Welcome hoMEOW! Taking a leisurely walk in a nearby meadow, adjacent to the campground where he set up for a weekend getaway, the cheat grass became hip high. Suddenly a little mewling sound erupted, just as a tiny, striped kitten stepped into the clearing, making its presence known. Hoping to catch his attention.  • • • 😺 💛 😸 • • •  Scooping the baby up, her paws barely the size of his thumb, he noticed it was extremely underweight with obvious health issues. Determined to save her life, he drove the little furry feline to a local, no-kill shelter and surrendered it to the staff. His rental lease prevented him from keeping the purring bundle.   • • • 😺 💛 😸 • • •  After a series of tests, medical care, and healing time, the kitten was ready to be adopted. In the meantime, a young couple... 04/06/2025

Remember to SPRING FORWARD or It Might Be...TOO LATE! Set your clocks ahead one hour this Sunday to avoid showing up late and  missing something important, like church, breakfast with friends or showing houses to clients. If you show up an hour late to something like that, you will be kicking yourself...or someone else will be. Guaranteed! Come on Spring, I do love this time of year! Did you know?Benjamin Franklin is credited with the idea for Daylight Saving Time back in 1784, but the idea was not implemented until 1895. It did not become law until 1966. Some states do not participate in Daylight Saving Time and continue to run on the same time year 'round. Talks are in the works to do away with DST. If you ask me, I'd say keep it lighter later in the day. Speaking of day...I wish you ... 03/08/2025

 Nerdin Gardens: An Awkward Flora Party This morning, I overheard the tulips bragging about their 'cup' size. The lilies started blushing, the daisies rolled their eyes, the hyacinth began wilting and the daffodils, embarrassed, pretended to hear nothing and tried to figure out which way to face for the group photo!  The roses, usually a fragrant beacon were feeling a bit prickly, keeping their distance from the other flora, in their disdain. The ranunculus thought it ridiculous, reminding them that a sunshiney attitude was most beneficial for the betterment of all the plants and their audience. Harmonious living within a garden atmosphere takes an all-in, group effort. Same for humans. A sense of humor helps alleviate discord from day to day, preventing a caustic environment. Like the ... 02/23/2025

Worked himself to the bone. He did!  Farmer Green Jeans aka Michael is known, far and wide, for his work ethic. He'd fix fence, pick weeds, feed the garden, trim the trees and bushes, mow the grass as needed, in constant motion from sunrise to sunset on the weekends and then go to his other job, Monday thru Friday. The tireless dedication is appreciated at home plus the people he helps daily at the Supervisor job, hold much respect for him as well. Michael beautifully maintains the exceptionally well manicured, luxury community. All who pass through the decorative, wrought iron gates are left in awe. Through the years, Michael continued working so hard that he began to lose weight. Barely noticable at first but then he lost most muscle tissue, his skin becoming extremely thin. Ever the ... 02/16/2025

 Rooting for Love:   A Porcine Garden Tale  A chorus of sing-song trills and whistles filled the air from up on high. Seven plump piglets were born down below, into a sun dappled garden, where natural light filtered through the copse of leafy-burdened trees. Being of hearty lineage, the journey quickly began the moment their tiny hooves sank into the soft, damp earth.💗  🖤 💗  One adventurous piglet, Percy, sniffed the fragrant petals of a nearby rose. A scarlet-caped ladybug tickled Penelope, while traveling across her back. Benson and Athena tumbled head over curly tails, their squeals echoing against the line of mature trees surrounding their haven. Anthinian oofed softly as a butterfly landed ever so lightly upon his pink snoot. Elsie nipped softly at the low hanging, heavily perfumed... 02/01/2025
