Flower Friday (post Hurricane Florence)

Today, I'm joining Jakey for Flower Friday.

Flowers make me happy and we need some happy right now.


Now, here's a bright spot as a result of Flo.

Holy Blooming Lantana!

Trees and flowers rebloom after Florence
By Jesslyn Ferentz | October 3, 2018

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - If the warm temperatures aren’t making it feel like fall outside, the trees and flowers blooming is making it a little hard to believe its October as well.

Hurricane Florence caused extreme stress on the greenery around the area.
Strong winds ripped off bark, snapped limbs off the trees and damaged shrubs and flowers.

In response to the stress, the plant goes into a defense mode, which causes it to bud.

Mom's favorite flower (da Hydrangea)
even has a new bloom.

The blooms will last as long as they would in the spring.
So we will see blooming for a few more weeks for most of the species.

Some of the blooms that we’re seeing are on Dogwood trees, Cherry, Red Bud and even Azaleas!

Hummmm.... I wonder what dees confused plants will do next spring/summer;  butt, for now.... I'm just happy to see something beautiful blooming in my yard.

Pees....  Please keep dos paw prayers coming our way for all of those struggling to re-build dar lives after Hurricane Flo.

A pressie for ME

Look what I spied.  A wee-little flower on one of our azalea's.  I thought dey only bloomed in the Spring and den again in the Fall.

Mom says it's a Christmas pressie from Mother Nature.   Wow…. my 1st Christmas pressie.   Yippy!    Thank you Mother Nature.  

Oh…  I also got me another package dis weekend from my Santa Paws helper but Mom won't let me open it enough.   Every time I walk by it, I smell it.   I think there is some foodables in it.

So…. what's da deal about waiting to open your Christmas packages?   Do you have to wait?   I don't think this is fair.

And now for my card count (drumroll)..

                                   Me: 48 (42 cards, 1 cool calendar card and 5 e-cards)
