Kisses & Things To Come...That Came!!

Hooray, the new fridge came and it fits beautifully in our dedicated space, Phew! Its so good to hear it 'purring' away as it takes care of our foodables. And especially so, since the temp outside has been in the 80's the past several days. Living out of coolers was not much fun...kind of like forced camping...

That higher than normal temp made our weeping cherry tree explode with blossoms! It likely won't be long lived, though, because the forecast calls for snow showers on Monday...sheesh! Talk about yo-yo weather! So we are showing some pictures of that tree, from earlier before it 'took off' and then from Saturday. It was buzzing with all kinds of bugs coming to imbibe of the nectar and pollen. That is our 'things to come' section...

The tree has taken on a pinkish hue...the bluish tint under the tree are lots of scilla flowers.
Two days later it has opened up many blossoms.

And the next day it is fully loaded with a mass of blossoms, attracting all kinds of hungry bugs, esp bees. If you stand under the tree you can hear all the buzzing...

Tiny buds...the start of things to come.

Still tightly closed, but getting large and very pink.

Getting ready...
Fully opened!


Pretty blooms in the gentle breezes.

One of the many buzzy and busy bees!

Dalton & Benji were having at it outside, then they decided to take a rest and 'make up'....

Wait for it:  One-Two-Three-KISS!

It really is a kiss...BOL!

Petcretary was early to class at Teddy's Teaser, and got this badge:

I was one of TWO First Commenters on the Teaser post of April 11, 2023! The Early Birds caught the worm….woo hoo!
And while not first with her guess as to where the image was taken, she got this badge, too:
Darn! I was right with my guess BUT I wasn’t FIRST RIGHT! Next time I will be! (Maybe...)

We are joining up with all our fellow selfies on Sunday at the Cat On My Head, the hosts of this blog hop. Thanks Kitties Blue!
