Bob the Feral Cat is 18 Now

Bob was in the Spring mud in the driveway this Sunday afternoon. Looking spry! I took a quick photo of him

I thought he looked pretty perky after going through a rough spell in January. Steve would bring him into our basement when the weather turned severely cold.

Steve takes such good care of him. Bob truly isn’t totally feral anymore. Our elderly neighbor had cats years ago but then went to a senior facility. We were able to capture him and another cat, had them fixed and then released.

Bob never had a tail. Bobtail.

Old Fashioned Weigela

That’s what this flowering shrub is named. I didn’t make it up. This bush grows along the driveway and the blossoms are quite lovely.

Old Fashioned Weigela. Sometimes it has a hyphen between old and fashioned.

A New Leaf

turn over a new leaf

 
phrase
If you say that you are going to turn over a new leaf, you mean that you are going to start to behave in a better or more acceptable way


So many different textures, shapes and colors.

Lots of new growth I noticed on my walk.

Pansies Say Spring

Downtown Pittsburgh. There are barrels along the sidewalk, filled with daffodils and pansies. Pansies. They don’t seem to mind the chilly temps this evening. I love the velvet petal faces.
