another conversation starter, do you do Spring Cleaning? 
I do an amended clean, but it's not Spring yet here, it seems to bank from HOT to cool last week

I sporadically do deep cleans on areas like baseboards, mirrors, ceiling fans however have been dormant collecting dust for months so I clean them thoroughly before turning back on. Not an easy task on the 2 story family room, I have to lean over the upstairs railing with an extended swiffer pole... 

what about you?

tar forms a heart on the road... nice!


what are these pretty pink flowers? dahlias?

Alfie's Affirmations

Alfie: before you obediently down when the mama says "DOWN" look for a treat in her hand 


Oh, I do it anyway but feel gypped anyway

If you get a chance to go outback, take it!!! And run too if you have time, running figure 8s is so much fun! 

"ALL DONE" is sometimes a trick.... it's just so the mommy can see your hair cut from a distance, then you might have to come back for some more snip--- snip---snips. 

But, there is no reward as good as a happy mommy who says, Awe in that singsong voice, and 
"I L O V E you" while petting your clean hair
why are they called walks not "sniffs"

  1. Love the pretty pink tulips and the other pink flowers look like peonies to me. Mom ordered an early mothers day gift for herself a couple of weeks ago and it was a t-shirt but not with a Poodle. It had a Duke on it! Your birdie video had my full attention, Alfie!

  2. I read somewhere that listening to birdsong is so soothing and calming for us because, deep in our bones from our ancestral memory, we remember that birds only sing when they are safe and all is well.

  3. Those pink flowers are peonies--practically a requirement here in the midwest! And I would think making your own poodle shirt like that would be right up your alley!

  4. The pink tulips are so pretty. I wish tulips lasted longer. The pink peonies make me think of my grandmother. She had a whole row of them along the sidewalk to her house. The sound of birds is soothing to me too.
