Jingle and Belle

My youngest daughter Kylee has two cats that were born last Christmas Eve. The original owners named them Jingle and Belle. Kylee and Dustin renamed them Piper and Bana. One night when I was over there helping her decorate her mantle Kylee said, "at Christmas we will always call them Jingle and Belle." A few days later I received this picture text. Immediately after they decorated their tree the cats ran right over snuggled up and fell asleep. What a PURR-fect gift under the tree! Best fur I've ever seen!

Birds and Blooms

Where there are birds there is sure to be poop.

Potted Pansies and primroses brighten my day.

violets-gotta love their sweet little blossoms

Happy Earth Day!

I am so loving this weather! The past few days the flowers just seem to be popping out like crazy. My trees are full of birds and I never grow tired of hearing their chirping. I must admit though, I own a bird killer. In just three days I have found the remains of two birds in my garage. Petey is a KILLER cat. What's an owner to do? I've even quit filling my feeders because I felt like I was bringing them in for the kill. All I can say is fly birdies fly. I snapped a few photos of what Spring has brought to my Highland home and thought I would share them with you. Hope you enjoy!
