Trees and creeks and a funny special day

According to our Whimsical Calendar today is
'Curling is Cool Day'. When I told Madi this she said she would curl her
paws in honor of the day. Then of course I had to explain to her
that Curling is a sport.....that didn't go well.

After we got over the hurdle of Curling, I (mom) decided to share some pictures with you.
There are all kinds of trees in our neighborhood.
I love the bark on the River Birch

The native pine tree standing very tall over this two story house
The Cat Tree

The blue tree
The Crepe Myrtle Tree with cinnamon colored bark
one of our favorite
The bare winter tree with green moss
The Valentine Tree with lots of red Hearts


and finally the trees clinging to the bank of Crabtree Creek (about to crest) in hopes that the mighty current that will not rip them up sending them down the class 1 rapids........

This was taken several weeks ago after several days of hard rain...
The creek is about a 2' from the retaining wall.

  4. Hi Madi & Mom,

    We like your version of curling Madi, it's much cuter than the sport. The trees are all lovely. I really like the river birch, it is different from the birch trees here. Our favorite of course is the cat tree (we didn't know cats grew on trees). Did we say that? No way!

    Glad to hear you are having some warmer weather. Our days are in the low fifties but the nights have been in the mid twenties. We spent the weekend doing things around the house.

    Purrs & Hugs,
    Cindi Lou and Judy

  10. HI Madi!

    My Dad has really gotten into this Curling stuff. Mom watched some of it on TV and thought it was kinda strange. All of those winter trees were really neat. The one of you in the cat tree was the best, but since we're kitties I am kinda biased your way!

  13. Hi Madi, what a cool tree you have! We loved the Valentine Tree with the beautiful hearts - we have never seen a Valentine tree before.
    We love trees too - although we much prefer them in the summer - sometimes in the frost and fog they can look spooky.
    Curling is a sport that is quite popular in Scotland!
    love and kisses

  15. You're brilliant (for a cat), Madi and I've been saying this for a while now. Way to curl the feetsies. If you hadn't, you'd be reduced to the maid with the curly hair. Yikes. Beautiful blue tree...
    Twink!

  16. Those are all great trees but we like the cat tree the best - because that is where Madi is! And even if she got curling wrong we still think she looks very cute!!

  17. We enjoyed seeing all those trees, Madi...we are most partial to the cat tree, of course.
