Hello friends, time for another Tales of
The Traveling Tote adventure and Giveaway. Quarterly, a group of us tote
gals share a connected post about the places we have been. We have made
some wonderful friendships and some of us have met in person. We hope
you find our posts as fun as we do. You can find more about the Giveaway
at the bottom of this post. To read how this group began, you can read HERE.
It feels like spring here in sunny California. Miss Lola is loving the sunshine.
I will be glad when we get some normality back into our lives.
We were suppose to go to Kauai this year. With the Covid we just banked our weeks. Maybe next year.
We are enjoying our very own paradise.
Our sweet fur babies, Dante and Bella.
Our fur babies love getting their Gator ride everyday after their dinner.

Paul and I received our first Covid vaccine and will be receiving the second dose on March 10th. It was so easy and organized. Hopefully the second vaccine will be easy as well.
I hope you visit the other tote gals to see what they have been up to.

Linda, we are all in the same boat, no travels to share. Miss Lola looks very content to spend time outside on your beautiful property. I've spent a lot of time at our local nurseries and garden centers. Makes for a wonderful safe outing while getting ideas for new plants to add to our beds. I love all your daffodils, my favorite flower. Glad you and Paul are scheduled for your vaccine. Happy March......
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily. Daffodils are like a sign of spring to come. Visiting the nursery is so much fun. Happy planting.
DeleteYour home and gardens are a holiday:)Soon you will get back to living outside your nest too.
ReplyDeleteThank so much Monique. We feel fortunate. Soon we shall venture out more.
DeleteHa ha, love the Roomba ride! And your fur babies are adorable, how cute that they expect a nightly gator ride! I am a firmer believer that flowers make everything better, and they always bring much joy! It must have been hard to cancel your trip to Hawaii, hopefully you will be enjoying luaus and leis this year!
ReplyDeleteJenna
That was Paul's idea. ha ha. The fur babies love their daily Gator ride.
DeleteLola on the rumba is hilarious! And so are Dante and Bella getting a daily ride on the Gator. These are the simple joys we take pleasure in while on lockdown. Your garden is a dream, Linda. The daffodils in bloom are the surest sign that spring has arrived. Cheers to March and a little more of what we knew as normal in the months to come!
ReplyDeleteLola was having fun! Simple joys do make us happy. Cheers to you Rita.
DeleteI'd like to visit your resort, I mean home, Linda! I love seeing the cuties Dante and Bella on the gator riding around....what a cute photo! :D I bet they do love their after dinner rides!
ReplyDeleteHi Ricki, you are always welcome. Dante and Bella are so spoiled and we are happy to give them their daily Gator ride.
DeleteLinda, I know you are eager to travel, but your own home and property is a resort paradise. Love seeing your sweeter babies and the Rumba ride is hilarious! Enjoy your pretty spring weather.
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed Sarah as you are. We have rain this week so we shall be inside. Happy spring.
DeleteLinda, you have you very own resort that is gorgeous. Love your cute photo of the fur babies riding on the Gator. Happy March!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam. Happy March to you too.
DeleteLove the video - it made me chuckle!! Your yard is so lovely and I am sure Miss Lola and the pups enjoy having their photos taken there! Enjoy your piece of paradise!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I could make you laugh. We are enjoying the weather. More rain is needed, but it's on the way.
DeleteYes, everyone's travelling close to home these days, aren't we!
ReplyDeleteYes Debra, staying close, but soon we can get out and mingle.
DeleteI'm glad you have spring weather to enjoy Linda. We were supposed to go to Hawaii last summer too and had to cancel our plans due to Covid. At least you have your pretty spring weather and paradise to enjoy. The dogs are just the cutest! Congrats on getting your vaccines. I enjoyed looking at Lola and the nice spring photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, so sorry about your trip to Hawaii. Second dose of the vaccine is coming up. happy March.
DeleteLola seeded to have a nice day. Enjoy seeing plants. I can't wait for the snow to melt.
ReplyDeleteWe have all missed out on so much in year if our lives. Such a shame and we can't get the time back.
Always enjoy seeing the pups.

Thank you Cindy. I hope it warms up for you. It is a shame we have lost a whole year. Cheers to a brighter future.
DeleteOh loved seeing all your plants and nice weather. We are moving in that direction. How cute Lola with your fur babies. Those are the cutest pics. I know you will get to travel with Lola again soon. Have a great week. xoxo Kris
ReplyDeleteKris, thank you. Glad the weather is warming up. Wishing you great success in finding your new digs. xoxo
DeleteHow fun, Miss Lola does get around! Love the picture in the nursery, look at all those hostas and the pansies! I didn’t know you could grow daffodils, that’s wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes she does. The nursery is a lovely place for inspiration. I hope you can grow some daffodils in the next year.
DeleteAw, sorry you had to postpone your Hawaii trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne. There is always next time.
DeleteI know you and Paul live to go to Kauai, Linda, and hopefully you will be able to go next year. Being at your own home is like a paradise, especially with all your outdoor beauty with those blooming daffodils. I know that Dante and Bella add so much joy to your lives.
ReplyDeleteYes Kitty, but travel is on the back burner for now. We are enjoying our home with our fur babies.
DeleteYour backyard is almost like Hawaii. Glad to see it getting so beautiful. The dogs are enjoying all of the sun too! How fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. We do love the tropical look. I know your Cabo home is gorgeous and so sunny.
DeleteMiss Lola is always going to be in superb company if she just continues to hang with Dante and Bella. They are darling, and they obviously rule the roost. Your garden is already looking a luscious as always. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. CherryKay
ReplyDeleteThanks CherryKay. We are also working on the gardens to get them ready for spring and summer.
DeleteLove that your fur babies get their Gator ride everyday! Miss Lola is lucky to live in paradise amongst all the beauty. Hope you can get to Hawaii soon. Have a great week. xxx
