HaikuSkyWatchFriday @ HappilyRetiredGal
HaikuFriday#116 & SkyWatch#30 will be at
Sacred Ruminations later ... but there's
a 'kewl' video showing the birth of
a Masai Giraffe
there now.

I'm looking forward
to this afternoon when the
Cable Guy will set

up my new Sony
LCD flat screen TV
& rewire the

connection. I hope
everything unfolds as planned ...

Monday & Tuesday
where I shared the unfolding
saga ... bit by bit.

... in addition to the Cumulative Gratitude List in my Sidebar this month, here are Five Favorites from this past week:

1. The rains of the past couple of weeks in Southern California blessed my garden with Spring bulbs bursting in bloom earlier than usual. The 1st purple Iris bud I mentioned last week opened along with a few more pictured below:

I've forgotten the names of the flowers in the 2nd collage above and would appreciate knowing if anyone recognizes them.

2. Molly's still clean & sweet smelling from last week's unexpected visit to the groomer ;--)


3.
Drgngirl at Creative Self Belief gave me a Warm'N'Fuzzy award. I shared it yesterday with all my bloggy friends & visitors who leave me comments in my Witty Wednesday post.

4. Watching the birth of a Masai Giraffe in a video discovered at Ms Cellania was so fascinating that I decided to share it too.

5. I've enjoyed wonderful connections with family & friends throughout the week and am excited about some upcoming activities including (but not limited to) tomorrow's camera class, my birthday next week, reconnecting with a good friend who's moving back to my neighborhood soon, and getting my new Sony set up today.


This is my 3rd ...

Sounds like a good week. I love your flowers!

Wow! That a coincidence. Our cable guy came over today too to install our new cable and phone :)

We don't have a flat screen though.

Hope all goes smoothly!

Happy Birthday!
I'm from SoCal too but I'm afraid I don't know the name of the flower. Sorry.
I enjoyed the rains but I'm glad they're gone again.
