Mischief Monday - Do We Have Snow?

Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

I hope you had a weekend that was fun, fun, fun, Our weekend was lots of fun and the people were around more than usual, so that was nice. Grissie is going to tell you about something fun, fun, fun that happened, because today I must host.

Today is April 27. Do we still have snow?

This was the yard at almost 2 pm yesterday. This is what is left. 

Can you believe it, there is still a little snow! It is almost May!

Sorry Sunny and Aunty-Yam - you are so close, so, so, so close, but there is still snow in the yard! 

Friday will be my last day as contest host! Will this be the first year we don't have a winner?

FFF and Nature Friday - Spring and Contest - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

It is the best day of the month. It is the last Friday which means it is both Aunty-Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday and I love them both. They are both so fun, so fun, so fun. 

I am so excited I don't know where to begin, where should I begin? What should be first!

Lady says I need to focus, focus, focus and she said to start with the FFF part, which will capture the nature, and I can do the contest last and build suspense, like a good thriller. So to build the suspense,  here I go.

Warm sun, warm sun,

I love you.

You make me sleepy,

yes you do,

You take away the snow

You make the flowers grow,

Warm sun, warm sun,

I love you.

The end

The early flowers are starting to appear. 

Now onto the contest.

I am sad to say, that on Wednesday morning, after some more guesses, we still had this snow.

Sorry to Fay, Phenny and Nelly, Walter, and Missy Mimi. We still had snow on your guesses. So close, so close, so close. Will there still be snow by the end of today or will one of the later guesses win. I will update you on Monday.

your poet and host, Styxy

Lanie's Log - Laser Pointer

 It has been 184 days (just over 6 months) since my imprisonment, and as I mentioned, I am starting to enjoy the big house. 

The Wardens are excited because this week I spent more time upstairs in the morning with them. I have been coming up to eat, but not staying around. As mentioned, I have discovered laser pointer and even played with Lady Warden one morning (taken from a video, made without my consent).

I may have been trying to bite the laser

I also like the new toy the Wardens brought Styx and Hiss (she just hisses at me so much, I think this is her prison name).

Lady Warden was so excited when I just sat upstairs the other morning. Apparently she was excited with how relaxed I was a loaf. 

My complaint this week is the Man Warden tricked me into his lap using treats. I did not like this. I love treats and will tolerate a lot for them, but lap love, I think this is too much.

The Wardens were reflecting on 6 months that they did not know if I would be here (both still in the house and as friendly) during those early days in October. But here we are, and we keep going forward.

Wordless Wednesday - The Girls

 

Tuesdays with Tigris - Gift

 Last week the people celebrated 1 year of serving me. To mark this occasion, we got a new toy. 

Lady and Man thought they should get something to scratch and something to play with. They mentioned something about some of us needing exercise because she was a chunky monkey, but there is no way they could have been talking about me.

We enjoy this toy, even the little one who I dislike does too.

Mischief Monday - Contest Update - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

It is I, your host Styxy hear to talk about snow. The weather is getting the most mischief points in our world as spring flooding has started. Our house is always ok, but some of the roads around us are not. It can be dangerous, so dangerous. I hope it isn't too bad this year. 

Now, without further adieu, what you have all be waiting for, an update. 

This was our yard on the 15th.

April 15 - still snow out front

This was our yard on the 18th.

While most of the snow is finally gone, it is not all gone. Sorry friends, sorry, you were close but did not win. 

I, your host Styxy will do my best to update about today and tomorrow this week. Lady says they are calling for a little snow this week, but it doesn't look like it will stay long. 

a very excited host, Styx

Nature Friday - Neighbours - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

Today is the next guess in my snow contest. Since the day is not over, I am delaying my report on it. I will update you on my mischief Monday post. The suspense, the suspense, the suspense! I will say it has been a rainy, rainy, rainy week. Lady didn't even go out and do all her walks because it was raining so hard. There were rainfall warnings. There can be flooding this time of year.  Will this help the snow go away faster, faster, faster?

Lanie mentioned it yesterday, but we had a scary, scary event on Tuesday around 12:40. We were all just going about our days when there was a loud noise like an explosion and then the house rumbled and shook and it shook a little harder and then it stopped.  Lady was in a meeting and because Man was home, he went and checked everything. All was good, we were just a little shaken. The news says it was a 3.9,  That sounds big to me but Lady says it is no and I don't need to worry until it is 6 or more. 

Now on to our neighbours. The snow is going away because we are seeing a lot of our favourite neighbours, the deer! Lady say 12 on a walk one day, 12. I don't know if I can count that high. We see them in our yard a lot. I like to watch them through the window.

Seen on Lady's walk - can you find the 5th?

Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event.

Have a good, shake free weekend friends!
