This and That

THIS...
I went to Lowes with the HH and they had their plants out.  I couldn't pass up the hellebore (Easter/Christmas Rose).
AND...
I grabbed a winter cabbage/kale off the clearance rack. We will see how it feels about spring and summer.
THAT...
Comparing toenail colors with the grands.
THAT Continued....
Faux Paw (the tuxedo) is now officially sixteen.

THAT Continued.....

Happy birthday to Faux Paw. Friday was really a bad day to be a motorist in Philly.

Funny how nails were a subject of discussion today.

Great photos! That hellebore is so pretty; no wonder you couldn't resist it. And aw, happy birthday to Faux Paw!

Pat Hatt said...

Happy 16th to Faux Paw. That last sure isn't as subtle as the rest.

Faux Paw looks good for sixteen.
There is a frozen tree in the middle of the road...

Such a fun and creative way to interact with the grandkids. I love it, and that Christmas/Easter Rose is really lovely. Sad to see that happened in Philly. Happy Monday and Hugs...RO

winter still lingers, but buying plants sounds real fun.I start a lot indoors.

CJ Kennedy said...

Lovely plants. A very Happy Birthday to Faux Paw. And Friday was a wild weather day all along the Northeast coast. Another storm predicted for Wed. Is it July, yet?

Jamie Ghione said...

Beautiful pictures.

Sandra Cox said...

So good to see you again, EC. Welcome back.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks from Faux.
Yup, Philly got smacked.

Sandra Cox said...

Indeed, Val. I hope this is the end of the wild winter weather.
Faux thanks you:)
Glad you enjoyed the toenails photo. Smiling.

Hi Sandra - love the Hellibore ... and hopefully everyone will be away from the wintry conditions this week - cheers Hilary

Sandra Cox said...

I just visited your blog. Heh. Great minds, etc. etc.

Christine said...

Flowering kale in spring! it beats the Philly shot. Nice toe nails guys.

Sandra Cox said...

I love hellebore. It's always so nice to see those blooms in deep winter or early spring.
Faux thanks you, Heather:)

Sandra Cox said...

Faux says thanks:)
Yes, that last one is pretty much in your face, especially if you're driving a car.

Sandra Cox said...

Faux thanks you, Alex:)
That tree would be an eye opener if you were driving on that street wouldn't it?

Sandra Cox said...

And a Happy Monday to you, Rockin Ro.
Hugs received and returned.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Jan:)
Philly was scary indeed.
Hugs received and returned.

Sandra Cox said...

Me too, Steve. I'm trying to get some hydrangea and rose starts. I've been hauling them out into the sunshine for an hour or so each day.

Sandra Cox said...

Hang on, CJ, spring is nearly here.......

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Jamie;)

Sandra Cox said...

Aren't they just amazing plants, Hilary?
Fingers crossed we've seen the last of winter.

Sandra Cox said...

That's for sure, Christine:)

Jeanie said...

Life look good in your world. Love your sweet cats. It'll be awhile before we see plants -- though I buy almost every bulb garden I see and I'll plant them in the fall!

Sandra Cox said...

Which reminds me...I need tulip bulbs:)

cleemckenzie said...

I'm grateful that people are eating kale these days. I used to have to grow my own because I couldn't find it at grocery store. Yours looks lovely.

Birgit said...

Love your pics of the Christmas Rose...my mom liked that rose. I always liked the decorative cabbage and one day, will get one. Look at you both with fancy toes but I couldn’t help notice that one has some pain in their feet and I feel bad for that. Happy birthday to your cutie pie

Sandra Cox said...

Kale has gotten to be a popular edible hasn't it, Lee?

Sandra Cox said...

Faux, per usual, slumbered through most of her day:)

Sandra Cox said...

The Christmas Rose is one of my favorites too, Birgit.
My feet thank you:)

Magic Love Crow said...

Happy 16th Faux Paw! Is your Christmas/Easter Rose an inside plant? Cute toes! LOL! "Philly Friday" is scary!! I hope no one was hurt!
Big Hugs Sandra!
