Do I win some sort of prize? Or is this a sign of the End Times?

Frances loves sticks. I don’t normally want her to play with sticks, onna counta YOU’LL PUT YOUR EYE OUT. Also she is missing a couple of teeth, and I don’t want her damaging the ones she has left or worse, swallowing a piece of stick and poking a hole in her GI tract. So many worries! Franny does not care, though, about any of that. She just wants to play with sticks. Imagine the expression on her face when she realized that there was a stick bush in her yard. It was epic, yo. And then she promptly commenced to destroying it. Like ya’ do.

The butterfly bush was in desperate need of pruning, so all’s well that ends well.

So. It came to my attention that the Twitter handle PigTweetz was not taken. SHOCKING! That had to be rectified, tout de effin’ suite, which means that Piglet has been given the keys to his very own Twitter account.

The Garden

I’m not sure exactly what this is. Some kind of wild rose. I don’t think it’s multiflora, though. It volunteered last year and seems to be thriving.

The sedum is not dead, either. Yay!

Happy violets in the back field are happy. Doves are nesting in the for tree by my patio and cooing their little hearts out. Little brown birds are everywhere. My irises and surprise lilies are poking up from the ground, too. It’s Spring!
