Today I Am Eleven

Lee woke me up this morning and told me that I, Sweet William The Scot, am eleven years old today. I'm in shock.  Don't I look shocked?

Well how did that happen?

I don't remember eleven years.  I just remember Lee and me together doing things. 

Lee baked me a special Carrot Cake for Dogs that she found on Daily Puppy and humans can eat it also.  See it behind me.  The two of us are having cake and ice cream tonight.  Lee and me together doing things.
Lee made me my birthday hat and you know I don't mind wearing it at all.

Why even my flower which I showed you last week bloomed its first flower on my birthday.
Lee says it is not quite peachy brown nor is it quite orange.
It is the color of a cantaloupe melon inside.

Welcome To My Secret Bench

Lee says the Canna bulb in the pot behind me is a new variety which should bloom a peachy brown.

The yellow sedum plant along side of me has stopped blooming as has the lily of the valley flowers.

But the arch trellis in front of me is loaded with blooms on the trumpet vine.

I, Sweet William The Scot, am just going to sit here an read a book till the Canna flower opens.

Yep a book that is bound and has a hard cover and pages that you turn that you can put a lovely bookmark in.  Lee got insulted about not having a Kindle this week and that we would sell a hard cover book.  No we would not sell we just believe books are to share.

Lee says hope your week is better than ours has been because this week seems like a month.

Parrot Day

I, Sweet William The Scot, have designed this mask especially for Parrot Day!

I will be selling them down on Blogville Square to raise money for 

Egg Protection!

We have too STOP eggs from being cracked!

To many eggs are being scrambled, fried and poached!

Why have you noticed how the cost of eggs have gone up since the Pandemic?

So we need to keep the eggs from being cracked so the birds can make more eggs!

We’ve lost 3 billion birds since 1970 in North America

Free range yep ~ Free Kismet so her eggs can get fertilized.

Then the world will have more Kismet Parrots.

Yep Kismet was one cracked egg for sure.

Happy Parrot Day Everybody

My dear dear friend Nessa Noodle who has appeared on my blog from time to time made her final journey Monday, April 27.  Nessa was thirteen years two months to the day when she got the call.  She was much loved by Kathe and her DaDa.   Nessa struggled all her life from an ailment that she acquired after getting her shots.  She could not hold her head straight and had a hard time working her mouth just to eat took quite a bit of effort. Her family did everything to give her the bestest life possible and Nessa managed to have a full life and was a true loyal Scottish Terrier.  We hold her memory in our hearts here, we shall miss you forever Nessa.  We know God welcomed her being the faithful companion she was.  Rest well my friend.

Nessa and I are entered in the doubles Sanitize the World Race!

We are racing to scrub the world clean of the Covid-19.

Nessa has all of our supplies in her Chewy Box.

Yep this is a World Wide Race.

Sanitizing is the process of reducing germs on surfaces to meet public health standards.

We are the Soap Dopers.

So when we race by your area of the world be sure to cheer us on from a safe distance.

One we don't want you to spread the germs and two you could get a mouth full of my soap.

                  Lather is the best medicine.  Oh I'm so funny!

Yep spic and span the world is going to sparkle when we are done.

                        We intend to win this race.

Nessa has her face mask on! Wait that is a mud facial mask not a protective mask.  Nessa it's the wrong type of mask!  Jeez Girls!

I got my protective mask on!

We'll see all of our friends at the finish line.

The State Of The World

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas 

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up: To more than I can be 

My good friend Nessa who follows all of our blogs but does not have one herself just sent me this picture.  Yep an underwire bra with a filler cup is good protection.  Lee said those bras that poke you had to be good for keeping something up and out.

Nessa raised my spirits up today.

Stay Home

Don't travel down my road and back again

I want you alive and well

I'm a Big Boy

Lee always calls me her Big Boy or Man Of The House.

But usually at this time of the year she confuses me.  See usually during Lent and only during Lent does Lee go to the Big Boy.  Lee says they have one of the best fish sandwiches.

Yep when we walk by this guy Lee says there is the Big Boy but wait I am her Big Boy.

I'm confused.

Lent is sad this year because we can't go to the Big Boy.

We can't go to Friday Fish Fry Dinners.

We can't pray the steps to the Holy Cross Immaculata Church in Mt. Adams.

We can't go to the Cincinnati Zoo or Krohn Conservatory to see the flowers.

Why Lee even said there will be no Easter dinner this year.
Chewy will you get me my kibbles because I at least want that for Easter Dinner under my green beans.

I say this is just a nightmare so Bugger Off Covid-19.

IN PURRSUIT OF FLAVOURS

 Easy Blog IN PURRSUIT OF FLAVOURS 

Yep I am mixing it up with the Phenny and Nelly.

To my Lee nothing is as good as a fresh salad with her homemade salad dressing.

The last of our lettuce till we can get out again!

Lee uses the tiny heirloom tomatoes particularly the deep purple ones.  Usually her salads have sliced carrots, celery, thin mandolin sliced red sweet onion and Kalamata olives the large dark purple ones.  The more colorful the better.  

So here is her special recipe for the Salad Dressing.
Ingredients
1/2 cup mayonnaise (Lee loves the mayonnaise with olive oil)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup buttermilk (whoops Lee forgot to put the buttermilk in the picture)
1 1/2 tsp. minced roasted garlic
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
Fresh ground black pepper to taste.
Instructions
Well just whisk it together

For croutons Lee takes old bread and cuts it up in no particular way.  Toss with melted butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, tossing the pan every five minutes
Make sure they are crunchy and golden
Let cool

Next time we will have roasted asparagus or maybe mashed cauliflower gratin casserole.
