The party last night was great fun. Thank you (e:Matthew) for inviting us.

My gardens are starting to bloom and Mother Nature is persistent.

I went out this morning and cut open the landscaping fabric to let the bulbs through. The landscaping fabric was necessary to try to combat the Bishop's Weed that has been overrunning the garden, but I didn't know where all the bulbs were planted but I'm finding out now.

(e:Matthew) let me know what flowers or plants or veggies you're looking for. I'm always working in my gardens in the summer. If I can ever figure out how to split my poppies, I'd be happy to share them with you.

A personal friend of mine has a friend who lost her dog yesterday. Please keep a look out for him. The owners name is Carima and her contact information is listed in this post.

His name is "Copper" and he was rescued a few months ago from out of state.

He was seen yesterday at Forest Lawn Cemetery in the morning and then near Sheridan and Parker in Tonawanda in the afternoon. He may have kept heading toward Lockport or other suburbs.


Copper is a Basenji. This breed of dog doesn't have a typical bark, it is more like a funny sounding yodel.

The link is to wikipedi showing a picture of the breed.




Carima's email is Carima@p22.com and she has a blackberry with her all the time. If you hear of anyone seeing him, PLEASE let her know. Her boys are heartbroken without Copper.

All the police and shelter's have been contacted and there hasn't been any site of him yet today.

This nice weather has finally drawn me out of my house!

Friday night, myself and the Mr. walked down to visit with our neighbors and have a couple drinks and just socialize a bit.

Saturday afternoon I walked over to the newly opened visitors center at the Darwin Martin House. It's a nice space.

Saturday night I met up with some friends and we went to Buffalo Gay Bingo. As usual I did not win but I had a lot of fun.

While standing in line to get in, the oddest woman decides to talk to us. She tells us all about how her son has the super hot new bf and she wants him to send her pics of the hot new bf and that her granddaughter doesn't like to wear underpants because she gets wedgies since she doesn't have a booty.

whoa TMI lady! Yes, all of that information came out in one long sentence.

Guessing my freak magnet is super strong for 2009.

Sunday night I made homemade poptarts. This really comes down to me taking Wegmans pie crusts and rolling them out a bit and then cutting rectangular pieces and filling those pieces with frozen blueberries mixed with sugar.

Next time, I am going to use some of my homemade jam as the blueberries were big and kinda lumpy and at least one pie suffered a a bit of a filling explosion.

I have it!

I'm sorry to say I cannot share it yet since it is in the form of a couple sprouted seeds that are carefully being tended to in our spare bedroom aka the plant nursery.

Much to my surprise when I checked on my "babies" last night, a few of my Cosmos seeds had sprouted already.

The nicer weather prompted me to go to Urban Roots to buy my seed starting supplies.

I planted a few flowers and veggies and have everything setup in our spare bedroom. It's the warmest room in our house and once the weather is a little better I can move the seedlings (I hope they sprout) out to our covered front porch which is like a greenhouse.

(e:tinypliny) I downloaded an app for my iPod touch that helps me keep track if my shopping lists and costs. It's not exactly what I want but it's a start and better than manually entering everything in to Excel.
