Flowers and frootbat Friday

Princess:
What is left of our garden...

We are having a "drought" here and our county just instituted water restrictions...
Since daddy recently renovated our lawn and spent a bazzillion green papers doing it, he is
exempt.
He is allowed to water the baby grass with the sprinklers every other day, and use a watering can on the other day... (odd rule) so, essentially, he is allowed to water our new grass every day.

Our flowers are saying "bye-bye ::waves:: see you next year"

This is Tithonia. It is a tall growing bright orange cheerful flower in the backyard garden!


and these are the snappy happy snapdragons on the side of the house!

and here I am in all of my pink and white frootbatty wonderfulness.
Happy Week-end kitty friends!!


Happiness is where we find it, but rarely where we seek it!

Your garden is very beautiful, and so are you, Prinnie. :)

Both of my humans have "black thumbs" and end up killing any plants they try to grow, so we just have grass in our tiny yard.

I hope you and Caesar, and your humans, have a great weekend.

Lux said...

Those flowers are just what I would expect to see at your "happy place!"

You have a wonderful weekend, too, all of you'ns!

LZ said...

We don't have any rain here either. Good thing the LL is garden inept so she doesn't water things anyway. Glad to hear you can keep watering your baby grass!

Snapdragons are very happy flowers! My Mommie remembers when she was a girl how you could squeeze the flowers from behind and make them "talk." Do you know what I mean?

Hi C-kins and P-kins. I was going to say be careful of the snappy-dragons but they look quite friendly - and then I thought if they live with you guys they must be. Have a lovely weekend, we've had a sad little week as we lost our little Buddy to the Rainbow bridge. Sigh. F-kins.

Dear Caesar and Princess;

I want to thank you for your very kind comments following The Great Cat Debate. We need more moderately liberal conservative Feline-Americans, that's for sure!

Your photos make me very sad because you guys look just like the late Siggy and Bru so I know you are good felines!

I am linking your site to mine. I appreciate your support.

I love your snapdragons. We grow them, too, and they are such happy flowers. I used to squeeze them and make them "snap", too. You look very happy in the sun, Prinnie.

There is lots of pretty left in your garden still.The prettiest flower though,is you Princess. Purrs

Laura W said...

Mosaic Lady gasped when she saw your Tithonia (orange flowers?)
So lovely!
And your quote is pretty cool too.
Do you know when I came to her house she thought her next cat would be:
Long haired
White
Male
Fat
Lazy
That was her wish list.
Instead she got me:
Short haired
Black
Girl
Skinny
WILD and ATHLETIC

You can't always get what you want
but if you try sometimes
you just might find
you get what you need!

Beautiful flowers and beautiful you:)

Tiger Lily said...

Those are beautiful flowers Princess but you are even more beautiful! I'm glad your Daddy is able to keep watering. My Daddy doesn't worry about the grass so much (it's mostly weeds) but he does try to keep the trees alive.

I just tagged you and Caesar for a new meme.

MISS PEACH ~(^.^)~ said...

I love snapdragons...some days I feel like I might snap...other days I am dragon:))) hee hee
Guess what I did today? I came out of my frying pan this evening and stayed out up till now...that would be over five hours! Plus mommy gave me a bath today...she said a week of stinky sick bay made mean icky girl cat. Then I slept on my soft fuzzy blue blanket infront of the warm stove. Life if great because I am getting better:)
Thanks for loving me...Miss Peachy

Karen Jo said...

I forgot to say that I am very glad that your Dad gets to water the new grass. I tagged you for the desktop meme. Please come to my blog for the instructions.

Caesar and Princess, it's good to meet you. Thanks for stopping by our blog. You have a beautiful garden, still lots of bloom yet, even if it is dry. Keep taking your fluids and keep up with eating, it'll make you guys feel better. Take care.

Those are pretty flowers. We don't really have a yard. Our front yard is our landlords backyard. Nothing belongs to us. Boo Hoo.

Mark's Mews (Marley, Lori, Loki, and Binq) said...

Nice flowers. We think maybe we should post some pictures of ours.

MISS PEACH ~(^.^)~ said...

Just popped back in to give you both some furrrrrry hugs!
Love Peachy

The Furry Fighter said...

that is a lovely garden you have! we get 'hosepipe' bans here in the UK most summers now - can you believe it! i am in ENGLAND, it is always raining! my meowmie has seen many people water their gardens with hospipes at midnight in the hope they won;t get caught! i guess that is a bit selfish - especially seeing as you can still use a watering can during the hosepip bans! x

muffinmidi said...

Those are very pretty flowers.Mymommy likes to grow things too, but between the drought in Florida and the heat, most of the plants she tries to grow die. oh weell.

MaoMao said...

Kittyhugs and purrs from MaoMao!

Your garden still looks good despite the drought. Ernest and I hope you get rain soon. Water restrictions are not fun!

Love the beautiful flowers and your a very lovely kitty :)

The Cat Realm said...

We are always having a drought here - I guess that is why we do not get any restrictions....
Very sweet picture of you!

MISS PEACH ~(^.^)~ said...

Wow stuff for my mommy...she will be delighted over that!
Thank you for coming for a Cat Art Sunday visit today! It was a quiet day for me in the frying pan and mommy washed my face again with a real wet washcloth! Oh mother really! Then I just paddled all the water out of my bowl ha ha! Yes, I am a stinker of an old girl:)
