Nothing worse than being scolded by a crabby ginger tabby

When does Dee Dee resort to her crabby scratchy meow?
Let's see...
When she wants a drink of water
When she wants her pre-bedtime snack
When she wants a drink of water
When we've been gone all day
When she wants a drink of water
When she's locked out of the bathroom
When she wants a drink of water

The air is sweet with rain-kissed hyacinths and lilacs

"We would do well to slow down a little, proceed at the optimum speed for our circumstances, focus on the significant, lift up our eyes, and truly see the things that matter most."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

The garden is all decked out in green for St. Patty's... guess it won't get pinched!

Sweet surprise: We harvested the first fruit off the Moro blood orange tree

With hope, the Moro blood orange tree was planted
Tended and pruned, it set its roots
Blossoms came
One showed promise of fruit
Months of waiting
To harvest
Then slice
An exotic orb of sweetness

Tom Tom kitty: The supervisor of spring

Tom Tom kitty perches at the picture window.
He must supervise the coming of spring.
All birds must be counted.
Every ray of sunshine must be soaked up.
Outside, bulbs reveal their brilliance
Turning Tom Tom's picture window into
A Monet painting
For a season
