A Chilly Tuesday Walk

 We had freezing temps overnight for the second time this week.   Mom and I were both dressed in winter coats and she had winter mittens and a winter hat on and she wasn't hot!

We are seeing lots of pretty tulips~


We are still seeing lots of daffies!
Mom was superExcited to see the Bleeding Hearts blooming!
We need to check at home and see if ours is in bloom too!
Happy Tuesday!

Love ya lots♥

 I got a Cuz squeaky toy.  He's a good Cuz!

Mom says that the Airedales had a larger orange Cuz once upon a time.   He's the bad Cuz because he has little horns.  
 My purple one has an awesome loud squeaker and I really like him!
Happy Sunday!

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

Spring is everywhere!  We are seeing our first tulips this year!
The Star Magnolias are in bloom~
White ones~
Pink ones~
This Weeping Cherry is in our backyard~
Today, it's been two years since Molly passed and I am wearing her tennis ball bandana in memory of her.   
Mom has never mentioned this on my blog before but Molly and Mitch passed on the very same day years apart but mom didn't realize it for a couple of days later for obvious reasons.   Mom misses her Airedales so much but Molly especially♥
Happy Friday!

Sunday Walk on Monday

 Mom switched up our route again and made it longer.  She is loving the slightly warmer temps!   She was overwhelmed by this long stone wall with daffies and hyacinths in front of it!

No peeing on the grape hyacinths, Duke!
The glory of the snow flowers were everywhere!
The forsythia is finally putting on a show!
Happy Monday!
Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

Earlier in the week, when it wasn't so cold that I needed a coat, we discovered a beautiful shrub coming into bloom~
The Weeping Willow tree is beginning to leaf out~
The maple tree "flowers" are mostly all over the ground now~
The Forsythia is coming into bloom!
Happy Friday!
We have new equipment for our computer that mom is attempting to hook up.   If you don't hear from us, it means she failed.  Don't worry.  We'll get there!

Love ya lots♥

It might not look cold but it was in the low thirties with wind chills and blustery winds~
Seriously - is this really April?!
Happy Wednesday!

Company on Saturday

 We are celebrating Easter with Missy and Tommy today!

Yesterday, mom saw her dermatologist and as soon as she got home, she went to work making Nonna's Easter Meat Pie and of course, I helped!

She wouldn't share ham or genoa salami with me but she did share cheeses.  Basket cheese is good stuff!

Those who have never heard of basket cheese always ask............Because it comes in a basket!
Mom decided to use scamorza this year instead of provolone so we shall see if we like it better.
The eggs and ricotta get mixed together but not before I got to taste the ricotta~

This is the Easter meat pie before it baked for over an hour and a half at 350 degrees.   Mom isn't the best at a lattice crust.
And this is the Easter meat pie just out of the oven~
This morning, she will be making Nonna's Rice pie and lasagna and Missy will be making a salad.  
 
Happy Saturday!
Love ya lots♥

Once again, our temps turned coolish.

Finally, we spotted mini-daffies blooming.   Mom has been keeping an eye on this patch for a whole week!
There was one white crocus at the end of Landlady Maryanne's driveway~
Mom continues to work on her puzzles~
She says that this one was harder than it looks!
Happy Friday!
