A Quilt for Me

My Auntie Lydia had a birthday at the end of January, and for her birthday she had a gift give-away and one of the items that she gave away was an Aire-sized quilt and mom and I were the lucky winners!  

 She GIVES gifts for HER birthday.   How cool is that!

 This is the back of the quilt.  It's polar bear fabric~

 And this is the front.   It's all hearts and it's so pretty and so colorful and it's all mine!

 Auntie Lydia said that it was MINE, mom.  Just remember that!

Thank you so very very much, Auntie Lydia.   I have never ever had a handmade quilt of my very own.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

We are joining Rosy for Nature Friday today~

We had the most beautiful sunrise earlier this week~

 Mushroom umbrellas growing on the tree.

Something smell yummy here~

 The woodpeckers have been busy on this dead tree~

 That's the secret garden behind me.  It's inside the round stone foundation wall that's collapsing year by year.

 There is nothing inside to see.   Mom dreams of having a garden inside these stone walls.  Oh well~

Happy Friday, everybuddy!

Dr Seuss Day is Coming

Dr Seuss Day is coming and I couldn't be more excited!  Mom grew up reading Dr Seuss books and I just happen to think he's such a wise man and he's also lots of fun! 
This picture is from a few years ago.  Angel Mitch and I are reading books that mom had as a youngster~

 Chimera and I will be hosting Dr Seuss Day on Saturday, March 2nd.  I was so honored to be asked to be one of the hosts!

 It's one of my favorite days of the year!
You're going to join in, right?!

I can't wait for the fun to begin!

Love ya lots♥

Frosty Morning

We had a frosty morning and I have less furs to keep me warm~

It's okay.   I am a very happy girl☺    Temps will be climbing to 60 degrees F today but they won't stay around for long.   My paws are still crossed for a beautiful snowstorm SOON!

Love ya lots♥

Rude Monday

What do you mean bouffant head?!

That is just plain RUDE!

Early Spring

What do you mean an early spring?      I haven't had any fun in the fluffy wonderful snow yet!    
Take back what you predicted!   It's poor judgement on your part!

Nature Friday

We are joining Rosy and her family today for Nature Friday~

The stream very close to the end of our driveway.  The water is still running underneath the ice.

 Should I go for a skate on the ice?

 I decided that it would be a great idea☺

 Right before we got to the duckie pond, a lady stopped her car and dumped a bag of foodables over the fence for the duckies.  

 That's not boring bread!    She's giving them apple cores and all sorts of other yummy looking stuffs!

 Do you see it?   Over to the very far left behind the tree.

 It's a slide for the duckies!  What fun!

 Too bad this tree isn't on the OTHER side of the fence.  The duckies would have a neat spot to hide~

Happy February, everybuddy!

A Snuffle Mat

Amazon just delivered an interesting new toy for me.   Mom was at Luke's blog and the Snuffle Mat is one of his favorite things to do to keep him busy when it's cold out so mom decided that I needed to have one too.     I have never had a Snuffle Mat before.

 She unrolled it and hid 6 treats underneath the woolly rolls for me to find.   I "think" I found them all.   I need to be sure~

Thank you for letting mom know about the Snuffle Mat, Luke!  What a SuperFun toy this is!

Love ya lots♥

Mini-Monday

It's been cold here and mom decided that today would be a good popcorn and mini-series day.    She has been watching Call the Midwife and LOVES it!

 She's gotten into a lot of the PBS mini-series and is thoroughly enjoying them. Before Call the Midwife was Poldark and before Poldark was Mr Selfridge.  She loves them all!
 It's fine with me as long as there is popcorn once in awhile!

 Yes, please.   I'm up for another one, mom!

I just love popcorn!

It's been seven years since our sweet Maggie left for the Rainbow Bridge. We think about her all the time.
Maggie and her best friend, Mitch♥

Nature Friday

We are joining Rosy and her daddy this week for Nature Friday.

These pictures were taken on Tuesday after our ice storm.   We were so happy to be able to get out and walk once again!

 There are icicles hanging all along this fence rail~

 The Weeping Cherry tree was so pretty all covered in ice crystals!

 We couldn't believe we saw a snowman.   It was brutally cold yesterday and there was more ice on the ground than snow.   The kids that built this snowman get high praise from us and he's a great looking snowman!

Yesterday we had lots of rain and winds and warm temps for this time of the year and our snow is all gone.
  
Mom didn't bring the camera on our walk with us this morning and guess who we saw.   The llama out for her walk - and her name is Carousel!     I got within 8 feets of her but was afraid to get closer. I kept sniffing the Aire from where I was but I wouldn't go near her.  She was so calm and her peep was so nice.   I hope we get to see her again soon.

Happy Friday, everybuddy!

Love ya lots♥

Walkies on Tuesday

Mom decided at 11 am, when it warmed up to 17 degrees F, that we would go for our walk!  YAY!
It took FOREVER for her to get ready to head out the door.   She had to make sure that I had Musher's Secret on my paws and that she had her Stabilizers on.   
She decided to play it safe and go through the garage and out the back door to avoid the icy steps.
 I am one happy girl to be outside and going for my walk!

 You can't tell by any of these photos and it's really a shame but all of the ice covered bushes and trees look they were covered in diamonds and with the sun hitting them it was blinding and so sparkly and gorgeous!

 It smells like Christmas out here~

 We are 100% positive that this is the tree branch (what's left of it) and fell on the wires and caused us to lose our electricity.   A couple of hours before we lost our power, a fire engine went by the front of our house with his siren on and he stopped at the corner just a short ways down the street and we could see a backhoe moving to the scene.    
We feel so fortunate that we were only without power for 3 hours and it was at the beginning of the storm so the temps weren't that frigid yet.    One of mom's friends on facebook that lives in Bethany, CT,  about 20-25 minutes away from us, lost her power and she was without for 28 hours!   We can't imagine how cold it got inside her house.  Luckily, her electricity has been restored and they are warm and happy.

 That a beautiful day even though it's cold and nothing is melting.   The wind is not whipping today, which makes it feel almost balmy!

Don't post that picture, mom.  It makes my hiney look HUGE!

Love ya lots♥
Molly
