And trust me, I have almost as many cats as I do sheep.....

But I'll spare you...and my weary camera.  I'll leave you with just a very few....seems my cats come in twos:

My two favorite big cats.....

If you stayed with me through this, you are a tenacious soul....Aren't you glad I don't do this very often???

Happy, Happy, Spring!

An Overdue Thank-You

Her newest giveaway ends on March 31st....so hurry over and get yourself signed on for a chance to win one of Brandy's wonderful creations!



Riddles and Rhymes And A Wee Bit of Springtime....

....And that's all the rhyming you're getting out of this crow today.  (You're welcome.)

In other words....."What I won't do for a bunny."  Not just any bunny....but one of Traci's bunnies.....

If you have been paying attention to my sidebar, you would know that Traci from York Mountain Primitives is giving away sweet little guy:

But she's making us work for it.....

Well, sort of.....Each week she is having a little Easter egg hunt....If you play along, you get extra chances at that stinking cute bunneh - and a chance to win one of Traci's weekly prizes.  This week was all about riddles.....Three total.

The first riddle:

I am something that

comes in the pastel colors of Spring

I am soft and a bit of a squishy thing

one box may do, but you'd prefer two

so there you have it, this is your clue

I am ?

My answer:

(No, Traci, they really aren't from last year.....) ;o)

The second riddle was:

Many will say that size doesn't matter

but this time of year the bigger the better

Fashioned from gourds, quills, splints or deer antler

there's not much you own that I can not handle

What am I?

My answer:

And the third riddle was:

Dating way back to the early 1800's, I'm sweet as can be, my popularity no wonder

Spring is the season of rebirth & growth, I've long been associated as a symbol of them both

molded and tucked in a pretty hidden basket,

if someone steals yours...you may just blow a gasket.

My answer:

(Yes, there's really a chocolate one in there...and no, a girl can't have too many chocolate molds....)

You know I can't resist a good scavenger hunt or riddle....

There's still time if you want to play too.... Traci's giveaway runs through March 20th.  (Just don't steal my answers, ok?) ;o)

Thanks for the fun Traci!
