Magnolia seen on from the car.
Forest Pansy Red bud is in our front yard
Cherry Cherry is our neighbor's


Below is our Eastern Red Bud.  WE did not plant it.
Just popped...it is huge
Taken from the 2nd floor.  From the yard I can only get a few branches


What is the difference between forest pansy and Eastern Redbud?  After the blooms are gone both have heart shaped leaves.  Forest pansy's are red the turn green, Eastern Red buds leave are green
Cercis canadensis' Forest Pansy' is a cultivar of a Cercis canadensis eastern redbud with numerous other cultivars. If you are looking for trees with other elements than the famous purple leaves of the forest pansy, there are quite a few offerings to pick from that are variegated, hardier, show different color blooms.

Feline Flashback 
March 2016

Recently my peeps went to First Watch for
FELINE FRIDAY

Breakfast out (I was not invited)
 HOWEVER.......




Thank you to Ellen  came up with first two and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs  came up with last two Thanks Ellen and Lorianne these were fun.  

1. I refuse to spend more than  150.00 a week on Groceries for two. I must say Groceries are a luxury and a necessity now.  We eat well, I like to cook and Bryan always compliments me on my meals before he leaves the table. It is fun to cook when it is enjoyed so much.
2. I am not ashamed to admit I am addicted to Chocolate.
3. I’ve been obsessed with Extra toasty Cheez-its and Rainbow Sherbet lately and Cheez-its are good with Orange Juice too.
4. When someone tells me NO for no reason, I always ask WHY

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #157

   Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

Here is the photo challenge  


this photo reminded me of a story about Me

Once there was at 4 year old...
As she grew up, she was told
tales of things she did
that would make your toes curl.
She found her Annie Ma's (maternal grandmother)
scissors. She crept out to the back yard...
evidently to play beauty shop with 
Lady the Collie  and her new puppies.
The story goes when Annie Ma found her
she exclaimed, "what have you done".
I turned to her happily exclaiming!
I cut Lady's hair, her puppies and mine. 
Lady and her puppies did not mind
**************
There were no pictures but my mind's eye expects I was as happy about my
accomplishment as the child was with her art work.
***************
Rest of the story I was only missing a minute or two.  It only takes that long to cause chaos.  I cut the left side of my hair was almost a crew cut.  So many ways this story could have been a nightmare...Evidently I was a wee devil.

The Irish Blessing Hangs above the guest bed 
Sent to you from Me



May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields 
and until we meet again, 
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
