Hi! Another April week has flown by. Mostly we have had rain and fog---a thunderstorm right now, as Mo snores through his walk time, oblivious. Looking back can count two bright sunny days and Mo and I took long pleasant walks, enjoying every hopeful moment.
Late April brings the trees here into bloom. I adore flowering trees, to me they seem magical, so wildly brighht like cotton candy or birthday cake roses. I tried to capture their brief, ephemeral beauty for us to share.
Mo also enjoys the fresh green grass, he roils and grunts in puggy ecstasy.
Then, "Mommy made me have a bath cos I got grass stains. Sherry the Groomer came to visit."
''So unfair, I like being green.''

Flea market note:
I braved the midday thunderstorm and downpour to go to the church flea today. It was packed with shoppers. Lots of folks seem to think flea marketing is a fun idea for a rainy afternoon. [no parking, walking about six blocks,] Inside the shelves were filled but nothing appealed and the prices seemed high.
The brown gravy boat was still there, but 5.oo? Not today. A couple of sweet pitchers, one a sweet sky blue with a pink rose, sort of 1910-ish/ matte glaze, made in Japan. 5.oo/ no. The other was a chunky japonaise milk jug, blue and white transferware, 5.oo. No. And last a small-ish yellowware mixing bowl with brown stripes, 5.oo/ nope. I didn't even take pics to share with you guys, maybe next week. The drive and walk in bad weather just plain wore me out, if only in my mind. Maybe next week.
Have a fun weekend!
love

Looks like you've got some weird ads showing up again!
ReplyDeleteI love the flowering trees, too! They've been especially pretty here this spring, no late freezes to mess up the blooms. Nice, but the trade-off is all the pollen!
The trees look beautiful, especially alongside the green.
ReplyDeleteSorry the flea was a little disappointing. Maybe next time.
Oh that pink belly on Mo. He's the cutest!

Can I be jealous? Not much blooming here and we got snow this morning!...lol But soon, I will have green. Mo looks so cute and happy. :) Kit
ReplyDeleteLove springtime! We're still waiting on the best of the blooms, but I'm loving all the new green popping up.:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a combination - glorious blossoms and that precious pug! He must have had a ball rolling around on the grass, like a frolicking spring lamb. Penny
ReplyDeleteSo glad MO isn't frightened of thunder storms! That would be quite the shaking time!
ReplyDeleteI trained him from when he was a baby. When there was a storm I'd give him bits of deli turkey and say Good storm, good storm, oooh pretty! Sounds stupid but pugs will learn anything for food and attention. Now he snores right on thru.
DeleteFlowering trees are one of Spring's delights. Hey, I could learn things with food and attention!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos here and I had a great time with your article. Love the pink trees and blue skies. Thank you.
