Is it finally spring?

Today, it finally felt like spring around here. Despite the wind still hanging around, the sun was out, and the temperatures were great.

Spent some time transplanting some little garden plants from small cells into little bigger pots to keep growing until I can get them in the garden. Hung out on the front porch enjoying all the new blooming trees and flowers for a while this evening.

Went for a little hike on Saturday. Chase enjoyed meeting some new characters in the park shop.

I am ready for spring now and to get my vegetable garden started. Next weekend is the flower and garden festival in a town near us so looking forward to getting some new flowers and plants there as well. Do any of you have any festivals starting in your area?

Have a blessed week!

Rainy Day Snoozing

It’s a cold rainy day here. Days like this with nothing specific we have to do leads to some napping. Especially on the animals’ part.

I think it’s a good day for a hot meal and a good book.

But the cats think it’s just a good day for sleeping and cuddling. Chase decided that if you can’t beat them, then join them.

So at least all the animals are comfy cozy this morning.

Hope ya’ll are doing well this weekend!

Weekend Coziness…

We have rain on the horizon again this weekend. Seems like a good day to join Cooper in his nap.

He’s a basket case as he loves to get in my laundry basket every time I do laundry. The other day, he fell asleep in the basket after I got all the warm laundry out. I guess there is no better place to snuggle up for a good nap than a warm laundry basket.

Have a good weekend!

Happy Belated Valentines Day

Chase had a very ‘sweet ‘ valentines day. He got a special cookie.

He needed a little help to break it up to more manageable pieces, but that made more cookie to him.

Hope you all had a sweet Valentines Day! 💝

First of February

Love is already in the air. While walking down town today before an apt. I saw this…

Everyone just stared as this lady walked down the street with a balloon bigger than she was. Someone is getting a sweet surprise. 💖

Never a Dull Day

With this guy in our house, it’s never been a dull day. His newest thing is taking naps in my laundry basket when it’s empty.

Then it’s heavier then it should be when I go to get it and guess who…

He’s also his playful crazy self zooming around the house, to then jump on the couch as if to say… do you see me mom?

What a character and keeps things lively as kittens do. Got to love him ❤️

It’s actual snow…

I say it’s “actual snow” because it’s more than a dusting of snow… so far, it’s about 6 inches or so, and the snow is still lightly coming down.

Chase has been enjoying watching the snow when I’m cooking or baking. He loves the snow until his little paws get too much snow on them. We have tried snow boots, but he will not have that, so I just keep an eye on him.

Today is a good day to stay in (working from home) and stay warm. Last night, I made a warm-up supper of brocolli cheese soup from scratch. It was yummy and filling. Tonight, I’m making hubby’s request of chili cheese dogs, green beans, and applesauce. Good night for a fire and watching a movie. 🔥

Hope you’re staying warm today if you have snow too. ❄️

Snow day breakfast

Snowing here, the first good one of the year. Got up and made a good breakfast to help fuel us for chores later. Made some healthier apple pie spice pancakes.

A good breakfast to give us the get-up and go for today. Got the fire going inside, and everyone is settled for the day in the chicken coop.

Hope you’re r having a cozy and safe day!

Another Christmas

As Christmas day is coming to a close in the US, I hope you’re enjoying time with family and enjoyed some good food.

Egg Nog Pie

Don’t forget, as we go into the last few days of the year and into 2024, that Christmas spirit can go with us throughout the year. The lights may dim, and the presents may be gone, but the light of Christ goes with us in our hearts.

Merry Christmas 🎄 💫

Are you ready?

Merry Christmas eve… do you have all your goodies ready?

This was my last batch for my church folks it was cinnamon chip brown sugar cookies and then pretzel bark with festive toppings. Had to hide the bark as my family was eating it all. 😂 Hope you’re having a blessed Christmas Eve, and if you’re not having a good one, I’m praying God will turn out around for you. ❤️

Chase saw Santa

We were in a Rural King over the weekend and guess who Chase was so excited to see…

Santa 🎅 He was so excited he went right up to him and was more than happy to get his photo with Santapaws. He was so cute.

Hope you are enjoying your Christmas season 🎄

Merry Pre Christmas

Little Cooper was “helping” me decorate the other day and wanted to say hi…

Hope you all are getting your Christmas shopping and wrapping done. Take some time this season to reflect on the meaning of the season and give extra love to those you care about, even those fur babies.
