Ketch-Up Day


How are you? How's your weather? We are in the middle of a drought.  I mowed Sunday. Pollen was flying like dust.  Of course, I didn't think about wearing a mask till after I started hacking:) We desperately need rain. For those of you who are getting too much wet stuff, feel free to send it our way:)

AND

Pics from the Eternal Garden.


 The blackberry bush. (See the pollen hanging on it?)

 


 

Pollen on the pavers and more in the grass.

 


The amaryllis and more pollen. Tired of hearing me whine about the pollen yet?;)

 

AND

This is so weird.....My onions started sprouting in the pantry.

AND

Maise

 

AND

The HH is in a poetry writing challenge this month and here is one he wrote yesterday:


When Words Appear

     Despite plausible theories,

     No one can really say

     Exactly how words

     Become available

     Just when they are needed,

     Nor why they hide so carefully

     In the tall grass

     Of our minds

     Creating a thicket of frustration

     When they don’t.

     There’s such a slim margin

     Between just OK words

     And the magnificence

    Of putting the correct words

     In their places.

 

 That's it for now, Blogger Buds. Been doing anything fun and exciting?

Ketch-Up Day

 

What's going on in your neck of the woods?

Same ole, same ole here. Take care of critters. Write. Garden. Repeat.  

And speaking of 

The Garden:

My special needs Irises:) See how low to the ground some of them are blooming?


 




The fairy was from the Easter Bunny:)

 







The Critter


And last but not least

From Colorado

Thanks, Julie.


YOU, have a grand one.

Ketch-Up Day

 

We have several of these guys hanging around the neighborhood.  Do you have bluebirds in your area?

How is your week going? Feeling okay? Doing anything exciting?

Same ole, same ole here. Read, write, reset.

AND.....

Frank overseeing the unloading of groceries.

Lots of rain last week.  

Added to the water that was already in it and the rain 'barrow' overflowed.

Does anyone grow rosemary? Mine blossomed this year. I've had rosemary for years, as you can tell by the size of my 'bush', and it's never flowered before. I didn't even realize they had flowers. The heavens and the climate must have aligned this year.



 

March calendar shots.


I got to see my bro and SIL from Illinois last week and on another day went out to lunch with buds. Definitely a good week. Hope yours was. 

That's all, buds.

It's Ketch-up Tuesday

 

Hope you had a great weekend and that your week is off to an excellent start.

For those of you who wonder and the many who don't (hehe), here's 

A Day in the Life of Frank:

Keeping an eye on those dratted birds.

 

Making sure everything's okay in the house when he is on the porch.

 

Helping unload the groceries.


 

Helping fold the grocery bags.

 

Keeping an eye on the neighborhood.

 

Helping with the laundry.

 

Practicing his mountain climbing skills.


Taking his afternoon nap.

 

Spending time with his buddy.

 

Making sure no one is sneaking snacks.

 

Stopping to smell the flowers.

AND

All tuckered out as another righteous day comes to a close.

It's Ketch-Up Day

 

Did you have a good weekend? How goes your week?

It's been pretty quiet here. Frank of course, is always on guard against intruders in the backyard. 

 


Except when he's sleeping, which is about fifty percent of the time:)

 

What do you do with your crock pots when they die? Here's my brother's solution. That's stevia by the way. I'd love to grow some if I could find it.


AND


 Okay, mushroom aficionados.  What kind of mushroom is this?





That's it, folks. Short post today.

Ketch-Up Day

 

Is it better to be a PO'd cat or a peed on attendant?

OMG. Frank loathes going to the vet. Actually the word loath is too tepid. But he had to get his teeth cleaned so I packed him up and away he went. While there, I asked them to go ahead and groom him. After grooming, they turned the fan on him to dry him. He backed his hinnie to the fan, peed into it and sprayed them all.


 AND

The swallowtails are still flitting around.

From Minnesota

Thanks, Meghan.


 From Florida

Thanks, Shane.


 


Thanks for stopping by, friends. Hope you're having a good week.
