Willy Nilly Friday Five - April 27, 2018

Joining in on WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE (just a bit late).

It's been a super busy and hectic week.  More on that in a minute.

1.  Remember last week's WNFF Jurrasic Park Car....see post below.  Well they invaded the fair grounds.  Here's one of them trying to eat the Education Building.

 

2.  Saturday we got a new bed and mattress.  Sunday Speedy the cat got sick.  He ate Easter Grass, Candy wrappers & ribbon.  Had to spend Monday at the Vets doing a $360.00 Barium Study to make sure nothing got stuck in his intestines.  He's fine but the Vet bill over $400 wasn't so much fun.

 

 On the left, Caramel enjoying the new bed.  On the right, Speedy G recovering from his trip to the Vet.

 

3.  A sure sign of spring around here is when "Woody" the woodpecker returns to peck on the telephone pole next door.

 

 

 

4.  Another sign of spring...When my mom's French Lilac tree blooms and perfumes the air.

 

5.  Finally on Tuesday Coleen had her knee surgery to repair the tendon in her knee that hold your knee cap in place.  She's doing okay but mastering crutches  has been a challenge for her.

Needless to say between taking care of a sick cat, an 89 year old mother and a kid out of surgery the week hasn't exactly been a barrel of laughs but we are surviving.

Till next time...Have a great day.





Willy-Nilly Friday Five and Feline Friday - April 13, 2018

Welcome!

Once again it's time for WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE now being hosted by Tom (The Backroads Traveller).

1.  Took Coleen and her friend, Helen to the park the other day.  One of the few days it wasn't raining.  In fact the sun was out and the turtles were taking advantage of that.

2.  I thought we were at our local city park (Pioneer Park) but according to the vehicle parked next to me we may have been at a different park...

3.  As I've mentioned it's rained ALOT here this month. We had a horrible thunder and lightning storm the other night. There was one clap of thunder that sounded like an "explosion" and I told my husband that lightning had to have hit something very close by.  Spotted this the next day & sure enough that is what happened.

Lighting hit this 100+ year old Green Ash tree about a block away from where we live.  It just exploded about 50 feet of the tree into oblivion. 

4.  Spotted this truck down the street and thought of Debbie (It's All About Purple) immediately so I stopped and took a picture to share.

Pretty sharp looking and most certainly Purple!

5.  Finally today we can't leave without sharing a photo of a cat (sorry for none cat lovers)...Speedy G showing a little bit of "fang".
Sharing this with FELINE FRIDAY

In lieu of all the "rain" we've had this month I'm leaving you with this song choice:

Have a great weekend...More rain headed our way.  Oh Goodie!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday and Songography - October 27, 2013

Welcome.  If you read my blog post from Friday you'll know it's been a very busy week here for me.  It didn't stop either as Friday my mom & I spent 4 hours outside planting flower bulbs (Tulips & Daffodils) for spring.  Lots of hard work and sore muscles but we got it done.

Today we spent most of the day out of town taking Coleen to see the Dinosaur Exhibit,  Jurassic Quest, Return of the Dinosaur.  Most of my evenings this week have been taken up watching the PBR Bull Riding Finals which end tomorrow afternoon.  So it's been an exciting, fun, and tiring week.   Still I found time for some photo's and am here to share them with you.

Starting with SONGOGRAPHY  - Brought to you by Kathy from You'll Shoot Your Eye Out.  The song choice this week:  Forever Young by Rod Stewart.  I absolutely LOVE this song.  Never having given birth to any children of my own I cherish the fact that I got to help raise my daughter, Greta and now her little girl, Coleen as well.  They are a very special part of my life and always will be.  I hold in my heart all the special moments with them that I possibly can.  Here is one from this weeks visit to the Pumpkin Patch:

        May sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home.

So now let's join Ashley (Ramblings and Photos) for SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY.

This weeks prompts:  Change, Your Mood Today, Dark, Welcome and Depth of Field.

CHANGE:  I love that we get to see the seasons "Change" here in Walla Walla.  I spotted this scene while out for a walk with my mom's dog, Pixie this week.  I didn't have the camera with me on the walk so after I got home I got my camera and drove back to take the photo.

Worth going back to get that picture if you ask me.

YOUR MOOD TODAY:  Well this picture wasn't taken today but I think it suited my mood for most of the week.  Happy and Relaxed (even though I was busy)

Coleen and I spotted this kitty on a porch when we were out taking some Halloween decoration photos.  Kitties always make me happy and this one looked very relaxed.

DARK:

Inside the Dinosaur exhibit it was rather dark and these guys lived in a very dark period of the earths history if you ask me.

WELCOME: (or maybe not....)

DEPTH OF FIELD: 

Took this shot when Coleen and I went out to gather some acorns to help feed the squirrels this winter.
