The Mamas & the Papas & more spring


I have been invaded by finches this year because I bought the expensive sunflower hearts that they just love......there is usually between 15 -20 of them at one time fighting over this feeder.  I like this shot because it's two males & two females sharing.  I even put up another feeder at the the other window & may now have to get a second job to pay for the bird food:)
 The miniature rhododendron has only flowered maybe 3 times in 20 years....look at it this year!


 So pretty!

 The cherry tree is just opening
 The leaves are finally coming out



 I love spring flowers
 I got some big pots of pansies from the store that were marked down to $5 because someone forgot to water them
 Look how beautiful
 This was taken a few days later.....the cherry blossoms are beautiful this year!



 This is what I see every morning from my bedroom window.

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow.

Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
