Tuesday

One of those titmice flew on the porch again. This time with Frank in hot pursuit. I got the cat in and the bird out. Slow learner? I think so. 
AND...
Pictures from the garden. As you can see in the first pic, the weeds are alive and well.
This is the inside of the above Iris.
Sitting on the tool shed.
Our Christmas Amaryllis decided to celebrate Easter instead and opened up Easter morning.
I got a giggle out of this and thought you might too:) Thanks for sharing, Tony.

My palms smell like lilacs.

There’s sneeze-snot in my bandana.
Mind the six-feet rule
Back off, Jack.
Toilet paper Shortage
Tear me a page out of that paperback.
Empty meat coolers
Spam is king.

Who started this mess?

Close the schools
Makes no difference.
Work from home
Love that Kelly Clarkson show.
Take-out only
Not gonna happen.
Consumers panic
Hoarder freaks.
Stare into the refrigerator
Thought the food fairy may have stopped by.

Anybody getting laid, these Days?







A mouthful of chocolate chips
I’m on my third bag.
Jonesin’ for shrimp and grits
A new culinary challenge.
Goodbye social life
My wife is okay to hang out with, 
but . . .
Conspiracy theories
Blame the Illuminati.
Remembering the good old days
Looking at old photos and my

Will gasoline suffice?
Confusion
My colonoscopy has been canceled.

Sext me, please.
Bonding with my dogs
Love those mutts.
Imagining the worst
What if I die and they find my porn?
Hoping for the best
It’s just allergies.
Pessimism reigns
No baseball this year. I just know it.
Thinking about confession
Not necessary, I’m just a 
low-level  sinner.  
COVID-19
Hope I live to write about it

Love the iris. And that journal is a hoot. Of course weeds thrive - they do it to show the other plants how it is done. And sadly many of the plants I want to keep are slow learners.

I didn't notice weeds among the riot of colour.

Valerie-Jael said...

Fun post today! Your garden is looking good. I've been busy sewing masks, too, and gave them to elderly neighbours so they have some protection - a lot have dogs and need to go walkies with them! Hugs, Valerie

L. Diane Wolfe said...

My Christmas Amaryllis is blooming, too. Not sure why it always waits until April.

Jeanie said...

Loving your masks and your pretty garden. That tight shot of the iris interior is really beautiful. And who is that handsome cat atop the cabinet -- he's beautiful! Love the journal. I've started an art/writing journal of the covid. I need to go dig weeds in the sweet potato garden. Looks like I won't be hiring the garden warrior this year.

Sandra Cox said...

My plants must be cousins to yours:)
I thought the journal was hilarious too:)
Elbow bump.

Birgit said...

Your garden looks so good and that close up almost looks like it’s waiting for some prey. Glad you have masks and they are pretty. Those memes are funny and chocolate has no survived but I did get rid of my porn:)

Sandra Cox said...

With the exception of 'You're the best writer ever' (Ha) that's one of the nicest things you could say to me. Thank you.

D.L. Finn said...

Beautiful flowers:) I can't wait for some of mine to start blooming. Loved the journal!

Christine said...

Yes, weeds. I did enjoy Tony's journal, thanks!

Love the pictures of the flowers.

Magic Love Crow said...

Birds are attracted to your home!! You should put a bird feeder on the inside! LOL! Love the picture of Frank on the tool shed! LOL! Loving all the flower pictures, even the weeds! LOL! "Thanks Tony", LOL! Very funny! Big Hugs Sandra!

Sandra said...

I'm sure Frank would approve of your idea:)
Thanks and thank.
Wasn't Tony's journal hilarious?
You stay safe. Stay healthy.

Sandra said...

Glad you enjoyed it, Val.
Good on you for the mask making! That is wonderful and I'm sure much appreciated.

Sandra said...

This is the first year mine has done that. Surprised me.

Sandra said...

Thank you, Jeanie. I can't take credit for the masks, though I like them too.
I love the idea your journal will have art work in it.
Frankie, thanks you. He's preening about it:)
Take special care. Good luck with the weeding:)

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

My iris haven't even stuck their heads out yet. And my roses are mere memories. I'm loving your garden. Frank helping around the garden probably helps (grin). Loved that journal. Had to laugh because it's so honest.

Hot guys said...

Those are some nice masks, and some awesome shots, girl! :)

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Birgit! I hadn't thought about it, but it does look like it's waiting for prey.
Tony did a great job on the journal, didn't he. Ha on getting rid of the porn.
I can't take credit for the masks. That's all the SILs.
Stay safe. Be healthy.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Denise! Looking forward to pictures of your blooms.
I loved that journal too:)

Sandra Cox said...

Glad you enjoyed the journal.
Unfortunately, my weeds thrive.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Milentry.
I followed. Your post was great and most helpful.

Sandra Cox said...

I'm anxiously awaiting your irises.
Frank's idea of helping and mine differ:)

Sandra Cox said...

I got a kick out of that journal:)

Sandra Cox said...

Thank ya:)
The SILs did a great job on their masks:)

Lee said...

My little abode is situated on 3 acres of land (I'm down one end...and my landlords' home - with them in it - is up the other end). There property is filled with many trees...including about 12 avocado trees. He, my landlord, does all the gardening. They have a greenhouse wherein they grow vegetables.

Keep taking good care, Sandra. :)

That sounds absolutely lovely, Lee.
