Time to do our weekly “FILL IN THE BLANK” Blog Hop with our co-hosts Ellen of 15andMeowing and Annie of McGuffy’s Reader. So much fun to share little bits of odds and ends about ourselves with everyone in the Hop. Want to have some fun WITH us? Good – click the badge above, fill out the Linky Tool and be ready for comments to come from those who have found out a little more about you.
This week Mom is doing the filling in and she chose GREEN for her words………..GO MOM GO!
1. I am the middle child in my family.
2. I have two siblings.
3. I am looking forward to seeing my perennial garden blossoming (assuming Spring ever gets here of course!) this Spring.
4. The first sign of Spring this year was seeing it on my calendar – just because it SAID it was Spring though didn’t mean we could SEE it because we had snow yesterday!!!.
Well Mom and I are wondering if we will ever really have Spring. The snow we had yesterday is melting BUT snow is in our weekend forecast yet again. We kind of think Spring got lost somewhere – like in the Bahamas or maybe Bermuda or SOMEWHERE but it sure isn’t HERE yet!
same here without the calendar we would decorate the house for christmas and not for easter LOL

Spring seemed to appear here, but it was easily scared away by winter again. We have more snow forecast in the coming week or so. We’ve already seen more snow this winter than we’ve seen for years. I don’t mind, but the bipeds say they’ve seen enough snow for this year. As though there’s such a thing as enough snow! 😀

Well we had only two inches when we expected nine inches so I have no complaints. Still, I wanted it to melt quick because I do NOT like cold feet!!! I know you love snow so I’ll hope for your sake you get one more winter snow before Spring comes – walkies in Spring are GREAT too!

Oh Teddy, you are not alone. The Tribe of Five has yet to see a flower or any other sign of spring (unless you count the fact that snow is melting in the front yard). We’re ready for the Humans to get out the pop up catio and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine (but it’s gonna’ be a while, the ski area just extended their closing for two more weeks). We don’t care, felines don’t ski and we’re not that fond of snow.

Our yard USED to be beautiful but as the years have gone by erosion has taken a toll on our yard I’m afraid. Our trees have gotten bigger so there’s more shade and many things that thrived have more of a struggle. Add to that the fact my parents aren’t as young as they were when they had this house built (eeeeeeek!) and they don’t have the energy to keep up with things as they once had. In other words, our yard has seen better days! Dogwoods are so BEAUTIFUL though – we are happy to have three of them!!

It happens to all of us eventually, this aging thing. Shady yards are great and not-so-great. I understand completely. Our yard is, I think, between a quarter and a third acre, and it has more tree canopy than yard, literally. We have so much cover here at this house that we can’t go solar. We aren’t willing to sacrifice this trees for mor sun exposure. I have been sitting out here for the last hour enjoying watching the trees dance in the wind. But, all that cover comes at the cost of sun-loving plants being a thing of the past.
Maybe something will come along to re-energize all of us.😊. Have a blessed day.

Hope you have a wonderful Easter too. We get quite a lot of deer – the woods behind our house extends through our community and there’s a stream so the deer have “cover” and water and of course access to our plants AND bird feeders for sunflowers seeds which apparently are like candy for them. We love seeing the little ones with their Moms coming through the yard……….
