Addendum to our previously prepared post for today....
My Grandpa peep (Mom's Dad) was taken to the hospital late Saturday night. He has an extensive history of intestinal blockages and has numberous surgeries. In 2008, he was told he could not have any more surgeries due to lack of tissue to close up the surgical area. This time it is only partially blocked. We would appreciate your purrs that the stomach tube is able to clear up this blockage. Mom will not be around much to help me with my blog except very early morning and late afternoon. We'll try to keep you updated. My Grandma Peep needs some help too at her house she is confined to a walker. She does have a home health aid who comes in 3 days a week.
Thank you
Madi and Mom
*************************
From my 2nd floor diva perch, some of our deck thingies* purchased last Fall are currently experiencing a second wind due to our mild winter.
Such as this lovely pot of posies. Dad noticed in early March the tall thingies* were getting new buds. So he started to water and tend it. Lo and behold they bloomed again. The short puffy* pink flowers did too!!
* Scientific terms
After noticing a new crop of these critters, I asked Dad
how he managed to keep them so healthy. He said it had absolutely
nothing to do with their survival BUT if they kept eating our deck...
well this is a family blog so I can't print what he said.
Mom says since they love wood she thinks they are a new species called
Squibeav
Here is another pot of posies purchased in the Fall that had a second wind. Dad was happy both of the pots of posies survived
'cause he didn't have to fork out any green papers for Spring plants
for the planters.
1. Purrayers bein sent immmediately fur the grand'rents.
ReplyDelete2. Your *thingies are looking lovely.
3. Squibeav are evil. Trust us on this one.
4. You are looking absolutely diva-ish, Madi!

ReplyDeleteKeeping your Grandpa and Grandma peeps in my thoughts and hoping they can fix Grandpa's problem soon. I guess with the mild winter your annuals became perennial!

Madi, I am crossing paws and hoping my best hopes that Grandpa and Grandma are feeling better soon. Mommy will say a prayer. The flowers are so pretty and how cool that they survived for you. You must have a green paw.

ReplyDeleteThe squibeav looks pretty ferocious (where the wood is concerned), he'd better watch his step around your deck.

We sure are all thinking of your grandpa here in Collie-rado, Madi. Give your mom extra purrs and snuggles. I know she needs 'em.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers sure are pretty. We don't have any flowers here yet but we have green grass and I've been munching down on it. Oh, and guess what? Our squirrels eat our deck, too, and it's not even REAL wood! It's something called Trex. Makes my momma kerazy! Stoopid squirrels.
