Not much help

The owls were complaining about waffles...not the breakfast kind, but the border kind. I decided to take the time to fix it with hand sewing. Buddy wanted to help.

I suggested that it would be more helpful if he would pose for me.

Molly thought I should provide a photo for people who prefer cats.

I moved into this house last summer, so this spring I'm discovering more about the landscaping. I knew one of the trees in the backyard was a dogwood, and it turns out to be pink. This is not too surprising given the kitchen has raspberry counters.  I also realized that an anonymous plant by the side of the house is a peony, and it is preparing to bloom.

An azalea along the front walk is in full froth.

Looks like you’ve got some beautiful flowers in your yard. Oh, and beautiful cats in your house. Bruce and I plan to work in the garden tomorrow, but nothing is blooming yet except tulips.

One of the nicest things about moving into a new home is discovering all the plants as they come into bloom. Enjoy those you have.

I experience those same waffles quite often. Not a fan.

Nice landscaping. Did you get any bulb flowers you weren’t expecting. As for your pony...he looks like a ruffian to me...which is kind of like a woofie, only louder.

Complaining about waffles isn't so bad. Coulda been knock knock jokes...
