It`s About Time

It`s been forever since I`ve posted anything here. Shame on me, but sometimes life keeps one so busy with other things etc etc.   I have a little more time for the computer now, so I thought I would throw on a picture of sweet Elvis.



 This is his lady friend, neighbor Sandy. Isn`t she a pretty girl?

She really wishes that Elvis would play with her, but sadly most times he feels too old to want to be bothered much with childish things that a three year old likes to do, especially run around and play ball.



And Jen over at Calamity Jen http://calamityjenni.blogspot.com/, 
here`s my garden lol 

Our weather has been extremely chilly and very wet but the last two days have brought lovely sunshine, so maybe there is hope yet for sun and warmth.



Not much happening here, I`m afraid, but we will have some nice veg regardless.  I gave up with any sort of ground garden because the ground in back here gets so sopping wet. Stones rather than soil now. I have lost an enormous amount of perennials and garden vegetables over time by being too darn stubborn to realize what a lost cause it was. It truly becomes a bit of lake after a lot of rain.


Remember that nice brick patio we built? Well bricks crumble and we knew that but I was insistent that we at least try something nice that we could do for cheap. So now after three years, they are gone and have been replaced with stones. I loved the bricks but bricks will be bricks. It looks more like dirt in the picture but moss is beginning to grow in some of the cracks which will hopefully add a little country charm back here.
Well that`s all for now really. I think tomorrow morning I will enjoy doing some blog visiting. It`s long overdue!
Have a great rest of the weekend everyone. It`s Victoria Day tomorrow or as we like to call it, May 24th long weekend!

What's REALLY in Your Pet's Food!!

Still Around Somewhere......

Thanks for all the sweet thoughts everyone.
Just popped by to throw up some pictures. I`ve been lazy and busy and not much into blogging as usual. Below is my sweetie-pie Tatum and his adorable half sister JJ.

Tat likes to visit the red hens when he comes to our place...

Well there used to be some cat nip in the pot but even though it`s dead, Angus still goofs....

Couldn`t forget sweet Elvis :)

Rest in Peace Precious Sweet Teddy.......


In Loving Memory
Teddy aka "The Cat That Would Be Heard"
March 1987-April 14 2010


I had to finally put Teddy to rest last Friday. Had the vet come to the house. It was awful...it was heartbreaking. You lived a long good life Teds and shared so very many memories with me in this house for 23 years. You were the last to share them.
It`s empty feeling now in the front room without old Teds laying on his pillow by the fire.

I know I don`t bother much with this blog anymore and I`m sorry for that because I`ve lost touch with so many wonderful bloggers. I just haven`t had the inspiration over the past few years and nothing really to write about anymore.
Life is strange and rather puzzling at times filled with many questions and no answers. Questions I`m afraid to ask for fear of the answers I guess. Oh well such is life. Onward and upward...stiff upper lip as Theodore might say LOL Teddy on the other hand would have given me a cuddle and purr :)


Anyway, it`s a beautiful and glorious summer day here on this May 24th long weekend and I don`t have to work until tomorrow. It`s Queen Victoria`s Day or rather called Victoria Day here in Canada. Loads of fireworks go off this night.
We did go to the horse races last night and that was fun. And I loved Alice in Wonderland by the way.
A wonderful movie to see is called " Letters To Juliet " and Vanessa Regrave is perfect in it. It takes place in Tuscany and is one of those movies that makes you just sigh for the touching love and beauty in it. Highly recommended!

Have a wonderful weekend if there is still anyone out there that might happen by here.
