Gardening on Thursday

Pop bought some broccoli plants to put in our garden and left them in the bathtub overnight- this is what they looked like the next morning!!!!!  Guess who the nibbler was....Tabitha!  She is not admitting anything at this point ...but we have witnesses!!!

Tabitha looking very guilty.

 

Our yard is just lovely with color - pink and white azaleas, dogwoods and our irises are coming up. Pop did plant lettuces, herbs and some new broccoli (ahemm...., Tabitha clearing her throat)) plants too. He is putting in potatoes and more veggies later this week.

Hope you enjoyed the garden tour today - we are not officially part of the Thursday Garden Club but will post now and then on how things are going!

Looks like we have been invited to join in on the Thursday Society of Feline Gardeners hosted by Jonsie.  Even tho we can't go outside we can report on the garden thru our windows!!!  Please do visit the other gardens on the main page here.

On another note - we had a scary night again with all the storms that devastated AL and GA passing over us in the early morning hours.  Mom stayed up with us and kept an eye on the TV and computer radar.  Luckily our beloved mountains broke it all up and all we got was thunder and rain.  We are sending our prayers to all who suffered in the tornadoes last night.

Wild Wednesday

Only in his cat tree.

We will be having some wild and stormy weather today along with the eastern part of the country.  Another day of hiding from the big booms and hoping we will be safe from the winds.  We will be sending happy thoughts to all of you in the stormy areas today - be safe.

Tortie Tuesday - In Memory of Sweet Praline

The blog world lost a very special friend when Sweet Praline left her mom Paula and us all on April 25, 2011.  Tortie Tuesday will never be the same.  Sweet dreams dear one.

 

A Bridge Called Love

It takes us back to brighter years,
to happier sunlit days
and to precious moments
that will be with us always.
And these fond recollections
are treasured in the heart
to bring us always close to those
from whom we had to part.

There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us

It's the bridge that we call love.

Happy Easter!

 

Wishing you all a very blessed beautiful Easter.  We hope you get lots of goodies in your basket.  By the way...Yoko wants to know if you have seen her basket...she is subbing for the Easter Bunny and is getting all spruced up for the occasion!

Thank you for all your concern over our wild weather last week.  Mom has been laid low with a sinus infection after her stomach virus.  Hope to be all better soon.

We Are OK!

Our pal Kim from Fuzzy Tales emailed to see if we are alright.  We just wanted to put up a quick post to let everyone know that we are OK!  Mom and Pop have been real busy  and then we had bad storms with flooding in our area and tornadoes in the eastern part of North Carolina over the weekend but none near us.  Mom came down with a stomach virus and is just resting up from that.  We will be back to blogging later this week.  Thanks for your concern. See ya later..


For more coverage of the tornadoes in NC visit the Raleigh news story here.  Please send extra prayers for those who lost family and homes during the tornado outbreak in NC, VA and SC over the weekend - 22  people in NC lost their lives.  A very scary sad weekend.
