In Which Spring Is Here For A Day

I know it has been long but, I am back. I apologize for the lack of communication, but as you may have noticed, I do that.

It is so WARM today! SO SUNNY! What a nice surprise. We tried to go to a park and hike around a bit, but Yuffi puked in the car and it isn't quite ours yet, so we just went home. OH! We MAY be getting this car. It is a Subaru Legacy Wagon. We are testing it for the weekend to see if we want to trade it for or Explorer. We met these people on craigslist.com and they want a bigger car and I want a smaller car, so it is a good match. So if all goes well, this will be ours.

So all of my sprouts died. Super sad. They were growing too tall because the light wasn't enough, so I put them outside when it was sunny, but I guess it was too cold so they all wilted. So here is the next attempt at sprouting some plants on my own. I know it looks weird, but I think the glass tubes will help, and I got a new light. One of the sunflower seeds has sprouted, so we will see. the other thing in there is Chinese Lanterns. They are supposed to have big red leaves, and I think that will be really pretty.

So my garden outside is coming together slowly. Here are my tulips. I really love tulips. Especially red ones because I remember when I was a kid, in the spring I was amazed at the tulips that came back every year no matter what my parents did to the garden. There were yellow ones and really pretty red ones. So they have fascinated me ever since. The other things in there, well I can't remember what they are, but they get really tall stems in the middle of the bushy part with little dainty flowers on top. Really nice. You can see that they are pretty bushy already, even though they had been trampled on by the neighbor dog numerous times.

Here is Puma in the window, I just thought it was cute. The cats LOVE the fact that we have no screens in our house. We do not.
You may be wondering how the cats are doing with Yuffi. Well, kind of better. Damacy really tries to lay with her, but she flails around too much. She is always flipping her long collie nose around. She has actually hurt me a few times. But Puma chases her. Bad. She yips and runs from him, but she asks for it when she puts her collie nose in his face. Puma is REALLY scary when he is mad. Hence the name. And she is way too puppy to understand to leave that kitty alone! She is really giving me a hard time lately. She doesn't listen when it is time to come back inside after being out. So she goes to the neighbors yard and either poops, or worse, eats others poo. Horrible habit! And she doesn't listen anymore when you tell her no. She only responds when you are either walk at her or running at her and just when you can touch her she jumps away and runs where ever she wants. Really frustrates me! Anyway, she is young as Jeffery keeps reminding me. and all this will go away in the next few years.

Here is a pic of Jeffery and I. I just found it on his phone, thought I would share. It is a little blurry, but, I thought it gave it a little appeal.



Ta ta for now.
