Flower FF Friday

 
Welcome to the wonderful Friday each month where Nature Friday comes together with YAM Aunty's FFF!!  Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the FFF fun!! Check out the wonderful new badge YAM Aunty created for 2026.

Today, when a lot of the US has freezy cold temps, we thought we would time travel back to a warmer, flowery, FFF Fairy Tail from August of 2019. 


This month I, Rosy, will be reading a story to go along with Mama's pictures of the Dahlias at the beautimous Sequoia Gardens!


Once upon a time, a Lhasa Princess named Rosy wanted her very own Flower Garden.


She begged and pleaded with her Mama, but to no avail.



 "But Mama, when I went to my BFF's garden, they had the prettiest pink flowers!"


Her Mama tried to explain that gardens take a lot of work, and although they had tried before, they had not been able to get a garden to grow!



Princess Rosy's Mama asked if she might enjoy a walk
in the Royal Sequoia Gardens.
"Oh yes Mama, that sounds grand!"
So, into the Royal Rogue Carriage the went.



They saw a plethora of beautimous flowers!



 
Fairy hat flowers with bees underneath



...and hydrangea flowers



But the dahlias were the most beautiful!



The white ones with the purple edges were the prettiest of all!



Before she knew it they were on their way back to the palace. Rosy thought about her walk around the Royal Garden and started to smile.  Maybe there is something to be said about visiting a beautiful garden, instead of growing one at home!

Thanks for joining us for this fun flashback and we hope everyone gets to see some nature this weekend!!

Dove or Piggy?

 
This week, on Backyard Wildlife Wednesday, we want to show you a frequent visitor to the smart feeder...Mama says these silly piggy doves are probably the reason she has to fill up the feeder so often!

Snowy Sunny

 
We didn't get too much Snowmaggedon snow, but we did get enough to make it pretty.


We are sending pawsitive thoughts to those who got the brunt of the storm and may be stuck inside or are without power.

California Dreamin' on Nature 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. Here in New Mexico, the only colors we seem to see this month are browns, tans and grays with a sprinkle of dull green. Of course, we do have pretty blue skies. Although I wish the skies would turn gray and snow on us.

Anyways, all the lack of color has Mama day dreaming of the pretty scenery we had in Northy North California....

There was so much green....

....and pretty Redwood trees lining the roads.

We got to see whales right from the beach...

There were LOTS of birdies to chase

...and Sea Doggies to bark at/with.

...and, of course, there were a bunch of Elks!

There were also a ton of pretty colors,

From dreamy sunrises

Hills filled with lupine flowers...


and the most beautiful Dahlia Flowers...

We do miss all the beauty of Northy North California but we don't miss all the rainy days and the having to drive a whole day just to go to a department store and back.

Plus, there were no squirrels to chase in our California backyard!

We sure hope everyone keeps warm this weekend and gets to see some Nature too...even if it is through your windows!


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.

2026 Travel Planning

 
It's that time of year where we usually do our annual trip planning for all of our RV adventures. Unfortunately, it seems that the pawrents already planned all of our ArCe weekends.

Can you believe they didn't even ask our input?! 

So....when Mama asked for our help making reservations???
Zzzzzzzzzz....



Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....



What's that Mama, you had to make all the reservations by yourself???

Oh well,
Rosy and Sunny say:
"They who makes the decisions, make all the reservations"

We are happy the pawrents planned an RV trip almost every
month starting in March! 

HURRAY!!
