Quarantine Diaries Day 11 & 12
Yesterday I woke from my beauty nap and was in the most wonderful SUN puddle! YAY SUN! I stomped to go investigate my outdoor kingdom. What I found there can only be classified as a quarantine miracle! Greens sprouting from the ground! I could hardly contain my joy but I put on my inspector tort hat (its there you just can’t see it) cause I had work to do.
I’ve been working hard, taste tasting every leaf that has sprouted, in order to ensure its quality. So far all leaves have received my approval. It’s a tough job but some tort has to do it.
Our good friend Ron decided to test out his gardening skills by growing dandelions! He is my favorite friend. 😍🐢🎉🎉 omnomnomnom!!
It’s the first day of spring!
(unfortunately, this memory from last spring is gonna have to tide Zoya over till the dandelions start growing)
Well, spring is here and it’s slowly starting to feel that way! So today we can start to welcome our shell friends that have slept through winter, back from their cold time’s nap! Yep, it’s the first of many, Welcome back Wednesday’s!
Welcome back, Mr. Schneider! I hope you are well rested and ready to go! There’s lots of dominating to do!
