Pretty in Pink

Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week, we have a pink peek at the beautiful show our crab apple tree put on this Spring. 

It started with tiny fuchsia colored buds hiding in the leaves...

...that bloomed into beautiful pink blooms!

The amazing thing is, this year, they did this in a matter of a couple of days!!

The see-saw weather (one day it's hot, the next day it's cold) may have had something to do with it. No matter the reason, Mama sure was glad we were home to see these pretty pink flowers bloom. 

Nature truly is amazing, and we are lucky the Spring Bloom season seems to have adapted to the crazy weather.

We hope all our friends on this side of the equator are enjoying some Spring Blooms, and hope those down under are having a nice Autumn.

Wherever you are, we hope you get to enjoy some nature this weekend!

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

 

Thankful for Mama Walks and Sherlock

This week I am very thankful that Mama and I are back to our walkies!

It seems like 87 years since she has taken me for a walkie without Daddy (if you click on the picture it should take you to a short walkie video).

Not only are we going for walkies....we are going for "take time to smell the flowers" walkies. This is mostly because Mama likes to cater to my every whim...but also because she found a new podcast called Sherlock & Co. that she is really enjoying. YAM Aunty recommended it a couple of times (click HERE to view her post). Mama finally gave it a listen  says it is both intriguing AND hilarious!

As long as it keeps us walking longer, she can listen to as many episodes she wants. 

Thanks to YAM Aunty AND Mama for helping keep me walking during the week (and thanks to Daddy for still taking me on the weekends!!).

Yellow is the New Black

Today, we want to introduce a new friend. We have never seen a Yellow-headed Blackbird in the backyard. TC caught him attending the Birdy Circus during its backyard run.

Just look at what a cheerful and handsome guy he is:

We sure hope he comes back and visits again!

We are joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the

Happiness is.....

HUMMER SEASON! 

One of our favorite things about April is the return of the hummingbirds! Mama has her first feeder up and ready for the hummingbirds to feast! 

We haven't seen a hummingbird yet but, to get ready, here is a look at some hummers we have had in the past:

We cant wait to see what hummingbirdies visit us this year!!

Helping Mama Crochet

Oh...hi Mama!

Why no, I did not steal your seat to lay on the warm, fuzzy blanky...

I was just going to help you finish putting the border around it.

But...ummmmm, I'm having a problem getting a hold of the crochet needle.

So maybe, I'll just snuggle in and take a nap until I grow opposable thumbs....teeheehee

We're also joining Comedy Plus for the

Happy Easter Flower Friday

Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Spring is blooming so fast here in our corner of Blogville that Mama had to take another trip back out to the Botanical Garden to make sure she didn't miss any blooms!

She was glad she made the trip, color was blooming everywhere!!

It seems like the Wisteria bloomed overnight! It's purple-y beauty covered this trellis. 

Again we wish we had smell-a-vision because Mama says the smell was divine!

The tulips are blooming too, Mama found a pretty yellow tulip

Here is a top view...

....along with  a top view of some pretty pink tulips. 

Bunches of trees and bushes are blooming too!

This white cherry tree has bunches of blooms.

Mama thinks this is a type of Redbud tree. She and I both love the vibrant pink buds!

These Japanese Cherry trees with thier poofy blooms bring back all kind of memories for Mama as they used to line the streets of her hometown in New Jersey.

Here are some Crab Apple blooms from a Botanical Garden.

(Next Friday we'll show you some pink blooms from MY backyard!)

We'll wrap things up this week with this blooming Desert Holly. They kinda look like micro daffodils don't you think??

Thanks so much for joining us for our week of Spring fun! We hope you enjoyed seeing a little of what is blooming here in the high desert of New Mexico.

We are wishing everyone who celebrates a very Happy Easter and Passover weekend.  As always, we hope all of our friends get to experience some nature this weekend!

Thankful for Good Conversations

 

Today I am thankful for productive conversations.

Last week we were hanging out in ArCee while Mama got some "RV Stuff" done.  I was sitting on the big bed, keeping an eye on my backyard, when I had a visitor. A Gambel's Quail hopped up on the fence to talk!

We had a nice conversation at first, commenting on the nice weather and other small talk. Then, things went south when he tried to tell me it was nice that I could visit HIS backyard!

The discussion may have gotten a bit heated as I let him know it was MY backyard.....

He even tried calling for back up! 

Listen for yourself:

Of course, Sunny added her two cents too!

I really am thankful to have new friends to talk to

...in MY backyard!
