Thankful Thursday: Enjoying A Beautiful Weekend

  After a challenging week, we were extra happy for a beautiful weekend and a visit from our favourite neighbour.

                    

Wordless Wednesday - Lady is Home

 

Snow Contest

 

Let's jump back to last weekend:

Lots of snow.

This week has been unseasonably warm and after a couple days of low 20C/70F the yard has changed.

Wednesday when Lady left for work, you still couldn't walk across the yard because of snow, but now you can (although it is very muddy!)

However, there is still snow, so thanks to Beau, Ruby Rose and Rosie and Baby for playing. You were all actually closer than Lady thought you would be!

Here is a look at this week:

Will this week be the end of the snow?  There is a lot of rain, but some nights are cold . . .  Will either of these pals win?

Come back next week to find out!

Until it is gone, at least some of us will enjoy it!

Canadian spring - warm enough to wear flip flops and shorts and there is still snow!

Mischief Monday - A Scary Week - by Phod

 Dear pals,

Last week was a pretty terrible one. Lady says to apologize for not being around at all, she has been barely hanging on some days.

Hiding in the corner of the kitchen may help

Here are the highlights - after 104 hours without power, Lady's car (which has been acting funning and no one could figure out), got sick enough to need a transmission (this is causing drama and while the peeps figure out what they are doing with it all, are living with one car), and then the scariest thing happened.

Tuesday morning, just before 1 am, the deck fell from the sky. Lady and Man are waiting for insurance to come and assess. I was scared when the deck fell, but when I looked out the window in the morning, I literally jumped backwards in fright.

Lady, maybe if I am glued right to you things will be ok!

The week was topped off with Lady leaving for work Wednesday morning and coming home Friday night. She needed to travel for work. 

At any rate, we are here. We are safe. We are working to sort out the car and the deck. The sunshine is helping, come back tomorrow to see how the sun is helping with the true coming of spring!

Nature Friday - Damp Neighbour - by Phod

 Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event.

On Thursday during the ice storm one of my favourite neighbours stopped by. 

A little deer. She spent a good 2 hours eating outside the window. She looked wet and not that impressed. Lady had dumped some compost out here and she really enjoyed it. 

We are seeing deer almost every day! 

Easter Celebrations!

As we mentioned on Monday - in spite of the headaches caused by the storm, we celebrated Easter on Good Friday, by going to Grammie and the Big Guy's for a family lunch. The advantage to not having power, was Lady and Man didn't want to leave us if they didn't have to, so we got to go!

We are here!

Uncle Christ brought us each one of these

Thanks Uncle Chris

As you can see being there was super exhausting.

Look what the Easter Bunny brought us. Lady dropped one. She would also like to thank everyone who thought she made Phod's birthday treats last week. She is not that talented, however she is a master at tapping her credit card!

On one of the trips to get water, Callie came with her kids. She was forced to pay the hat tax. 

She hated it, but Lady said we were making our own fun these days, and since no animals were hurt (other than perhaps her pride). 

In spite of it all, Easter was ok!
