Double Post Day!
(First of all sorry for the confusion yesterday – Mom ACCIDENTALLY hit “publish” instead of SCHEDULE for this post and you got a notice a day early! We quickly deleted it – but here it is again on the RIGHT DAY!!!!!!)
First part of my blog today is for THANKFUL THURSDAY. Today I’m VERY thankful – Why? Many things but today I’ll tell you just one reason – Spring is popping here finally. As recently as one week ago we had a frost/freeze warning but for the last several days we’ve had WARM temps and the little leaf buds on the trees are bursting open in leaps and bounds! Our pink dogwoods have pink blossoms and the little dwarf Japanese maple has leafed out – the maple was my FAVORITE spot to stay cool in the summer and we think Teddy has figured that out now too!
Want to share what you are thankful about? We are sharing by joining Brian’s THANKFUL THURSDAY blog hop………..all you have to do is click the badge, go to his blog, use the LINKY TOOL and enter your blog address – SHARE with all of us what you’re thankful for. EASY!
Now for PART TWO of this post and that’s my Thoroughly Poetic Thursday post……………….this week we are up to the letter “R” in the alphabet so the poem needs to be about an “R” thing!
“R”
“Rabbit”
By Sammy Kimmell, April 13, 2017
It’s a well known Easter habit
Watching out for the Easter rabbit!
He comes when everyone is sleeping
On bunny feet he does all his creeping
He hides eggs around the house
He’s QUIET as a mouse!
Kids will carry their baskets around
To see how many eggs can be found!
Sometimes the bunny leaves candy –
The basket will sure come in handy –
For carrying around all your treasures….
Such fun is impossible to measure.
Easter Rabbit makes everyone SMILE
Makes older folks feel like a child.
The Easter holiday would not be complete
Without those visiting RABBIT feet!!
Next Thursday we will celebrate the letter “S” as we make our way to the end of the alphabet for the second time here on the blog! I hope you will join us – it’s not too late to join in today – you can write a poem and put it in my comments OR if you have a poem done on your blog – leave us your link so we can HOP over and read it! Try some poetry – you’ll be glad you did!!
Love, Angel Sammy

The dogwood at your house is beautiful! I wish we had some pink dogwood. I am glad Teddy is finding the wonders of outside time like you did Sammy. I remember when you said you used to go out early in the morning and your Mom held a flashlight. Always supervised of course. Has Teddy checked out the porch yet? Rabbit for R, yes! Easter would not be the same without the Rabbit! I have some great Easter memories with the Easter baskets and hunting for eggs! I wish I could tell you how many times I have hit publish instead of preview! Enjoy your Thursday Angel Sammy and Teddy!

We just love the pink dogwoods – have two in front and one “cream” color in the back. I really miss those early mornings with Sammy – it was fun and I think he looked forward to it as much as I did. Teddy wants to go outside in the morning but NOT with the harness so I just need to teach him that if he won’t wear it – we don’t go outside! Sammy wore the harness when it wasn’t light out for almost 17 years so if HE could do it, Teddy can! Teddy LOVES the front porch though – he goes out there with David and me when we have “evening porch/wine” time. I still hide Easter eggs for David every year…..yes I do…..!!!!
Love, Pam

Beautiful blooms, Teddy. The early warm temps here made a lot of the flowering trees here blossom early and then the cold came back and most of the flowers didn’t last very long. So we are very thankful to see yours.
We love the Easter Rabbit, but those pesky ones that invade our kingdom better watch out – steer clear of Sibes!!!

I did that once with one of my Saturday Squirrel posts, which suddenly became a Friday Squirrel post since I hit publish instead of schedule. It seemed like too much hassle to fix, so I just left it. I don’t use email notifications, so I was blissfully unaware of the premature post…. and had I seen it, I would’ve just blamed Suzie’s Granny for it. She looks like she’s never up to any good…

You are right about Suzie’s Granny – having heard her attempt at a cheer perhaps everyone realizes where Suzie’s cheering “talent” (cough cough) came from??????????? Yes the uhoh post will go down in history as NOT one of my finest hours.

Sammy, that is a most excellent poem. You really captured the fun and anticipation of the Easter Bunny. Our poem is about Mauricio Roaming. We’re a day late here (guess we made up for you being a day early…MOL). I bet anyone would love finding you in your angel bunny suit in their Easter Basket. All our dogwoods are blooming, and they look meowvolous! Sending lots of love to all. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
