A Bring on Spring Weekly Link Round-Up

 


Nothing earth-shattering has happened around here in the past week, although we did get a sighting of a new raccoon. I think Wile E. Coyote and his crew have moved on because the feral cats are back to treating our back garden like it's their local pub. JR Junior is a smaller, younger version of JR. This new visitor likes to jump into the pool, and he goes right past the treats in the birdbath-- something JR would never do. 
 
Today (Wednesday) marks the start of a two-day prep for Denis's colonoscopy on Friday. I wouldn't mention it, but it is something important we should all take care of, so consider yourselves reminded. I've already got my needlepoint and audiobook ready to keep myself occupied while I'm waiting. By the time all is said and done, I'd better not sit too close to Denis; he'll be so hungry he might start nibbling on my fingers!
 
I'll leave you with a couple of photos of one of my Tombstone roses. I've never seen so many flowers and buds before, so it's obvious it's been loving all the winter rain.
 
This Tombstone rose completely covers one long section of fence.

 
 
Can you see all the buds that are waiting to open? Wow!

 
Enjoy the links!

  1. I hope Denis' procedure goes well, Cathy. In the meantime, those roses are so beautiful! We've had a lot of flowering around here, too, because of all the rain we've had, and my succulents love it. And, yes, my passport is ready to head to Giza!! ;-)

    1. Denis's procedure went extremely well, which is good because the prep almost did him in!

  3. I did the whole colonscopy thing last summer. It wasn't pleasant, but I survived. Good luck this weekend! :D

    1. No, it's not pleasant, but it can certainly save your life. A previous colonoscopy saved Denis's when it discovered a rare and very nasty form of cancer and nipped it in the bud.

  4. Merci bien! I'll just stop to offer wishes for a smooth, uneventful procedure and result for Denis before I head to Paris.
