Photo Hunt - Wither

This tall perennial grass grows beside our driveway.  It is probably about 7 or 8 feet high and  it goes by the name of giant silver grass.   The long green leaves have 'withered' and were blown away by the winter winds, leaving behind these tall, dried stalks.    Now that  spring has arrived, these old stalks in their state of 'wither' will be cut back to allow the renewed growth to take over.

To see more participants, go to Photo Hunt

  

Moe:  I keep looking out of our window hoping to see lots of green grass.

I can see our planter where we grow our catnip - that is definitely in a state of wither!  I keep looking to see if it will grow again.  I am impatient, waiting is hard.


Mindy:  Lots of fog and wind outside, when I looked out of our window.

However, we have been told that it will be a sunny day tomorrow - after all it will be SUNday.


Cookie:  I am going to spend my day here in the music room/office space.

I have my choice of comfy office chairs to occupy.


Mike: Aw, you caught me taking my bath!

See, my toes are clean!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!!

Monday Morning

Moe:    First day of the week.  Tradition says that it is wash day

Therefore I am starting the week off right!


Mindy:   This is my favorite viewing spot - up high enough that I can see what goes on, when it happens, and who is planning to sneak up on me.

  

Also, I think I look good up here.



Mike:  My nose is healing up.

I still like to be first at meal times, so what's a few scratches when securing my position.


Cookie:  I decided not to pose for a photo session.

It's highly over rated.



We hope everyone is having much better spring weather than we are.  If so, could you send some of your warm weather our way?

Friday - Not Looking Forward to Weekend Weather!

We are supposed to get bad weather this evening, before midnight.  First rain, then on to freezing rain, snow, and eventually back to rain by tomorrow.  

We are simply going to ignore this situation.  We have many ways.  Take a look:


Cookie:  See my disgusted look.  When will I be able to go out on the deck again?

I want to see some nice green grass.  Will it ever turn green again?  
I will take a snooze while I wait.

Mindy: Oh, there's that darn flashy box!  I am looking a little bit crabby.

There! that's better, now I don't have the green 'lazer eyes' look.

Moe:  I just had a big fat idea.....

..... I know where to hunt for those delicious cat treats!!

I am almost certain that I saw them hidden in here!


Mike: Whatever,  I will stay comfortable right here.  Moe works best on his own.

However, if Moe does find something tasty - I'm right there!  

How are all of you going to spend your weekend - complaining and disgusted like we are - OR - are you going to share some exciting and/or interesting news wif us.   Show us some nice green grass, or some bright flowers, or some bird TV!   Well, you pick!!! 

Update!!!

As of 10:00 pm this evening, we looked out the door to see this, which is just getting started:

It is endless Winter even though it is officially Spring - however, Spring is not back from vacation yet.

How to Spend Wednesday

Photo Hunt - Quirky

We are participating in this week's  Photo Hunt.   The theme is "quirky".  One of the definitions of quirky is: A sudden sharp turn or twist.

We looked all around our house, we had almost given up, but there had to be at least one quirky thing that we were missing.

Then we looked up - and there it was!  That oddball plant that hangs over the table that we like to nap on.

It is certainly twisty and quirky.  Its formal name is 'hindu rope hoya', sometimes it produces waxy clusters of pink flowers.  Oh, another name for it is 'wax plant'.  

                                        *****

Moe:      that is probably more than you all wanted to know about this plant!  I am going back to my job, which is looking out of the windows just in case there is something exciting going on out there.

Mindy:     Yep, Moe, that is important, so I will keep watch out of this window.   

 Please don't tell our hu-mom, that I am on the table!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Fractious Friday

Mike:    Dang, I wasn't fast enough!!   Mombean says I have a way of looking for  trouble.  What, me?  I guess I should have dodged, instead of lunge.  

None of the other cats have marks on them at all - it's always me.  Why?  Mombean says it is always me because I am the instigator.    I am not sure what that means, is it a compliment?


(PS mombean:  their claws are kept trimmed, but still sharp enough!)

Wordless Wednesday

Mindy

Moe & Mindy

(our typist is busy, photos only today)

April 1st - No Fooling!

Mindy says:

Yep, it is raining today - this is a true fact.   We really can't complain.  This is because our weekend was almost perfect!  Lots and lots of sunshine, and it was even warm.  That was good.

Not so good fact was - our human beans went away overnight on Friday to grandbean's home.  This kind of made our weekend less than perfect.  However, our 'beans have returned and all is back the way things should be!!

Now here's the 'no fooling' part - over at grandma's house are these wonderful flowers!  We do not have any of these, nor any of the honeybees that visit them.

Moe says:

 Our yard needs to have some of theses awesome purple flowers, in fact next year we must have some.  Wouldn't you agree?

I am serious, I am not fooling!

Wednesday - Feels Like Winter

Cookie:  I wanted to go outside this morning to see if the grass is starting to grow.  I am disgusted!  There is NO green grass.  

Just look at this - it is snowing - again.  Didn't Spring arrive a few days ago?

Mindy:  Don't bother going outside Cookie, just find a comfortable spot indoors - why not settle yourself near the portable heater.  Perhaps  our mombean will turn it on for us.  

There you go, feeling better now, Cookie?

Monday Morning - Sleeping In

We'll curl up until lunch time.     Lazy aren't we?
