Wordless Wednesday
Get a load of the look on this cats face? Does it look peeved to you? I think someone must have disturbed the little fella while he was playing on the computer …. with the mouse of course.
Actually there’s a paper that says Iams stuck to the front of the computer. Perhaps the cat is peeved because he’s hungry?
Our neighbors finally sold their home a couple of months ago and they moved out this past Thursday and Friday. I really didn’t think they’d manage to sell their home since they had the price so high – very high considering they hadn’t done anything to the home and I’ve just found out that the kitchen doesn’t even have a stove! No wonder they were always using their deep fryer on their side of the enclosed back porch. Geez!
Anyway, the new neighbors came by on Saturday and we met them. Well, Chris talked to the husband a few times, and he and I both spoke with the wife. From what we can tell they seem like a really nice couple.
They’ve decided to do a bit of work around the home before they move in and don’t plan to fully move in until the beginning of July. We didn’t ask, but I suspect that they are currently living in an apartment. When we bought our house we kept our apartment for an extra month as well (cashed in on that first and last and as a result didn’t pay rent for that last month) as we did work around our home.
Apparently our area is quite hot in the Real Estate market. Our new neighbor told me that her agent and all their friends said this was really an up and coming area. Cool .. No wonder there are so many houses going up for sale and new people moving in so often lately! We might have to hang theater rope to keep the potential buyers at bay!
The new neighbor – the man – plays in a band so I’m sure he and Chris will end up getting together to jam. Both are guitar players.
As I said I only met the new lady of the house once, but she seemed very nice, down to earth and I have a feeling we’ll get along quite well.
Chris and I are excited about having our puppy around and the fact that we’ll more than likely be outside doing more interesting activities this year as a result.
We’ve even gone so far as to brainstorm regarding all the different places we can take our dog and what interesting things we can do with her. I’ve mentioned many times that I’ve enjoyed just getting out each day to take her for a walk, but we can do so much more.
For example we love taking her to the park and watching her run around on her long leash. We aren’t comfortable with her going leashless yet although she’s fairly responsive when we call her to come to us. We’ve also taken her to a few of our Toronto beaches already. I’m sure she’ll really enjoy that in the heat of the summer when she can take a nice dip in the cool waters of Lake Ontario to cool off.
Lately I’ve been considering getting skate shoes. She loves her walks, but if I get skate shoes I could go even farther with her without over tiring myself.
I think she’s still a little too young and not obedient enough to tag along beside our bikes if we went riding … plus they say you really shouldn’t take young dogs running for any major distances until they are about two years old as they can hurt themselves more easily.
Anyone have any great suggestions as to what else we can do with our dog this summer?
BTW we’re enjoying a feast today thanks to our neighbors and the fact that they are celebrating Greek Orthodox Easter. Take a look at the delicacies they gave us! Yummmmm!
I just realized that I don’t have enough yellow tulips growing in my garden. You might remember last year I kept posting about my orange tulips. They were so pretty and I was in love with their fiery color, but this year I think yellow has captured my interest.
The yellow tulip that I’ve shown above is a lily flowering tulip I believe. Some of it’s petals will be slightly longer than the rest and they’ll spread out very much like a lily. Quite pretty really.
Another flower that’s looking lovely in my garden this spring is the Glory of the Snow flowers. I have several clumps of them growing in the front and back garden beds in pink, white and purple/blue. Most of the ones in the back garden are starting to fade away, but the ones in the front, where it’s shadier are at their prime.
Are there any plants that you really enjoy each spring?
Today is gardening day at some of my blogs. See what’s growing over at my gardening blog and what’s blooming over at Tricia’s Musings.
