Spring between.

Spring is between winter and summer. It is a rather confusing time.

image

There are flowers and sunshine, but then there is also sometimes snow. It can be warm but the wind is rather chilly.

The only solution is to retain the best parts of winter, lady bug hat and mittens, when the wind blows…

image

…and leave on only the hat when the sun is bearably warm!

image

I love the sunshine but I am very much looking forward to summer!

Second summer.

Since this is my second summer, I am becoming quite an expert on how to enjoy this season. If you want to know how you too can make the most of your summer days, allow me to give you some suggestions.

image

Install a pool in your backyard.

image

Install a slide for that pool.

image

Plant some flowers. Then don’t touch them because it will make your mom mad.

image

Decorate the flagstone walk with chalk. But don’t eat the chalk because it doesn’t taste good.

image

Run through a fountain on your local walking mall.

image

Have a picnic dinner in the park.

image

And always take a moment to enjoy the summer sunset.

Now get out there and enjoy your summer. I’m certainly enjoying my second one so far!

Trader Joe’s.

Mom was really excited about the new grocery store that just opened up in town. So, on Valentine’s Day we were in line bright and early.

image

There was a lot of excitement when we got inside, and someone put a lei on my head.

image

Trader Joe’s seems like any other grocery store. They have flowers.

image

And they have bananas.

image

Mom seemed to know exactly what items she wanted and she joyously threw them in the cart and then we left. Whatever makes mom happy, I guess. I have a feeling we will be going there more often now, but I will always know that we were some of the first people in that store. Thank goodness.

So, welcome to town, Trader Joe’s.

Mother’s Day.

Today was a holiday known as Mother’s day. From what I can tell it involves dad taking me out first thing to get flowers and scones and lattees for mom.

image

I picked out those flowers. They looked tasty.

It also involves dad rolling out grass in the garden and mom taking pictures.

image

Twizzle had to be bribed to sit calmly next to me.

I don’t know if this is how all mom and dads celebrate mother’s day, but it was a nice day.

image

I love the new lawn dad planted today.

Happy Mother’s Day, mom. Aren’t you glad I made you a mother?
