We saw this beautiful stargazer lily in our garden, and we'd like to present it to Ariel and Mao Mao in honor of their wedding day.

Travelling Last Week

Our mom and dad beans abandoned us last week, they were away. The son beans took care of us. Dat was fine, but we's glad ther back home.

Here's some places they went:

They visited a waterfall -



















It was beside this historic flour mill -



















They liked this so much, they visited another mill -



















They called it a sawmill. It is also historic......that means old, but younger than the flour mill.

One more mill -



















It's a windmill and it is not at all historic. It's modern and kinda short for this type of windmill. It was spinning so it must have caught the breeze.

Next...... nope, not another mill!



















This is da ocean. See the reddish water.



















This is part of the beach nearest the water, lots of red sand. See the strange patterns the waves make?



















These beans were enjoying their day at the beach.
They decided to take a walk, but the tide was coming in!



















Yikes, their chairs need to be rescued!



















Mom said dis gull was taking it all in it's stride, hoping for picnic leftovers.

Min: While mom and dad were gone, I spent my time relaxing -



















Moe: Me too, there wasn't much going on -

Wednesday Wash Day

What's going on mom?










It's wash day?


Let me check these bed sheets.



















They look fine, I'll help you wif dem later.

Oh, these bath towels have been drying outdoors.


















They smell interesting.

I think I can reach da window to have a look outside.










I see something yummy!




Kinda small, though.







Mindy, did you say you see something yummy?



















Yep, Moe. Mom calls dem 'hummers' but never mind, there's only one and I saw it first.



















What ever happened to sharing, I wonder?

Not The Mama Monday

We want to surprise Morgan. He has done so many great things to help kitties.






Mindy: Well done, Mo



Moe: Thanks for all you do to help kitties.

Tabby Tuesday

Mindy: I am watching our beans tidying up da house. They needs to do that cause they made a mess in da kitchen. Something called renovating. We are supposed to have visitors staying overnight. That means I will have to hide. I was hoping for things to be back to normal It's anything but around here lately.




Moe: I am in da kitchen but there is nothing exciting happening right now. By that I mean no one is in here making a meal or getting some snacks. Only mom taking my picture. Please, somebean hurry and open the refrigerator. It's my job to check it out and see if there is anything interesting to eat.

We don't haf any pictures to show you because Blogger is giving us trouble with the uploading, and we've tried for over a half hour. We will have to try later.

Sunday, Remembering Friends

Yesterday, we honored Sprout and said farewell. We exchanged hugs in her honor.

























We gave and received lots 'n lots of hugs.





That was a good thing to do because it helped us not to feel so sad. There are also others in the Blogosphere that have left us recently. We take time to remember them and their families. To them we wish comfort and peace.

For Violette Noelle

We light these candles
























their light brings these words into our thoughts,

"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven
Where the love of our lost ones pours through
and shines down on us to let us know they are happy"

(inspired by an Inuit legend)









It is good that we join together today and honour "Sprout".
She has a special place in our hearts.




































always.

Wednesday, a few words

Mindy: Can you see me?



















I am helping mom. We are in da attic and mom has some sewing she wants to do. Dat's where mom sews and puts alla her sewing junk things. I like to nap behind her chair. It's kinda cramped for a bean, but just right for me. I love to hang out up there. Lots of hide-y places too.

Guess what? Moe is a scairty-cat! Last night there was some thunder rumbling. Nothing big though. We were having supper, and right after a (small) boom, Moe ran off to hide. But not me, I got to eat my dinner in peace wifout him wantin' ta share mine. I am beautiful and brave.




















Tall Son is getting my picture again.
Look! I have lazer eyes and my tongue is sticking out. Mom, can you show him how to get a better one of me? She says that the camera's on-board flash is awful and that you have to be careful taking photos. Time for him to take some pictures of Mindy now.......yeah practice on her for a while.

"Needs" meme

We saw this 'name' meme at Stryder's page and also at The Cat Realm and they saw it on Luxor's....well....you get the picture, right? It seems fun and really simple.
