HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

"There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free if you truly wish to be."

Welcome to the Purr Imagination benefiting Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester!

Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
Faster faster, faster faster
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing


I think Susie stole Johnny Depp's costume...


Susie and I showing off our outfits


Pam and I.  


Good people watching.  

 
The Skycoasters (http://skycoasters.com/) put on a great show as always  


Look at all that candy!


Violet Beauregarde as played by Audrey.  As you can tell, a good night was had by all!!!


Speaking of Lollypop Farm, time to paint the exterior




Megan hiking in Linear Park with Irondequoit Creek behind her.


A River Runs Through It.  What?  Penfield of course...



Legion Eyer Park.  As you can tell, there are a lot of parks near our house.  I discovered this one on Google Maps trying to find something else.  It appears there's a bike trail around here too.  Something else I have to research.


A panorama of Eyer Park


An old railroad bridge running over Irondequoit Creek


David the Gnome's house.  Possible something more vicious...


Another bridge over Irondequoit Creek


Tried out Crust Pizza Kitchen at 115 West Commercial St in East Rochester.

Good Italian sausage pizza in Edmund Lyon Park.  


Checking out the rest of town...


Busy week last week and still catching up.  More of the same this week.  Stay tuned for my next adventure: "Mike Uses His New Lawnmower."  It promises to be a dangerous experiment...

How Pinteresting

Here's Athena, my newest office mate.  This is the look she gives me when she wants me to stop running queries on the computer.


Okay, I'll give you a few minutes...


Now for the arts and craft section of the blog.  He's a centerpiece for our gala: A Night of Purrr Imagination.


The things you can do with cupcake wrappers and candy...


A giraffe in a fez.  Of course that would be on a cupcake wrapper.  


And now for the home decorating portion of arts and crafts, Here's our new swag lamp Megan made over the weekend.  


Another piece of evidence that Spring is here.  

Well, pretty glad to see the Red Wings (hockey version for the Rochester folk) were able to pull off their 22nd consecutive trip to the playoffs.  But, won't be watching the game tonight since it doesn't kick off until 10:30pm...  That is all.

Spring-ish

Elmer would like to welcome you to Spring-ish and the Lollypop Farm walk

A few of the horses





Don't play coy Emu...


Sleepy pig


Piggy pig


This is how I thought all of Upstate New York looked before I moved here.


Goose


Someday this llama will come closer


GOATS!!!


And now all the Daffodils are out.

Enough blogging for now.  It's going to be nice for only a few more minutes.  So, I'm going outside to enjoy it...

Daaaf-O-Dillll...

ANGRY CAT!  


Speaking of messes, this is not clutter; it's art.


70 degrees and sunny!  Break out the shorts and sandals, honey.  We're a goin' walkin'!  Here's East Chestnut Street in East Rochester.


A sure sign of spring were all the softball and baseball games taking place as East Rochester School.



The entrance to Edmund Lyon Park


More baseball, this time at Lyon Park.  




There's a pretty interesting neighborhood and the southeastern portion of the village.  It seems the developer was trying to create a modern elf village, which these houses don't appropriately show...  Sorry...


Our first flower at the new house.  Not bad little Daffodil.  When I came home today there were a whole row of these guys ready to pop.  I wonder what else will pop up in our yard?

That's all from Rochester.
