Spring, Kid Size Tumbleweeds & Cats Hittin the Nip

Out working in the garden again, waiting for the last freeze to happen at night....bought the girls some plants to create a garden to play with their action figures in and also as a reward for being good while I was not feeling well...



Look at my pretty lilies can't wait for blooms


























And our replanted gifted apple tree from our beautiful neighbor who is trying to find her yard's personality...this is hard to do here in the desert where we have sand not even anything remotely resembling soil and LOTSO WIND...



























Speaking of wind here is a tumbleweed I plucked from amongst my rosebushes and this is not even a big one I barely got out alive trying to squish it into a garbage can so it could not sprout it's evil minions in the rocks in my front yard



























It even attempted to eat my kid...seriously you have to swerve to avoid these big ones on the road and I have seen some chasing down VW bugs...


And last how do you keep 2 kittens happy when you are sick and they are wanting spring to hurry up so the windows and doors can be open to give them spring fever rampages through the house....I call them rampaging buffalo because they run amok through EVERYTHING sweeping stuff off tables and leaping impossible distances from furniture to furniture....they are content with a glob of the nip...here is Toph completely stoned out of her gourd, she sat like this for about 20 minutes I was wondering if she was awake but she was happy and then she got the munchies

They are happy kitties now because my upstairs windows and front gate can be open, the doggies are in the neighbors yard to stare at and the birds are teasing them through the windows....we even let them out in the backyard on leashes to roll around and explore...will get pics of those later
