Squirrel Proof?  We will see.

House Pet with Her Summer Hair

Mother's Day is right around the corner and since my plan is to be on some tropical beach with my favorite travel companion on that day I decided to celebrate Mother's Day a little early here.  It started with a trip to get the house pet groomed.  Nothing like a simple summer time hair cut to make a girl feel better. So after dropping Tobi off at the groomers I had to take Pearl (also know as Silver Lining) to the car wash and get the Ohio bugs off her grill from that long road trip I made to Cleveland last week.  About the time I arrived at the park to give Pearl a wax job the groomers called for me to get the house pet.  Pearl's wax job will have to wait.

 Tobi with her new summer hair was glad to get home and Mom was ready for her Mother's Day out.   So after loading up Mom and Dad we stopped for her to buy herself some new shoes for an upcoming wedding (one the whole family is very happy about) and then out for a nice Chinese Lunch Buffet.  After lunch Mom got to pick out flowers and a center plant for her strawberry pot.  As has always been true my Mom loves RED so what would she choose for the outdoor arrangement?  Red and white flowers in the outer circles with a Red Hibiscus in the center.  Mom picked out some of her favorite red geraniums, some red pentas, some white pentas, we picked up a new bird feeder too.  This one is supposed to be squirrel proof.  We will see about that and I will report back to you.  Mom and I got the bird feeder filled up and installed and we have already seen a bright red male cardinal hanging out there.  I was not fast enough to get a photo of him but if you look closely at the bird feeder photo you will see our other house pet on the screened in porch. 

So here is the finished strawberry pot project and Mom is very pleased with the results.  Now she says she needs a new 50 foot water hose (the kind that shrinks when not in use) and 4 purple petunias and her Mother's Day will be a happy one.  So a friendly reminder for my sister and she will know exactly what to get Mom for Mother's Day too.
