Ketch-Up Day


How are you? Are you having torrential storms or, like us, in an extreme drought?  We had a little rain Saturday and the birds were literally dancing in the street.

AND

 More Eternal Garden pics

 


The baby Robin has already flown the nest.  I saw a Robin yesterday carrying building materials. I don't know if it was Mom or Dad or a different Robin. If it was Mom, that bird needs a vacation.


 Little black (green) berries. 

 

The squirrel must have got interrupted burying his nuts since he left a couple behind and an unfilled hole. 
 


Not the usual  visitor to the bird bath.

 

 

 


 And last but not least, a gift from the HH

AND

Critter pics

AND

Another Poem for the April Challenge from the HH. The prompt: Dog-eared.

Dog Ears

Dogs come with all manner of ears

Long and floppy

Short and erect

Ones that tip

 

My dog’s ears are

The short tippy kind

Usually forward and tipped

But sometimes flopped back

 

She can also extend them sideways

Looking like Dumbo about to take off

She can also do one flap down

Sometimes the right, sometimes the left

 

I am guessing there is

Some meaning to that

One thing is certain

She hears what she wants to

 

Kind of like people

 

That's it for now, Blogger Buds.

You get to hang out with a lot of adorable animals. Each one is a treasure. It's dry as can be here, but Monday was cooler and it felt good.

Love,
Janie

Your garden is very alive. It's not great to be lacking in rain. We know the feeling well here.

It certainly irritates me when I get interrupted burying my nuts! Did I just say that? I think I did!

We're getting a fair amount of rain too. My tulips and daffodils have come up, but it's a bit cold to plant my annuals. I love all your flower pictures.

Weather in my area has been weird! Often getting to muggy. Very tiring.

Sandra Cox said...

You do for sure, Andrew. The droughts and the fires. It's ghastly, isn't it?

Sandra Cox said...

Heh.

We've been on the torrential rain side and boy, is everything lush and green. Kind of cold-ish, but green. The dog poem is darling and so reminds me of the late, great Jack! And of course the cats and flowers are smashing!

Birgit said...

Ohhhh your pup is just so cute! Your kitties are also very sweet. I love all your photos, your garden is lush despite no rain. We have had rain every day which is why my pain is bad. I love the gift you go from HH…it is cheerful and so pretty.
