"Guacamole Enchiladassss!" We missed Cinco de Mayo! Oopsie. It seems, we were too busy in the garden, rolling around like dogs (quite literally in fact)…
Whilst marveling at nature's treasures. The roses are so huge this year, and they seem extra beautiful for some reason. Although Mister Lovee says, they look exactly like every other year. I think my senses are heightened…
We have 4 rose bushes that are almost 40 years old, or so, and they are ever so bountiful and kind. There are two bushes that give blood red roses, one that gives us coral roses, and a pink frosting rose bush, whose roses you can see here…
I have taken to walking up to the roses and nuzzling my face right into the center. It's the best…
I have a proper garden post planned, and snippets of the insane amount of seeds I planted, and which ones are making it. You see, it seems, the gophers and birds like to play games with me 😉
But for today, it is all about roses, and fur babies, and the tiny lawn…
I had big dreams for my garden this year. So, I planted and planted and toiled, and now, the results are popping up here and there. I even worked on this super dry patch of earth, surrounded by the remnants of a greenhouse that was once on this property. I prepared the ground, planted grass seeds in that space, and grass grew in 7 days.
I still can't believe it. I know some of you lucky ducks live in green land, but I live in desert land, so having a tiny lawn to roll around in has been a treat indeed. (plus, I had never tried to grow grass before, nor did I really know what I was doing 😉
But the roses, the roses never let us down. The first year I found myself at this place, almost 10 years ago, it was April, and the roses were in full bloom.
Mister gave me a basket and let me cut so many roses, that I was able to carpet a path with rose petals. I will never forget that spring and summer…
I have been a part of this place, since that very weekend in April, all those years ago.
And now, we get to share the rose love…
With furry little children…
And, with you!
Today, while we were rolling in the grass, I took a wee video. And, I decided to take the opportunity to properly thank you for all the love that so many of you continue to send Baby's way.
We are so thankful for your good vibes, for prayers, for positive thoughts sent into the universe, and into the heavens. You can't imagine what it means to me, to know that others love fur babies as much as I do, and that I am not alone in that.
Anyhow, here is a snippet of fur baby love, with many thanks sent your way…
(Matty is a love (even though he is really mean to strangers), but every time he sees me with the video camera, he gives me the cold shoulder, haha!)
See you, super soon 😉

I got all teary looking at your beautiful fur babies. You share so much love and you are so lucky to have each other. Thank you so much for sharing your moments with us.
Hugs from far away!
Oh, so sweet!! I love furbabies 🙂
You can tell Matty loves his big sister.
We adopted a lab-border collie mix who is 5 months old. So lovey!
Thank you for sharing all this love and joy. It is an inspiration to see the caring and love between your babies and it is obvious that they learned it from you. What a nice way to start my day.

My heart just melted 🙂
OH!!! I’m swooning with sweetness at your beautiful fur babies!! Sweet Baby, she is the most precious pup!! And Dear little Matty seems rather shy, I know just how she feels around cameras! Thank You for sharing such a lovely little film!

Vanessa, I love the video! Thank you for sharing it with us. It’s kind of sweet that Matty is mean to strangers. LOL. I guess he’s just very protective of you.
Please keep doing what you do. It’s always fun to stop by and see what’s going on in your fanciful world.
How lovely; dogs need to smell flowers too, don’t they….
lovely color..also the dog and flowers..
I’m supposed to be working on my deadline, but something said to look on here while eating lunch, and I’m so glad I did.
I wanted to reach right through the screen to pet their soft fur too. I almost touched the screen, hehe. Sending lots of good vibes. Love the roses – I thought I could almost smell them too. Or maybe those are mine coming through the window, hehe.
aaww fur babies
I love how we save our sweetest voices for them.
much love to you and your babies

