Tuesday, This and That

First of all, no mum does not DRIVE a racy car. She just tells people where to go.... And she does it very well. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Purrs and prayers to all who have been or may be affected by all the nasty storms. It is scary to have sirens, and boomers and nasty winds going on. You all be safe now!

More purrs and prayer for Keisha. She has asthma, and that is not fun.
Plus Derby Day is coming on Caturday. Party will be held as usual.

ManCat Monday

If cats could talk, they wouldn't. - Nan Porter

Well, we won't be talking to mum for a bit. Did she stay home and play and nap with us? NO!  She went off to play with racy cars.

She was a bit farther south and so spring has been a bit longer there. She found the first dandy-lion and things here are a bit greener. 
 
 
 Here is some of the gang hanging about, resting a bit. It wasn't that warm, but a bit breezy. No rain during the day.
 One car got way off and then was all muddy and came in on the hook.
 Trout Towne Tabbies would like this race car, it has a fishy on it.

We on the other hand we were home. Just hanging out.

Caturday

Mum came home from day hunting yesterday and heaved a big sign of relief. Guess she got through working without her normal partner in crime this past week. So that is why she came home a bit later than normal all days this past week.
This is what we will be doing this weekend. Playing and snoozing.
Have a grate weekend everyone.

Garden Thursday

Hello and welcome to Garden Thursday with Me, Virginger.

I had lots of snoopervising to do this past weekend and I did it on my own. Those mancats were off napping!

 No mancats hanging out in the window, just me and mum outside and working!
 First she assembled her little cart for toting things around the yard. Big enough for what she needs and it is small enuf to store in the metal monster room without taking up a huge space.
 Then she starting digging away the dirt from near the front faucet. We have that big round stone slab and mum wanted it to sit even with or just below the porch slab.
 Dig she did, put down weed barrier, put the round stone down and then added lots of little rocks. Those bags are heavy so that little carry thing came in handy.

 Front all done and it the hose leaks, then the rocks get wet, but no mud to make a mess.
 The off to the back to do that one, but mum says she ran out of rocks and will need a couple more bags.
 But enuf done to move the hose back, the extra rock will go in front.
Then we finally have flowers and lots of them! This first one is in the back and the first daff to open in the back yard.
 Then in the front, lots of daffs plus the crocus are still blooming.

 The little yellow things look like daffs but they are only a few inches high, so really tiny daffs!
Here is the biggest clump of daffs in the front. Mum isn't sure if these are old ones that didn't get dug up, or if they are new ones she planted.

Plus the four-sith-ia is finally starting to bloom. Now mum says she really thinks it is spring once this plant blooms.

Bizzy week here, more to do in the next week. See you then. Love, Virginger.

ManCat Monday

Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well. - Missy Dizick

We hopes everyone had a marvelous Easter weekend. We did, as on Sunday we got a super treat.
See how warms it got?! Mum opened all sorts ot windows, including the big windows that go to the floor! They were open all afternoon.
 

We enjoyed it so much and so did mum. Smelling all the fresh airs, listening to fevvers singing like crazy. They are out and looking for love! Soon we will have baby fevvers.

We hope you have a good week.

Happy Easter


ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE
I LEARNED FROM THE EASTER BUNNY

Don't put all of your eggs in one basket

Walk softly and carry a big carrot

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears

There's no such thing as too much candy

All work and no play can make you a basket case

A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits

Some body parts should be floppy

Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans

Good things come in small sugarcoated packages

The grass is always greener in someone else's basket

An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare

To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey

Happy Easter from Derby, Ducky, Mum

Caturday

HiYa, Ducky here.

Well, mum says she has work to do, but sure isn't getting going on it today. Says she has to get motivated. Wonder what store sells that!

She did get enough motivated to put out the hummer feeder this morning. She made up the sugar water last night and has a good supply to start the season.

Mum told us we need to watch now for the hummers to show up. It will be soon. So Derby took over part of the tower.

  I sat on the table for a bit, then move into the little house on the tower to watch. 
Plus I love to smell mum's jacket when she has been outside. All sorts of neat smells.


Happy Caturday, Happy Easter Eve and all.

Mum says she has found a bit of motivation, so guess she will go do her chores.

Happy weekend.

Garden Thursday

Hello and welcome to Garden Thursday with Virginger.

Welcome my friends to the winter that never ends! Yes, we got a little bit of snow this past week. The top picture is from the back on Monday evening.
 These next three are from Tuesday AM. You can just see my back sitting down below the fake gull! Yes it was cold out, but I am a hardy squillion who can take the cold.


But at least it wasn't cold enough to snow over the weekend when we got nearly 3 inches of rain! Man, if that had been snow, we probably still wouldn't be shoveled out!




 Like the boys showed on Caturday, we do have a few flowers. The older crocus are pushing up and blooming in the front bed through the old leaves.

 But here are a few new ones that mum planted, these are yellow. Mum even thinks some of our bulbs didn't get dug up with the destruction last fall, so some old and new daffs and tulips are up but not yet bloomed.
Ducky being my buddy and helping to snoopervise from inside. Love ya dude!

That is it for this week, see you soon. Love, Virginger.
