Spring arrived yesterday and much to my surprise the season is blessing us with some sunny, not-too-cold days. Very unusual as the spring equinox is far more likely to bring bitter gales and foul weather.
Mo [my pug and dear companion] was born on the first day of spring, 8 years ago.
Yes, baby Mo is quite the man now, though like all pugs he retains that cute puppy face---a bit grey now..
And like many pugs Mo always has a birthday party.
"To you I am the dog, but to my family, I am the baby!"
With cake, candles, gifts and party hat.
He knows something special is happening.
The cake was a success though he prefers bakery carrot cake, human grade.

Meanwhile, the paperwhite narcissus celebrated spring by finally blooming. Quite a spectacular show! Week 9 to 10.
Have a good week! Flower Show post on Friday-ish, check back.

gone to the beach...
no beach walks this past week, the boardwalk was removed for its annual repair and the huge scary trucks returned. Mo and I garden peeped in search of spring flowers instead.
Seaglass bottles with newest finds and sprigs.
The oystercatchers returned March 17, in dense pea soup fog, so no new pics yet.

Happy birthday Mo--and Happy Spring ;)))
ReplyDeleteWe have cold breezes here but the sun was really nice...hugs, Julierose
Oh so good to see signs of spring! Including Mo's birthday! We have never celebrated any dogs birthday, but it is cute that you do.
ReplyDeleteNice to see your indoor flowers blooming too! Yay for spring!
Very cute about Mo's birthday, and it's nice to see signs of spring starting with sunshine!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Mo, too! It doesn't seem like it's been EIGHT years since you got him! Time flies... Having pets is a challenge at times but they're so worth it! I love his new tags, too!
ReplyDeleteI spotted my snowdrops blooming but didn't go take a picture like I normally do. It rained all day yesterday and is again today, and my sinuses are giving me fits - not sure what that's about but I hope it doesn't last long.
Hope you have a good week! Take care and thanks for sharing!
Belated Happy Birthday wishes to Mo. I love the photo of him looking at his birthday biscuit. Too, too cute.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like spring is arriving earlier in your area that in ours. I've seen a few crocus and we're just beginning to see green buds on shrubs. Today was cold and the next few days are predicted to be cold, too. March came in like a lamb....
