FFF-Nature Friday - My Beach House
Welcome to that wonderful Friday each month where Nature Friday comes together with YAM Aunty's FFF!!
Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the New Rulez and join the FFF fun!!
My Beach House
by Arty
As I walked along the sea,
I saw a beach house made just for me!
Sand for the floor and sticks for the sides,
there was even a box of cheese crackers inside!
A view of the ocean,
with fishies and sharks,
Maybe we can make a bonfire,
for when it gets dark!
Alas, all my foodies were all left at home,
A pup cannot live on cheese crackers alone!
Some homeward we headed with a memory for me,
I would never forget my beach house by the sea!
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

Thankful for Family Time
Mama has been busy having us practice "Social Distancing" while she goes from room to room with her paint supplies. I don't know why she doesn't let us help. Many paws make for short work, right?? Oh well, she seems to think many paws make for wet paint on dogs.
Whatever!
We have also noticed Daddy is home more than usual. Mama says he is working from home(three days a week), but we think he is here mainly to entertain us and take us for lunch time walkies!!
Move over Arty!!!
My pawrents say they are very thankful that they have us as Quarantine Buddies,
and for their evening entertainment, of course!
Mama made a short video of our antics to share a smile or 2 today!

Keeping Busy on Happy Tuesday
We are entering the second week of staying home and, although Mama spends the mornings painting different rooms in our house, she seems to think we need to "keep busy" during the afternoons. I try to tell her that since Daddy is working from home 3 days a week, he keeps us busy by taking us for lunchtime walkies and we keep him company in the afternoon.! You know, by begging for treats, barking at the neighbor kitties and climbing all over him.
For some reason, Mama thinks maybe she needs to find another way for us to "keep busy" so Daddy can get some work done.
I've seen bunny ears, bunny stuffies and lots of other costume-y stuff appearing downstairs lately. Mama is also saying something about "more photo shoots" and "cheering up people through pictures"
Not sure how this is going to turn out...
BUT
I see lots of treats in my future!!!!
What are you all doing to "keep busy" while you stay home?

Lighthouse by the Sea
Today, since everyone has a bit of extra time, I thought it would be nice to show you the Point Pinos Lighthouse. We stopped to there to visit last month during my road trip to Carmel!
It was one of the California lighthouses Mama hadn't seen yet, so it was nice to cross it off of the list!
The Point Pinos Lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in California that has stayed in almost continuous use.
It opened in 1855 and was one of the seven original California Lighthouses!
Wowsers, that is even older than Mama!!!
It has only been dark twice. First during the Big San Francisco Earthquake of 1906(it got damaged and needed the lens replaced) and then again during WWII during mandatory black out times!
The lighthouse is located in Pacific Grove, CA (just southwest of Monterey)
Emily Fish added beautiful landscaping and gardens to the lighthouse while she was Lighthouse keeper from 1896 until 1914.
The movie is a bit long, feel free to pop over toYouTube HERE and watch it later!
I hoped you enjoyed learning a bit about the Point Pinos Lighthouse. The only downside to the lighthouse was dogs weren't allowed to visit. This was fine with me(and Daddy) though because I got to go on a nice long walkie along the ocean with Daddy, while Mama puttered around the lighthouse!
We are on "Mandatory Shelter In Place" restrictions as of today. Thank Dog one of the exceptions is hiking, so you'll find us out on a trail this weekend.

Cheering Up Mama and Daddy
Today, we want to tell you how thankful Mama and Daddy are to have us around here to cheer them up during these crazy days of "social distancing"! We have been extra patient and letting Mama dress us up and we have even also allowed Mama and Daddy to go ahead and paint the inside of our house(while we snoopervise of course)! I know, aren't Mama and Daddy lucky to have such wonderful pups like us in the family?!
You're welcome Mama and Daddy....
Now, give us those cookies!
How are you cheering up your people during these crazy days??

Backyard Nature
It may be another week until Spring officially arrives, but one of our backyard Rhodies thinks Spring has sprung already!! My Leprechaun brothers and I wanted to show it to you this week on Nature Friday!
As you can see it's first to the backyard party and none of our other bushes have bloomed yet.
So many blooms, so little time!
Let's give everyone a closer look Rosy!
Here is a Rhody bud cluster. Aren't those pink edges pretty?!
Here is a few of the top of the bush, Mama really enjoys the ripply, wavy texture of these blooms!
...and the slight touch of pink is just beautimous!!
Us Leprechauns really love Rhodies, don't we Jakey??
You know what else we like?
COOKIES! Speaking of cookies, Mama needs to put some in my tummy!
We cant help but like the way Robin Williams thinks!
Here's hoping you all have a party kind of weekend!!
