Its Palm Sunday, but at 18F outside at 7am, you can be assured that we have no palm trees here...MOL! Michigan is not tropical, in fact even though its sunny, who knows when the real spring will start. There is even talk of snow one of these days, sheesh:(
We do have some snowdrops blooming, and a few brave crocuses, and yesterday petcretary said she saw the bluebells trying hard...well, maybe just maybe there is hope for warmer days ahead. BTW...it was too cold for Dalton to find any snakes, but he did do lots of digging, presumably to oust moles and voles. I hope so, they are ruining our lawn...even more than the digging than Dalton may do, BOL!
We took some inside pictures: IE: Sunshine on my shoulders...at least it was like that for Pipo. Dalton just got the bright lit area by the door...
 |
| I still get worried when I see that camera thing come off the shelf and it goes 'ping' when petcretary turns it on... |
 |
| Sun on my shoulders is just so relaxing... |
 |
| So you need one of those selfie things again? |
 |
| I am thinking about things here in my sun puddle... |
 |
| Hi, Evfurrypawdy! |
 |
| This back lit image needed some work to make it look like the real me, MOL! |
There is a guest selfie at Kitties Blue this week so we decided, despite the Tabbies catvice, that we would show you some guests too. Pipo sometimes smacks his lips when he sees these dudes and their feathery companions...
 |
| This Tufted Titmouse looked odd to petcretary... |
 |
| Then she realized it had only one full leg. Wow, A survivor indeed. |
 |
| Cardinals always are beautiful to see; such bright splashes of vibrant color. |
We made a card this week, using a few tweaks to a kimi image in petcretary's new Photoshop Elements...
Wow, a one-legged birdie. So happy he survived whatever happened to him. One of mom's favorite things in the winter is to see cardinals in the snow. We have lots and lots of them in our yard. Dalton, you may not like the camera, but you take great selfies. How nice to have sun puddles, Pipo. We have seen so little sun this winter. Today we have some, and it is working on melting yesterday and last night's snow. We sure hope spring will not be too hard behind that melt. Have a terrific week. Thanks for hopping.

ReplyDeleteWe have cardinals but not in great abundance. They are a welcome sight! You sure did get snow. And you are so much further south than we are, OMC!
DeleteThat tufted titmouse was interesting to see like that. Sometimes we see birds with feathers missing form their tail or face, but a one legged one is new for us. Maybe it got away from a hawk.
We can't wait for spring, but it sure seems to want to take its time this year.
OMD Dalton's expression in those photos is PRICELESS!!! What a cutie and he photographs sooo well! What was this you were saying about SNOW??? When? I saw the forecast and there is none through the weekend coming up........I am afraid to know! Your bird photos came out amazing too, you truly do a wonderful job with your photos!
ReplyDeleteYesterday there was snow to the west of us..but thankfully it did not come here..phew! We are *done* with that white stuff...
DeleteVery pretty card for Summer. And I love your selfies too. I hope Spring gets to you soon. XO

ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWhat great selfies! We know about this Michigan weather. It’s been sunny here...but still so cold! We want spring to get here and stay. We love seeing those birdies. Our favorite is the tufted titmouse. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was nice today...but still chilly. Tuesday is forecast to be quite rainy...well, ugh, but it is dry and we need it. But why on petcretary's day off??
DeleteWe get as many titmouse birds here as we do chickadees and finches. Yesterday there was a white-throated sparrow.
How lovely you both are this week... Pipo sure looks comfy in that sunpuddle, maybe Dalton could take lessons in the art? Clearly Dalton has the art of mole hunting sorted, and seems a better thing to dig than to put bait or traps.
ReplyDeleteToodle pips and purrs
For sure Dalton needs lessons...in how to be a less fearful pup...and then we can work on art, MOL!
Deleteoooh your selfies are beautiful... and how much we wish we had cardinals here too... I wonder that they don't live in europe ;O))) our palm sunday was a little different... normally the girls wear white dresses and the procession is colorful and springlike... but this time all peaople wore coats and caps and all had brrrr-faces....
ReplyDeleteIt was way Brr here too.

DeleteThanks for being brave and stopping in to visit noetheless!!
Mr Dalton, you are very photogenic. You have a furry expressive face and Pipo, you look grand! Do you get along with Dalton? Or is he a pest? Kozmo and Cinnamon think I, Marvelous is a pest. and I LOVE your birds. We don't have cardinals, but we do have stellar jays, they are loud, noisy and make a total mess!
ReplyDeleteAnd your birthday card for Summer is totally PAWSOME!!!
Purrs
Marv
I, Pipo will give Dalton a sniff or two...and then I yeowl at him to mind his biz'ness around me...and then I might stalk off...or...I will whap him one or two and send him yipping to his bed, MOL! No, we really do not get along, though we sort of tolerate eachother...he's scared of me, and I like to keep it that way...hey hey...
DeleteWe love your selfies, all of them!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing Summer is four, she barely seems a kitten even now!
Thanks!
DeleteAnd it means we have been blogging for over four years, now...I even missed the 'blogoversary', What a silly I am:)
18 degrees? YIKES! That sounds awful :( Hope you don't get anymore snow and that it warms up for you soon! Love all your photos. Your petcretary is a really great photographer.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt has warmed up a tad...and it was about 54 today...but cold is coming back we hear...sigh...
