Flowers and American Baby

Kanga picked these pretty begonias off the back porch. She says that the yellow ones out front are going to bloom soon.

In other, more important news, Baby Celery is now officially an American citizen!

Hm.. I see a little bit of Pooh in this picture of him, which is weird, since he's all Dr. Celery. 

Wags and kisses,

Rosie

Summertime and the living's easy

The family ate dinner outside the other night. I am quite fond of this situation- I'm outdoors and I get to be near food. What's not to love?

Kanga has some lovely pots of flowers.

Me, looking out across the yard towards the road.

"Hmmm. What's on the table?"

Sigh. Nothing for me to take and eat.

WWFN,
Rosie

LEFT BEHIND!!!!!

Well today the peeps LEFT ME BEHIND to go for a walk at the local,famous museum of American  Decorative Arts.Check it out.

Sad me-yes I does have 4 legs

Kanga and Wol check out the meadow.Lots of daisies.

Do you see the heart shaped leaves?

Flowering milkweed-there are lots of bees-just hard to see!

Butterfly weed-also popular with the bees and of course butterflies!

Fortunately they came home to me and I had some good soccer.Hope you faithful readers had a beautiful Saturday also!

Happy Memorial Day!

Dear All,

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!! 

The roses are blooming by the end of the driveway.  They're called Fourth of July Roses, but patriotic holidays are patriotic holidays. They are also more pink than they look in the pictures.

A rose. Not as pretty as me of course, but still pretty.

Brownies. Which I can't have. 

I will, however, try to get as much of the ice cream Tigger is making to go with them as I possibly can.

Some geraniums Kanga got for Mother's Day

Some more pretty flowers

The rose bush

More roses

And more roses

And yet more roses.......

MORE ROSES

Up close

A bud

And one final rose

For those who died fighting for our country, may their memories be eternal.

Love,

Rosie

Flowers!

Here are some pictures of some of the flowers that were blooming about a month ago (April 13). Tigger just found these on her computer.

 When Tigger finishes her finals, I am going to commission her to photograph the flowers that are currently in bloom.

Christ Is Risen!

Truly He is Risen!
Here are some pictures from Pascha.  Later I'll be doing a comparison of two brands of Robin's Egg candy. :)

Grams and Granddaddy brought this bell back from Russia years ago.  It says Christ is Risen in Russian. 

The Icon of the Resurrection

Some crabapple flowers

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! 

Christ is Risen from the dead.  By death He is trampling down upon Death, and upon those in the tombs He has granted Life. 

Christ is Risen!

Truly He is Risen! 

Christos Anesti!

Alithos Anesti!

Christos Voskrese!

Vositinu Voskrese!

WWFN!

Love,

Rosie:)

Flowers, flowers, flowers!

As a flower myself, I take great interest in those that grow outside. Warning! LOTS of pictures in this post.

Forscythia. Not the biggest one around, but the easiest to find and photograph!

In the garden. Not sure what this is. Kanga?

Daffodils.

Hey! Those aren;t flowers. Those are trees. Really big ones too.

Kanga's favorite tree by Roo's window.

More daffordils. They come in a wide variety of colors.

Bleeding hearts. Also, it looks like there's a bloodroot (???) in the foreground, and hasta sprouts too.

Japanese maple tree coming out in leaves.

A gorgeous rose...

Daffo-down-dillys.

See above.

The Lent rose in FULL bloom.

More trees. These things are TALL. Think 100+/- feet.

Yours truly.

Virginia bluebells starting to bloom.

My little spinning flower that moves in the wind. Recognize it Grams?

Kanga is sprouting lettuce.

Beautifully leafing trees. Usually they don't come out for about another month.
