A Thing or Two About Wordless Wednesday

One thing - I love Daffodils

Two thing - Don't they look pretty?

Three thing - I can't smell them from here

Late Outta The Gate



It's Monday, what can I say. I am cold and tired from the weekend. I just want to lay in my NEST BED and dream. Well, the sun is peaking through right now so maybe I will go sniff around the yard some. We have some apples that fell off the OLD tree (not many and they never got very big). I keep finding them and snacking on them. They are tasty, I swear. But the weeds are so tall in the back that I GET LOST trying to find them. And I don't hear MOMMY yelling for me. And I get in trouble.

So MAYBE I will just stay here. . . in my NEST BED . . . and keep warm and dry . . . and dream. . .

It Happened AGAIN! How Lucky Can I GET?


Yes! Yes! Yes! This happened again!

There was the sound of a TRUCK stopping at our house. So we started barking and barking with an occasional meowing from Sunshine the Cat all to say STRANGERS BEWARE.

Then there was the WHOOSH! sound of something being put on the porch. So we barked some more and more. This was more of a Mommy come open the door QUICK!

Finally Mommy opened the door and I swear I heard a chorus of Angels singing Ahhhhhhhhhhh! And there it was, sitting on the porch bathed in morning sunlight. It looked amazing and so full of promise.



Open! Open! OPEN!!!!! We shouted.

It is still closed. BUT the PROMISE is still there. WAITING. Waiting. Waiting. . .

Safety in Numbers - My Sisters and ME


These are my sisters, Molly and Sunshine. We do not have the same mothers, neither biologically nor otherwise; but we are sisters in every other way. We share a house, beds, food (sorta) and yard. We share laughs, loves, and literally anything else you can think of.

And I like it that way.

How boring it would be if I were alone all the time?

I'd never have someone to grab toys from.

I'd never have someone to complain with when my bowl is empty.

And I'd never have someone to CUDDLE with on cold mornings.

And LOOK OUT whenever a stranger (or not so stranger) comes to the door. It is protective posturing times three! No bad guy is gonna stick around with THAT CACOPHONY!

So. . . I think I will hold on tight to my sisters; because having them makes LIFE that much more special.

Brrrrrr! It's So Cold


This is what I think of COLD weather. I do not like it. It makes me shiver. BUT what I do like about today is the lack of rain. Yes, there are threatening clouds here and there but NOTHING has come of it. Good. It is so cold I think the rain would turn to snowflakes DOWN HERE and I am not sure I would like that much.

But the hills near us (we live in the foothills) and the mountains on the other side of the valley. THEY all got more than dusted with snow. There was more than 2 FEET dropped on Mt Hamilton (no relation). Here are some photos of this very rare occurrence here in Silicon Valley CALIFORNIA!

Chicken Leg Friday



I've got a CHICKEN LEG
But I'm okay with it
It gets me WHERE I want to go
It helps me when I sit
Sometimes I tuck it UNDER me
Depends, on if it fits
There are occasions I let it AIR
Maybe just a little bit

You may laugh or shed a TINY tear
At the mere sight of it
But this CHICKEN LEG is all mine
And that is completely LIT
