Oh boy………………talk about taking my life in my hands – having the cleaners in on Fridays definitely is doing just that when they are two bulldogs who are bossy and want me to stay out of the way!
Mrs. Broomhilda
Mr. Broomhilda
Needless to say I do stay out of the way……………….sometimes on the stairs……….sometimes in the guest room……..sometimes in Mom’s room…………even the basement.
Vacuum can’t reach up here!!
Or here in the guest room (I’m under the bed)
Or on Mom’s bed!
I’m SAFE!!!!!
Mom wants very much to do some cleaning OUTSIDE – which means “mow the lawn” – but with all the rain we’ve had – every single day – she can’t mow………………so we’re hoping at least for a few hours this weekend the sun will manage to break through the rain clouds and let Mom mow at last.
I did have to SHOOOO a few dust bunnies out from under the guest room bed though before I could move in there for a snoozie……….
I hope you enjoyed seeing our so-called “gardens” in the slideshow yesterday…….the plants are just teeny weeny right now but before you know it they’ll look like something I betcha! Stay tuned because I plan to update from time to time. Meanwhile, Mom was looking at some ideas for a new planter to put on our front porch. Something artsy-fartsy and different…..there are some thrift shops around here and they might have something we can use – aren’t these cool ideas?
Well I hear Mrs. Broomhilda yelling at Mr. Broomhilda to bring the vacuum and stuff UPSTAIRS so now it’s time for me to move DOWNSTAIRS……………wish me luck!
Happy Friday Peeps!!
Hugs, Sammy

Yikes Sammy Mr and Mrs B mean business for sure!..i am sorry you have more rain..but those new plants will thankyou..gives Mum a break from watering which i am glad i have had! I love the yellow dresser idea for a planter..i am always looking for different ideas..we have an old a frame ladder out front..with grape dipping boxes in each step..they need replanting..the whole front needs work now it is cooler..Mr Bunny will LOVE that ! Loves Fozziemum xx

Oh the ladder and boxes make a GREAT planter………our porch isn’t tall enough for that BUT a small step ladder would work! Mom will put her thinking cap on and if we ever have a non-rainy day she’ll go the Thrift Shop and see what old furniture they have!

Love the planter ideas for the porch! Our squirrels would set up home. They have chewed our white rockers… little pests!

You have some pretty BOLD squirrels there! Our squirrels stay away from the house (mostly)……but eating your rockers and every plant you put in a pot would certainly discourage ANYONE from giving them private apartments on the porch like they’d find in an old dresser drawer!!!! I’d say your best defense would be an offense…..put buckets of sunflower seeds in a perimeter around your home and keep them filled at all times – no wait – if you forgot to fill them those squirrels would form an army and ATTACK…..
