Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and taking a long beautiful walk with your hounds lovers. (picture me raising my hand;)

Wow, howl much would I give to be with these folks right now? Instead I am at work. Work, work, working…..I would love to be Walk, walk, walking…..

I guess the next best thing is a peanut butter and cheese sandwich and watching the hounds on Hackpen Hill. (about 8 mins)

More dream walking later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Has anyone heard of this basset hound rescue, The Sebastian Foundation? I was just wondering because I heard something about it a few weeks ago and then saw this YouTube just now…..

I love that ladies laugh….

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Basset Babysitting Lovers…..OMD! I would have totally been in this room with all of the hounds instead of playing Bingo.

I went to the MI waddle about 8 years ago or so and remember the babysitting room. Yep, that’s where I was.

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Mid May lovers…..Today I had my nice landscaping guy come over and help me plant some stuff. It was cold and drizzling but we persevered. This is Wade up on the top tier planting a beautiful blue hydrangea!

The Mayor was keeping an eye on him!

Where was Emma? I felt a need to go in and check on her.

Blue Hydrangeas and cold butts! All in a mid May drizzle day!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Crab Lovers? No one loves a Crab! Unless it is this crab!

I had to laugh…(Rolling On Floor Laughing My Butt Off)

I ran across this picture tonight. It is of Grandma in a shop in Gatlinburg, TN!

Grandma said, “Emma needs this sign!”

ROFLMBO!

More not loving the crabby side of the Mayor later…..Cat, Chaps and Grump!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Sugar Maple Lovers! I have always loved the Sugar Maple tree. Probably because it has the word Sugar in it. It just seems so sweet! hehehe

So, it seemed very fitting to buy one for my sister for her 20 year wedding anniversary. My Mom and I looked everywhere and interestingly, a sugar maple was really hard to find. But, we endevored and found one. We came up with the idea after seeing Kate Middleton walk down the aisle of the Abby lined with her beloved Maple trees that will be planted at one of the couples homes.

Just so stunning. We loved that idea.

Here I am tagging our tree for my sister….

Now a closer shot…

That is the card and a royal purple ribbon. My nice landscaping guy (Wade) is picking it up for us tomorrow and delivering it to sis.

I thought you might like to read the card…..

(sugar maple in the fall)

Mom and I would love to present this beautiful Sugar Maple tree to both of you, in honor of your 20 year wedding anniversary.

The wood of the Sugar Maple has been notable for hundreds of years in England in the design of harps. Mom and I both recall the wonderful harp music at your wedding.

In medieval times the wood of a Sugar Maple was used to fashion loving cups and the distinctive leaf shape was carved on many English cathedrals of the time.

Kate Middleton selected the mighty Maple to line the Abby for her magical walk to meet her Prince.

We present this royal Maple in honor of your fairy tale union.

May this strong tree take root and grow for many, many decades shading your Family with love.

Mom and Cat

Ahhhhhhhhhhh………..Howl sweet are we? hehehe

Then we got home and saw this!

Someone is looking over her family! There is a giant Maple the next yard over! I see Verna flying over to it as she swoops down to find worms.

Gotta love those Maples!

More Sugar Babies Later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Iris Loves…My Dad was sure one of those and so am I. He planted these beauties around the light post that he picked out. The Iris was my Grandma’s favorite flower…Grandma Lena.

I looked out the window this morning and a majority of them were in full bloom. Giant juicy purple and white wonders!

First I had to assure the Mayor that I was not going too far! He held steady in his worry bed!

He is such a delicate flower as we all know!

Here is the shot from the street. You can still see the Mayor. He never left his post!

So, of course I had to take a few close ups……

If you look close you can see a few rain drops on the pedals. Oh, it is so beautiful. Just stunning….

Here we have a rather large clump of Stella de Oro aka Day Beauty. My Dad planted those a well. I just love them. They should be blooming very soon.

As you can see, the Mayor is still in his window on his worry bed. This week we are going to plant the outdoor worry flower bed. See that patch in front of the window? We don’t want anything too high because it would block his view.

I love spring and seeing my Dad again. Just lovely…..

More blooms to come later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Great Lady Lovers. I call stately manors like this, Great Ladies. They once stood so proud with their makeup. At night the lights in the windows shown like brilliant jewelry.

Now they are crumbling and sad.

This home is for sale in my town. It is about 3 minutes from my home. If you click the word home above you will see that the asking price is 549,000. I would think it would take about 1.5 million to bring it back to life. The place is in a shambles.

Here is my car with the Fort water tower in the background.

This sad and aging lady is located right across the street for the actual Fort that Fort Thomas is named after.

There is an entire neighborhood within sight that is crumbling and should be condemned. It is so sad and shameful. It used to be a majestic site. Here is an old blog I did on it.

SHAMEFUL

5-14-11 Update – this was in the paper yesterday as I was writing this blog. It is an update about the military neighborhood that is crumbling. I am going to link to it here just so I can keep track of it. It is an interesting article.

TOWER PARK HOMES PUT OUT TO BID

This home is on the National Historic Register and was built back in the mid 1800s. It looks German/Swiss up close. The details were very well thought out.

I feel sorry for Melody Manor. She deserves better….
