hello my adoring readers! it’s me; bella! i know i haven’t posted for a long time but i’ve been pretty good. well … good for me anyway. mommy says i never have a halo over my head but i don’t know what she means by that. who would want something hanging over their head anyhoo? beats me.

we haven’t really had any winter here. i love snow, so it’s been kind of a downer. but, as they say in dogville, when winter give you grass instead of snow — make grass angels!

here’s how you do it.

first pick a nice patch of dried up grass in the yard. make eye contact with the person you want to make laugh (or annoy). you choose.

then you start the roll like this: (are you watching??)

make sure you take full advantage of the situation while still on your back! be sure to wiggle your butt and kick your legs!

finishing up on the other side

and if you’ve done it properly you will end up looking like this:

you might have to try it a time or two to get it right. it does take some practice. if you like getting brushed you will enjoy this activity even more. if you don’t, well, be prepared to stay outside until you don’t have any more grass on you because your mommy will be annoyed with you and not let you in the house.

let me know how you make out!

Since mine aren’t blooming yet and I don’t have plain yellow ones, I walked over to the neighbor’s to capture theirs. With all the foggy starts to the mornings here this week I need all the yellow I can get since it’s not coming from the sun!

In the early morning.
This morning it was kind of dark and foggy outside yet the forsythia seemed lit up from within.
