Seedlings to Be

You know I have spring fever when I plant seeds. I never plant seeds!

But, I am finally planting the seeds that Monica, of M&Co., sent me from Norway two autumns ago. I have these tiny Vaseline glass pots that I like to keep in my kitchen windowsill. The last two plants had grown to their prime in these minuscule holders and I thought what a perfect starter pot for seeds. Her hand-made packets were delightful!

I used clothes pegs to mark the two. I can't wait for them to peek their little heads out of the soil! Isn't it nice to find new life?

Even my orchids seem to know it's spring time.

They both look nice and healthy. Let's see if they ever bloom again. The one time I had an orchid re-bloom was way back when. The family and I went out of town and my brother stayed at my house and watched all the animals. When I left, I had two tiny buds on an orchid and when I returned they were all shriveled up! Can you believe the timing in that! Oy.

Bella continues to sneak out each time I open a door. Here she is tempting fate. Frankie, the cat-eating dog, lives down below (mom's place). Frankie is the one who tried to eat Abby and probably would have succeeded if someone hadn't noticed the fur flying! Geesh.

Frankie is the same dog that mom feeds more than herself. If I don't stay right with her during lunch (her largest meal), she will feed the dog all her food. I've told you about the time I got mom a big box of those individually wrapped pastries from Costco? You remember. When she fed half the box to the dog in one night? Now I have to ration everything. The picture above is several years ago before mom started losing it. I would say that dog is twice the weight now and looks just like a little black pig, I kid you not! Today, I couldn't believe it. I got up for one minute to clear the table while mom was taking her pills. I come back to the table and looked at the dog; and he's eating something! I go to grab it and it's all of mom's vitamins!! OMG!! I grabbed them and showed mom. She is so cute and acts just like a child. "I didn't" is all that she could come up with. As much as I want to get mad, I just can't. (Well, I can a little until she reminds me she really is a child at this stage who really doesn't know any better.) I try and tell her that this is her medicine--it could kill the dog, even though all it was only her vitamins. But still. I try and get through to her but it's no use. She just pretends like she doesn't know what I'm talking about, won't even look at me--just like a kid. lol Like I've said, rather giggle than cry. So, who knows what Frankie is all hopped on today. At least I know mom got her real meds in her tummy!

I didn't even put makeup on today. These mole removals are just about healed (EW, thank goodness!!) and I wanted to give them a free day to really clear up. I just kept my sunglasses on while I was running errands. I'm sure everyone wondered who I was. lol. Yea, right.
