A Hedgehog and Spring Flowers

Meet Rosie The Hedgehog, the newest member of the zoo:

She a blonde, and even has blue eyes. You can't really see her eye color in the picture, but I know just how important that would be to you....*snort*. She is a lovely girl, 3 years old, and really rather tame. We love her.



Spring Flowers...YEAH!!!

Some Hyacinths. I really need to dig the bulbs up when they are done blooming and let them rest this summer. I should have done it last spring, but it doesn't seemed to have harmed them any.

This is a blue flower. I just can't remember what it is. Perhaps it's a anemone?

This is my Creeping Jenny. The yellow color of it is just amazing. An odd, beautiful, gold. So, it's not a flower, but isn't it pretty?
It should not be confused with Stinking Jenny, the Min Pin. She has a penchant for finding roadkill and most certainly lives up to that name.

Here is my favorite flower of all, dandelions! LOL. They really are, and I get excited when I see them. Mother's roses. Both of my kids would gather them up in the spring, carry them into me, and present them to me like they were the rarest of roses. Her Majesty has already picked me several bouquets so far this year. I love when she comes in to me, with the poor yellow flowers grasped in her grubby little hand, and her nose yellow from trying to sniff them. I have to go through the procedure of being "ever so grateful" and placing them in water. Then, the slug that I am, I usually forget about them and leave them there until they become powder puffs. I just love 'em.
