What a week!!
Solar eclipse, spring bursting forth, and terrible winds! At least we didn't lose our power here, but a large part of our city was without power...yesterday, with wind gusts to 50 mph...and still was that way Saturday afternoon. They got it back on late Saturday...at least it wasn't too cold or hot.
This is the only full blossom of two daffs that came up this year. Not sure where all the others went, there used to be quite a few of them....sigh.... |
This was taken at the point when we had as nuch occlusion as we were going to have...it did get a bit dim, but there were still shadows, and all the birds kept singing... |
Look closely and you can see this butterfly's proboscis! |
These butterflies are all over our tree....how do they manage to stay on in these windy conditions!! |
Thursday, probably the peak day of this year's blossoming. Its full of butterflies and bees! |
Look about 1/3 from the top, and find the butterfly! |
Maple Flowers, one of the causes of Petcretary's allergies....Pollen! |
We are happy to be able to join in with The Cat On My Head, the hosts of the weekly Sunday Selfies feature. Thanks, Kitties Blue! |
Once again we have Angels to grieve over in Blogville...
Lightning went to join his doggy family members who went before...

And Gemini also flew away to join her family who were waiting to greet her at the RB.

A while back, Mariette, sent me a couple of images and asked me to 'make them better'. Well, I played with them for quite a while and eventually had them looking much improved. But the background was distracting, so I took that away, and sent the fixed images back to her. Then because I wanted to enhance them some more I put them into 'frames'. She was surprised to receive them, and happy, too. It was my pleasure to do this art for her...anyways here are the pictures in the frames that I made for her. The older ladies are her Mother in law, her Paternal Grandmother and her Mother. Such a precious memory to have.Mariette'sMother in Law, (in wheelchair), her Paternal Grandmother, Mariette and her Mom |

These pictures are all artworks, esp the two that I made for Mariette, so I am joining with the Caturday art Blog hop.

Today we will show you a kitty that came to visit some of the residents where Petcretary works.
But first some other stuff...
Spring might be taking its time, but it is showing signs of things to come!
Our weeping cherry tree is getting some color... |
Its branches have these deep magenta buds all over it. |
The Scilla are in abundance all thorugh the grass and leaves under the cherry tree. |
The dogwood has buds too. |
Which look like alien creatures, LOL! |
Phew, at least it was short lived....we all hope!
Earlier this past week, we had an intruder here...he had a noisy machine too. And he stomped around in the kitchen and in the cellar, too. There was a flood in the cellar when we let the water out of the sink after doing the dishes, etc. Well after a couple of passes with that noisy drain sink of his, he pulled out the blockage...it was a bird!! Yikes, that poor bird!! Apparently it fell into the vent pipe outside....so now there is a cover to still let the air out, but nothing cam fall in anymore.
OK. here is Katie, our pretty calico guest!
We are hopping along with all the other Sunday selfies at The Cat On My Head! |
Hello everyone! Happy Easter to you all!
We apologize for our lack of visiting most of you....sometimes there are things that get in the way of doing that...at least that is what petcretary claims. We have not forgotten our friends, nor abandoned you, BOL!
Anyways here are our Easter themed selfies for today.
We are Easter Hopping...with The Kitties Blue, at The Cat on My Head. |

We did have a few words here, but still, we are joining up with the Wordless Wednesday Blog hop.

Today is Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter.
Petcretary has to be at her work, so we decided it might be nice to have a look at an Easter when the original three that started this blog were still together. 2017, the last Easter for Minko....who'd have thought that he would fly away in just two months...
Anyways here are the selfies we had to show you on that Easter Sunday...a flashback Easter Parade of Selfies!