Ooh, dear Vanessa, thank you for letting us get up-close and personal with your sweet ones. I shed some tears. I almost felt like I was getting to pet sweet Baby–she was so close! How sweet that she was craving your attention, and how sweet that Matty came over to show a little love, too. Oh, and those gorgeous roses! Wonder what you have planned for them. : )
VAVAVA Vanessa! Oh LoVe!!! The shot of Matty smelling the rose, the gigantic, wondrous, pink pink roses, the movie of the Fur Babies. Oh, let’s not forget your voice…your sweet sweet voice. I am feeling sleepy…I am completely relaxed. I feel surrounded my love and life and, and more love! **blows kisses** Deb
aaww such a sweet video.. i love how maddie gives love to baby… so sweet.
blessings
~*~
ooppss.. sorry i spelled matty’s name wrong in the above post! 🙁
Such a sweet video and such sweet babies! I will continue sending my love to Baby. Those pink roses are just gorgeous too! ~Lauren
Awww, what cute fur babies! I love seeing them in action! 😀
They just make me want to snuggle with my puppy too 😉 Baby and Matty are sweet…even though Matty was trying to be a tough guy and all, tee hee 😉 My Mums doggie is like that any time you get the camera out, it always cracks me up! Big hugs to Baby!
Jamie 🙂
ms. v: a wheelbarrel full of roses??!!!
the scent must lift you right off the ground.
the shot with baby and that perfect rose is one i hope you keep nearby forever.
i have no confidence in planting grass so your success nudges me alittle more toward flinging those seeds myself. i love grass. i love how it smells, how it feels, how it holds the dew in the early morning.
baby reminds me of my stella. i wish health for both of them. we are dealing with steroids this week (yuk) and probably/hopefully surgery soon after.
happy day, neighbor.
oh those roses…..
kj
My goodness those roses are amazing, how can you have such beautiful roses and no grass??? Though your new grass looks truly roll worthy!
Kiss Noises Linda
They truly look like frosting! Are they really called pink frosting? Gorgeous and sweet. Blessings and enjoy the green. Your efforts are seen by the faeries, hee hee.
I just ADORED seeing the video of the fur babies…..sooooooooo sweet!!
Sending love to all at your home,
LuLu🖤
you are always so sweet like a fairy queen…
Such a sweet, sweet video of your babies. My eyes are filled with tears at the thought of a fur baby not feeling well, BUT she has so much love from all of you there with her, and so many of us out here, that knowing that can be a comfort! Take care!
Kim
Hello dear Vanessa! What a sweet, sweet video. My little fur baby watched with great interest, as he could hear Baby and her contented sounds. I tried to get a photo of him as he intently watched the screen! Baby is so beautiful, as is Matty. Thank you for sharing this most precious of videos! By the way, your roses are so pretty…I can almost smell them from here. Our irises are just starting to peek out – can’t wait until they are in full bloom.
Enjoy your weekend with Mister Lovey and the furry babies!!! 🙂 Theresa
Ms Fanciful…your Baby is so sweet and reminds me so much of our Itty.
so fun to HEAR you! guys.

those are the most gorgeous roses I’ve seen yet … why am I not surprised that you have flowers that rival those in Alice’s Wonderland???
I could almost smell those roses! So beautiful!….. But your sweet dogs were just as beautiful too. 🙂 Thanks for sharing xx
Ahhhh, que rosas tan hermosas! Que tipo de rosal es–en la primera fotografia? Tus fotos son como un sueño de hadas y duendes… Preciosas¡
Te mando un abrazo

You warmed my heart with the video of Baby and Matty. I am glad Baby is doing OK, but tears still came to my eyes.
Warm hugs come your way to your furry babies and to you too…from me!
Well, we did have tacos, beans and cheese, and tortilla chips for dinner the day AFTER Cinco de Mayo…so we missed it too!
And I could almost smell your beautiful roses!
XOXO
Happy Furry Baby Mother’s Day to you!
i love your photo’s, i think my favorite was the one with your dog sniffing the rose it was too cute.

puppy love, ye dove, ye dove.

Oh how sweet, Vanessa. Love seeing your furbabies. They are just precious! I’m still praying for Baby. Have a nice weekend! Twyla
That first photo of the trike basket full of roses is stunning! Such big beautiful blooms.
Many, many good thoughts to you and the furry ones…
Furbaby love and pink roses, just perfect.
The roses are beautiful!
Matty and Baby are dear – lucky to have you!
Terrific post.
genial!
Oh, Vanessa, I am so glad to know I am not the only one who talks to her furry babies this way. That’s how it is every day over here. We have a sweet dog, Winslow, and a sassy cat, Ramses, who love each other dearly and every night lick each other’s faces. They have a thing or two to teach us about love, don’t they? Sending all my healing power to Baby!! And much love to you and your little family! Silke
Thank you for this sweet video!
Your roses are beautiful….and the video is so sweet….hugs to you and the doggies.
Roses sending their fragrance and color into the world…leaving a magical footstep.
Fur babies sending their love throughout the land. Sweet, precious Baby. Adorable Matty! How wonderful to see them so intimately..even though Matty gave us the cold shoulder. HA!
Hugging you
SueAnn
