Nature Friday - Spring is Slowly Springing

 Dear pals,

My front yard still looks like this:



However spring is starting to spring up. 

Lady needs to do some clean up, but do you see the lilies come up?

Our tulips are popping out too. 

Dirty to smell

The temperatures are looking ok with a little snow left. Lady just booked the tire change appointment (we have winter tires) for 2 weeks - will it be the right time? Will the snow all be gone before our first guess on April 14th?




Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event. 

your pal, with spring fever, Zaphod

Throwback Thursday - The First Picture of Zaphod We Ever Shared

 This was the first picture of Phod we shared when we introduced him.



He spent much of his first few days curled up by the door.  It didn't take him long to have the run of the house.


This memory made me smile!

Mischief Monday - Spring Fever - by Zaphod

 Dear pals,

First, Lady and I are sorry we haven't been around. Life has been busy and the grief can be very real at times and as much as we love you all and care, reading about other people's lives is too much. Thank you for understanding. Know we are here and thinking about you all.

Secondly, I have started having spring fever. When I was a bit younger, this meant every day I would want to be out and playing.Now as an older gentleman (I really don't like Lady calling me old man) if I have a spring fever day, I need to nap a lot the next day.

Come on Lady, there are places to go!


Take Saturday for instance. We had a couple inches of new snow and Lady and I went on one 20 minute walk and one 30 minute walk, and I was running and jumping over puddles and living my best life. The next day I hardly got out of bed. Mind you, it wasn't a good spring day. It was a gross, gloomy one with freezing rain (but not as much as they told us was coming).

We will see what this week bring.

your pal, the still can hop into spring, Phod

FFF Nature Friday- Winter Remains - by Phod

 It is the last Friday of the month so it is both Aunty-Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday.


A poem by Phod

The air is still cool,

The ground is covered in snow,

I hope winter will never go. 


This picture was taken one morning. 


While the snow still cover our yard, it has melted enough that our deer are back!



This is still our front yard. For those who read Tuesday's post, know Lady can walk on it now. 




The first guess for our when will the snow be gone contest is April 17. Looking at this forecast, it may be a great guess.

Hailey is Home

Hailey's remains were returned to the clinic yesterday and Lady was able pick her up.


Ummm, this isn't Hailey, but it smells like the vet.



Welcome home sweet girl.

We miss you so much.
