This is the special meal we enjoyed just before sitting down to watch the NFL Pro Bowl football game: corned beef, cabbage, boiled red potatoes and carrots. Tasty and nutritious. Click image for a close up.

We went shopping earlier this week to get groceries for the upcoming week. When we passed the flower concession stand in the supermarket, I saw some cut iris stems and also some yellow tulip stems. I thought these would look very pretty together in the vase.
I brought the flowers home and arranged them in the vase. Today, the iris started opening to reveal the beautiful purple and yellow complimentary colors. I just love it when a plan comes together! Click on the image to see full-sized.

The hoomins took me to Petsmart and bought this new fur for me. I like it ’cause it keeps me warm like my old fur did. The Mama puts it on me and I take a nap.

After the recent rain, the Icelandic Poppies in the porch planter are going crazy. This is the first open flower of about a dozen blooms. Click on the image to enlarge.

Verna planted several varieties of tomatoes in the patio and garden last year. A couple of the vines produced normal-sized tomatoes and there was another vine that grew cherry tomatoes - you know - the little bite-sized ones for salads or just for popping into your mouth.
I was in the patio yesterday and noticed a ripe cherry tomato on the vine - one of the last ones for the season. I picked it and brought it in to show Verna. She took this picture that shows the size of the tomato relative to a U.S. quarter dollar. She remarked that it was like “airline-sized food.” We had a good laugh over that.

Hi - this is Bear.
On the weekends, the Mama or the Daddy let me lick one of these ice-cold Frosty Paws. It’s like ice cream, but it only has stuff good for dogs in it.
I usually get down on my haunches and put the Frosty Paws between my paws and lick out all the cool tasty stuff until it’s all gone. Then, I get a drink of water and take a nap.
OK - Bye. Gotta get lickin’ . . .
