 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

Landlord Bob's azaleas are in bloom and look so pretty!   No, mom - I don't want to smile.

The perennial bachelor's button is blooming in this lady's yard~

When mom was shopping for the Miss Molly butterfly bush, she found this bachelor's button and decided that she had to have this too!

The iris's are starting to bloom!

Lilacs are in bloom everywhere and because it's been so humid, the Aire smells lilac-Fabulous!

The redbud trees are in bloom and this one is so striking and gorgeous!

Happy Friday, everybuddy!

 Mom loves butterfly bushes and she really wanted to plant one on this property.  She chose a spot that she thought was best and then she asked Landlord Bob if it was okay and he said yes!

Saturday, she went butterfly bush shopping and this one spoke to her.  Can you see the name of this butterfly bush?   It's Miss Molly!   Is this the perfect choice or what?!

The bush is not in bloom yet but this should be the color that it blooms!

We can't wait to see Miss Molly bloom!

Happy Monday, everybuddy!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

Heading out, we spot a trout lily in bloom underneath our pine tree~

The ferns will be unfurling soon.  That small pretty red leaf is poison ivy. Beware!

Mom loves the delicate Celandine Poppy~

The crab apple flowers are so pretty!

We have lived here for four years and the pink dogwood has never looked so beautiful!

The apple tree is in bloom!  We have had many windy days in a row and thank goodness mom got this shot before all of the petals blew away in the wind~

HA HA, mom!

Happy Friday the 13th, everybuddy!

Love ya lots♥

Tasty Tuesday

 Mom was watching one of the cooking shows on the PBS channel and she jotted down the ingredients to this recipe because it looked very yummy to her.  She had never heard of this dish before and she can't pronounce it and she can't spell it either. The recipe is 2 cans of garbanzo beans, a wee bit of minced garlic, pepper and a couple of shakes of cinnamon.   Heat till hot and then add bread crumbs.     Mom didn't have the amount of the panko crumbs written down so she added them till it looked about right to her.    She added 2 smaller cans of diced tomatoes and a package of thawed spinach and a splash of balsamic vinegar.      Heat till it's hot and you're ready to serve.

Taste tester at your service, mom!

It was a very filling recipe and very yummy and she made enough for a few meals.  We'll definitely be making this one again and cutting the recipe in half!

Happy Tuesday, everybuddy!

 First of all, my sissy gave mom these beautiful Calla Lilies for Mother's Day♥   We will put them outside when it warms up and stays that way.

Secondly,  we discovered that Mrs Robin was no longer sitting on her nest Saturday afternoon.  

And now we know why.  Who would do such an evil thing!   We feel so bad for Mr and Mrs Robin.

Look who will be spending the day with me today!

Have a marvelous Monday!

Love ya lots♥

Happy Mother's Day

Nature Friday

 We are joining the LLB Gang this week for Nature Friday~~

The Money Plant is flowering~

Across the street, the Phlox is blooming!

The wild Cherry tree is flowering~

The tulips are so pretty this year.

This tulip lives right outside our back door.

Can you see Mrs Robin's head?  She's a good mom.  She doesn't leave her nest for long.   We have no idea how many eggs she has.  We are hoping that when the eggs hatch, we will be able to see heads and open mouths.  

Happy Friday, everybuddy!

Nature Friday

 We are joining Sunny this week for Nature Friday~

Our Magnolia is in full glorious bloom!

Each flower is so pretty~

The tulips are beginning to bloom!

If you remember, two years ago, we had a robin build a nest in our rhododendron outside our picture window.  We were devastated when a predator stole her young babies.   

A week or so ago, we had a pair of cardinals deciding if they wanted to build in our rhododendron.  We have never watched a cardinal family build and we were excited but nervous at the same time.  A robin must have been watching the cardinal pair the entire time as they brought over twigs and started to build.   It wasn't long before she decided that this was to be HER spot and the cardinal couple let her have the spot they had chosen.   

This is the Mrs Robin's nest farther off the ground then the last one and harder for mom to see inside to keep an eye on things.  Mrs Robin has started spending more time sitting and  if mom stands on her tippy toes at the window,  she can see an egg in there.   There could be more but she can only see one.   

Fingers and paws are crossed for her~~

Happy Friday, everybuddy!

 We are joining Sunny today for Nature Friday~~

Hurry up, mom.  Stop sniffing everything!

We found lots of grape hyacinths in beautiful bloom!

We have no idea what kind of tree this is but the flowers are so pretty!

The magnolias blossoms are beautiful this year~

Landlord Bob's quince is blooming~

His ornamental pear is blooming too and the reason we know this is an ornamental pear is because he told us☺  Mom is useless identifying trees.

Happy Friday, everybuddy!

Love ya lots♥
