The person
on my way 
A story/kinda poem in honor of our 9th blogaversary on June 27, 2018

Way back in '09 when I was seven 
Mom was not an Old Gray Mare,
she came upon a charming scene.
She found another world called blogspot, it was filled with animal blogs.
Back then she was a looker but in fact she was a lurker.
She went in and out into different blogs as quiet as a mouse; she never let the authors know she was in their house.  Each delighted and
amused her. She said to herself, next time on my way in,
I want to find the person who lovingly writes and snaps these precious
photos.  I know I can do this for I am a woman with a cat hear us roar.
She learned how to comment on blogs.
She made friends and asked questions and in no time at all
it was obvious she was home no more to roam.
Everyone was kind and helpful....in no time at all
we had a blog spot we gave it a name.
It started out as Down Home in NC; however, it was obvious
from day one it was gonna be all about me.
It quickly became Madi and Mom: Downhome in NC.
We made friends galore
East West South and North
Even all the way across the Pond.
To all of you we say thank you for stopping by
to say hi and NOT being lurkers.
THE END Madi and Mom

Here was my very first photo mom posted.

Flower Friday with my niece Rosy SassyPants

Last Friday we featured the only thing that is blooming in our yard
three beautiful mature Crepe Myrtles....FAST FORWARD to 
Tuesday, June 26, 2018...

It rained all day just steady moderate rain..not tstorms but we rec'd 1" of rain
This is the fullest they have bloomed in 2 1/2 years but we learned some value information. Rain and fully blooming crepe myrtles cause the blooms
to become so heavy with water the limbs bent nearly touching the ground.
Thankfully none of the limbs broke off.  

  As of Thursday, June 28, the tree below is about standing up to its full height.

Dad is purrty sure some of the limbs won't recovery but we are waiting.
