Hola! Selfies A La Cinco De Mayo

Yesterday was May Fifth...which is also Cinco De Mayo.An important date in Mexican history, but somehow it is widely celebrated here, MOL! BOL!
And Thursday was May Fourth...which to Star Wars aficionados has become known as May The Fourth Be With You. Petcretary is not into that at all...but the unfur bros were back in the day. When petcretary was at her work the CEO was dressed as Darth Vader..and he had his wee pup wering a cape too. Norman the dog a fluff ball...not too sci-fi if you ask us:) Anypaws he had fun sitting on residents laps and getting lots of attention. He comes regular to visit them as he is being 'groomed' as a therapy pet, and when he is older he will become the live in facility  pet. Wonder who will be given the role of care taker??
Anypaws, Thursday was very windy and stormy. he power went off a lot for many peeps due to falling trees, etc. It flickered at our den and the thermostat failed...it needed to be replaced, but that did not happen until late in the day...hours after the fact. Good thing it was not cold out. At work the flickering power happened too. Mr J, with Norman, well he said it was 'The Force', MOL/BOL! Petcretary was glad the power did not go off completely...and that the storms did not cause too much trouble in our area...but it did make lots of mess and havoc to the west of here. And it also smashed a baseball park building in our town. Wow, wind can be so destructive. (gusts of 58mph were recorded.)
Well, we suppose you want to see us in our festive gear...unfortunately we do not have props like maracas, etc...

She wants me to wear *that*?

Yup, Pipo, I think she does...sigh...

Well, um...no way.

Just do it, Pipo, and then she will leave us alone:)

Well, maybe like this, OK?

For once I did it better, BOL!

And the spring time warmth that we finally got to enjoy made all the blossoms on our weeping cherry tree go poof! But the strong winds and heavy rains did not help those blossoms...so our tree is not quite as pretty as it was last year. But ii is still beautiful, cause it means that the real spring is here. And many other blooms are now showing up, too.

Weeping Cherry and the other tree is our dogwood, soon to bloom, too.

A primula

Grape Hyacinth

Wild violets

Periwinkle

Bleeding heart...so pretty in our shady corner...

It will look so lovely when it is in full bloom.

The dogwood in heavy bud.

No springtime yard around here is immune to these bright blooms, MOL!

Well, they are kind of pretty in their own way:)

We made some cards...slowly, slowly petcretary is getting the hang of how to use the PSE program:) Though she still finds it furry time consuming. The kimi site is slightly improved, but still nothing like it used to be:(

Julie from Mickey's Musings is, or recently had her birthday:)

 Many of you may remember Meep and Bibi from our Catster days. Sadly both of them have become angels since that site has closed, First Bibi and now Meep. If you wish to send them any condolences, contact me and I will give you their Mom's email address. Io not know their Facebook info or even if they have one. And they don't have a blog, though they do comment on some of our pages now and then.

We are hopping with The Kitties Blue who are the dedicated hosts of this weekly feature.

Selfies for Allie's Sixteenth Birthday!

Well, we do not have a whole lot to mew or woof about. Petcretary was outside doing yard duties and she worked too...and did errands. At least the weather stayed in the spring zone, Hooray. The solitary daff of last week, was joined by some others, so pretty to see.
So we  will get right down to the business of selfies...selfies on Allie's 16th birthday! Wow, she is sweet 16!

Petcretary made me wake up from my nap in a sun puddle to wish you a Happy Birthday, Allie.

Happy 16th Birthday, Allie! You can visit there and make a comment for her commentathon by clicking on this caption.

Smoochie is having a birthday on April 30, (tomorrow), he would love visitors, too:)

 

Sadly, a little while ago we heard about Molly the Wally having to go and live in Rainbow Bridge Land...

We are catabrating Allie's birthday and joining in a double commentathon, its a blog hop for extra fun with our selfies this week! Visit Mau from the Kitties Blue who has something furry special for Allie, his wife:)

Selfies on Monday, for Sunday Selfie Day...Earth Day, Too!

Petcretary has been quite busy the past week, a lot of her business had nothing to do with furry ones either.
She went to her oncologist, a 60 mile one way trip...so usually that means a wasted day as far as us two goes. She left just after lunch and got back after dark o'clock. She indulged herself in a day of shopping after her appointment. Silly petcretary she didn't get anything she couldn't have gotten here at home, BOL/MOL!
But she did enjoy herself:)
Because she got another good report from the oncologist. Way back in 2006, she was diagnosed, and after several surgeries directly and indirectly related to that issue, and 16 months of chemo, its good to still hear in 2018 that there is no 'evidence of disease'. Praise the Lord!!
Slowly ever so slowly the weather has been inching towards springlike conditions. There was snow at the beginning of the week, but not enough to dampen the spirits of the blue bells. They are still there, blue and bright and pretty. Saturday, petcretary worked in the yard for several hours, and she only had on a sweater over her shirt. That's a first! Sunday was similar. And there was sun! Glorious warm bright and happy times sun! YES! Even a daffodil decided Earth Day was a good time to show off its cup and saucer. Hopefully more will follow. Last year at this time our weeping cherry was about to burst forth in pink froth, but it will be quite a bit later this year...hope it will be just as beautiful! When we drove to church today, it was good to see the shades of color starting to brighten up the trees  in the horizon. We know that soon the trees will have their icky pollen (to which petcretary is very allergic to...), and then all the leaves will dress up the trees for the summer time.
Even though we grumble about the lateness of spring, it still arrives and this is what God has decreed, that there will always be a regular cycle of changing seasons...and yup, once again we are changing from winter to spring:)
OK. time for our selfies! Nothing special...just us in the sun. Well, Dalton was, and my selfie was taken inside, in dimmer early morning light, sans flash, so its rather grainy. But its ME!

The sun is just starting to come up, its comimg in through the front door window...

Hi Ya'll!

First Daffodil of the 2018 spring season at our den.
