Spring Surprises and Easter RATS

First of all, thank you all for hanging with me. It's such a busy, exciting time in my life; I simply haven't had a lot of time to blog. I do read yours when I can and especially try to comment when you've left me a note here. Don't give up on me...I'll be blogging more this summer.

I wanted to show you the super Spring RAK that April sent my way. Look at the yummy candy and adorable chick pin cushion. I told her I felt guilty putting a pin in the chick ;-) Thank you sweet friend!


I thought I'd also share a picture of what I bought my daughter for her Easter gift...baby RATS. These are called DUMBO rats due to the ears. She still has her two older rats but they are aging and ailing. It will be a nice 'rat pack' that will eventually thin out as nature takes its course.


Speaking of 'nature taking its course', the baby raccoons died. We found out the rest of the litter, under other people's care, died almost the same day. Strange timing but obviously they needed something from their mother we all couldn't provide.

Have a fantastic day blog buddies! See you at your blogs soon.

I love the sweet treats, and you're right, our snow is finally melting. All we had to do was to leave for 3 days and what a wonderful surprise when we saw it had gone down 18 inches already. Yeah!!!
Thanks, always, Parsley, for stopping by.

So sorry about the coons. The rats are too cute though. Love your Spring RAK. I agree it would be hard to use as a pin cushion.

Sorry to hear about the baby raccoons. Sometimes nature just can't thrive in captivity. But, those baby rats are pretty darn cute! I'm not a rodent fan per se, but I like these guys!!
