We have been having a few days of overcast weather lately. Yesterday, I was putting the bins out for the weekly pickup and the sun broke out. Next to me was a flash of color. | |

I paused to see what had caught my attention… Snapdragons, some garden frogs and two pots of mini-roses (budding, but not yet blooming). Our daffodils are gone, but it looks like spring is sprung. The three frogs are “Hear no evil”, “Speak no evil” and “Falling asleep” – which I guess is supposed to be “See no evil”. | |

Not A Wink On Guard

This is Teddy (the one-eyed bear)… | |
Teddy has been with my wife for as long as she can remember. Originally, “saved” to be passed down to one of our own, Teddy was reclaimed by my Hil for want of “proper” attention. For most of the last 15 (or so) years Teddy has been the proud daytime resident of our bed – tucked to the waist under our sheets and propped up against the pillows on Hil’s side of the bed. Occasionally, slipping between both sets of pillows with an arm extended on either set. Our ever vigilant guard bear… | |
Teddy is a fierce survivor! As you can see (if you click on the image to see the larger version), Teddy has lost his left eye, had major reconstructive surgery on his right shoulder and has worn a fair bit of fur off of both arms and feet and under his chinny-chin-chin. | |
All things said, he’s a good little bear who doesn’t demand much by way of food or drink. He gets by on lots of love and the occasional snuggle. | |
And each day he performs his duties: by daylight he guards our bedroom and by night he watches over us as we sleep. | |
