direly need good and long-lasting rainfall. But I’m happy you can now munch on some green grass. Our four-legged crew likes that, too.
As to fertilizing: I need to do that soon. Just now I’m having our soil analyzed to find out which fertilizer and how much.
Hope your Dad will get more air-time soon.
Have a great day,
Pit & the feline crew
