Ketch-Up Day

 

For those of you who celebrate, did you have a lovely Easter?

Ours was quiet, but very nice. Hope yours was as well. 

 

                                             Easter flowers and vase from the HH.

What did you do to celebrate the day?

AND

 


 Can you find all four critters in the picture?


AND 

The first irises of the season.


 

  

AND

Look I have baby grapes!

 


AND 

Evening Garden Shots


 

 


 AND

OMG. It's raining pollen.  We've never had this much pollen!


 

AND

Here's the four critters. Did you find them all? If so great job. If not: They do tend to blend.


 That's it for Tuesday, Blogger Buds. Have a glorious one.

The irises are lovely. I could see where the 4 critters are, but I don't know what kind they are other than the beautiful kitty. Princess and I had a lovely, restful Easter after accomplishing a lot on Saturday.

Love,
Janie

I thought I could count three, but in the end I decided it was just a jumble of cats.

Donna said...

Love Iris! SO pretty! And I love kitties... The pollen is heave here, as well.

Since we do not even acknowledge Easter, let alone celebrate it, our weekend sailed along as normal. And very pleasant it was, too.

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Well, I found three...
The pollen was very strong this year.
While I ended up sick this weekend (a rare occurrence) we did celebrate the resurrection.

All your flowers are beautiful. I can't wait for mine to come up. I saw some good friends and my daughter and son-in-law for Easter. It was great!

Jamie Ghione said...

Love the cats and the flowers. And flowers is my post for today.

CJ Kennedy said...

Oooh, I love that vase. You Hubster has good taste. I thought I found all 4 critters. I mistook black spot on the back of the large, white kitty, is that Frank? I thought Frank was a grey Tabby. Anywho, that black spot on his back with the hairs all sticky-up, I thought was another kitty behind him. Your iris and garden are gorgeous.

Christine said...

Beautiful irises. Tough quiz.

Sandra Cox said...

Janie, So glad you and Princess enjoyed your Easter. The other critters: a small heinz dog:) and 2 tabbies.

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Beautiful photos, Sandra. I couldn't find the 4, but the cat that is most prominent is gorgeous.

Sandra Cox said...

I'm glad you had a good one, David:)

Lovely post Sandra ... the irises look beautiful.

All the best Jan

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, CJ. I love blue-patterned dishes and ceramics, don't you? Frank is a ragamuffin (ie. ragdoll) rescue. I do have two tabbies: Louie and Callie. That picture is a tough one, what looks like tufts standing up is actually a cat brush but there's no way anyone would have known that. Glad you liked the garden and irises. Enjoy the rest of your week and your celebration this weekend.

Jeanie said...

I found three of the four! Love your Easter flowers -- he did well! And the garden is looking great. I enjoyed the evening shots, too.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Like Jeanie, I found three of the four.

You have a stunning garden, whether it was day or evening. Love the hostas and the irises. And a great gift from HH, too.

Nas said...

Beautiful photos. I'm glad your Easter went well. We had a tropical cyclone roaring through our country!

Sandra Cox said...

LOL. A jumble of cats and a dog:)

Sandra Cox said...

Three is good, Donna:) I'm with you. Love irises, kitties. Hate pollen. Ack.Hugs received and returned.

Bellas flores. Te mando un beso.

Susan Kane said...

The irises are lovely. We called them "flags" in our farming community. Why? I wonder.

Hilary Melton-Butcher said...

Hi Sandra - I thought the 4 critters would be cuddled up together - well one outrider! The Irises are gorgeous aren't they ... and I love the HH's Easter bouquet for you - cheers Hilary

Birgit said...

Wow! That's a lot of pollen. Your flowers are so beautiful in colours. I l9ve that vase and...I saw 3 critters. I thought the 4th was under the main pussy cat but that's just her fur coat.
My best friend came over on Saturday and we watch " What's Up, Doc" and laughed a lot! Sunday, my brother took me out for brunch. Hubby was wide awake at 2:30am, so he couldn't make it. It was nice to reminisce

Sandra Cox said...

Sorry to hear you were sick, Alex. Hope you are much better now. Yup, the pollen is extremely strong this year.

Sandra Cox said...

Glad you had a lovely Easter, Natalie:) AND my flowers thank you:)

Sandra Cox said...

Jamie, Heading over to see it now:)

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Christine.
They tend to blend, don't they?

Sandra Cox said...

Thank you, Linda:)

Sandra Cox said...

Sandra Cox said...

Jeanie, Good job on finding three:) Thank ya, thank ya:)

Sandra Cox said...

Three out of four is excellent, Elizabeth:)
Thank you:)

Sandra Cox said...

A tropical cyclone? Good grief, Nas. I trust you and yours are okay.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, JP. Sending hugs,

Sandra Cox said...

Susan, Because the sword-shaped leaves look like flag reeds--marsh plants. I looked it up. Heh.

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Hils, I love irises:)
Thanks, he did good on the bouquet, didn't he? Lots of colors and flower types.

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Birgit, Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. Good job on finding 3 critters:)
