Sunday's Walk on a Monday

 We weren't able to get out until noon on Sunday.   It was so foggy and wet but it was warmish!

I wanted to be king of my snow mountain again but the snow was soft and I was falling through~
Hang on - I'm getting it~
Got it!
I was pretty wet went we got back home but it was such a fun walk after waiting all morning to get out!
The grass is starting to show.  Maybe we will see flowers this spring after all!
Happy Monday!
Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

We didn't walk every day this week - we had rain, we had ice and mom went to the eye doctor  on Wednesday (our most beautiful day) and he dialated her eyes so walking on a beautiful sunny day sadly couldn't happen.

This beautiful scene happened last weekend.  It's landlady Maryanne's pond.

We found dried stuff too~
I did get to walk safely on the road~
And I was king on my snowy mountain!
At home, we are loving the blooming orchids~
This yellow one hasn't bloomed in forever so mom is so happy for her plant lights!
Will surprises never cease - she even had an African Violet bloom!
Happy Friday!
Yes, this is the latest puzzle~

A Gift From Molly

 Guess what?  Molly sent me a purple squeaky ball yesterday for HER birthday!

I was having a blast making so much squeaky noise!
I sure wish that I could have met you.   Thank you so much, Molly♥

Happy Birthday, Molly

 Many times, I think of all of the treasures that I left behind when Molly and I moved from Old Post Rd in Northford to our fenced in apartment in Hamden.   And then it hits me that YOU were my greatest treasure, Molly, and you were my best friend, who always had my back.   

This was birthday number six, the last one you had before we moved back to our old neighborhood, Molly, and it was so much fun.    

Happy Birthday in heaven, Molly.    I miss you so much and you will never ever be forgotten♥

Love you lots and lots and forever and ever♥
Mom

Sunday Selfie

 Mom and I were out playing in the snow yesterday and guess what?   She fell down in the snow!  She didn't realize until we got back inside, but all of the photos were blurry except for the first three.  I guess her camera got wet and she's checked it and the photos are fine now.  Whew!

Happy Sunday!

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

Mom's orchid is blooming!
Both Amaryllis's have lost their blossoms but look at the new greenery!  Do they ever bloom twice in one winter?
I did get outside to play yesterday and it was a beautiful day!
Don't ask me why but mom brought piggy outside instead of a ball.  She said he has a long tail and hopefully it will keep her fingers dry for a longer period of time and she was right!
I did get to romp in the snow which is still pretty deep in places that haven't been walked on yet~
Happy Friday!

Thinking Thursday

 As expected, we did get snow on Wednesday morning - not a lot but enough~

Mom and I went out the back door to see if it looked any deeper than before.
She spent yesterday morning shoveling until her back was aching. She promised me that we would play in the snow today.
I'm counting on it, mom~
Happy Thursday!

Love ya lots♥

Fourteen Inches

 The snow is up to my belly!  We have fresh snow on what was already here. 

We have breezes and the temps don't reflect what it really feels like and you can see that the bench behind me is loaded with snow.  
We were only outside for fifteen minutes~
I had a blast and of course, mom said "enough"!
When we got back inside, her fingers were so cold that she had trouble removing her gloves that were wet from throwing my ball and she could only imagine how cold my legs and feets were.    The snow is wet and yup - a snowball all over my furs kinda snow.   

The weatherPeeps tell us to expect one to three more inches this morning.   Playing outside is going to become impossible!

Love ya lots♥

Blizzard Monday

I needed to do business, so mom took me out.   In this kind of weather, we access the rear garage man door.   

I did pee but mom  didn't get that shot - not that you wanted to see it anyway.   She allowed me to poo inside the garage.  Bless you, mom!

Farmer Will arrived at 3am to plow.  Because the winds are still so strong, the plows are plowing but with the superStrong winds - the roads are getting covered back up immediately.  
Will let mom know that he will be back♥
And because today is National Dog Biscuit day~~

We haven't lost our power and we continue to pray.  

Happy Monday!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy today for Nature Friday~~

Finally - a day to get out and walk!
Mom took a picture of a Yucca plant in the snow~
And then we came upon the Sycamore tree with wet stunning bark!
Guess what I found?   
Do I need to be afraid of this balloon?
Getting closer and more confident~
Can we please take it home with us, mom?!
We still have lots of snow here and the weather peeps are calling for a big snowstorm on Sunday going into Monday.  We shall see if they are right.  
This week, I have a rose for Rosy!
Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥
