True Colours Thursday - ORANGE & LEMON!

I thought I was seriously in trouble this week, as when struggling with a colour, Merry has always come to my rescue.

But after Saturdays photograph of her and Master Stormy cuddling, I was in her bad books big time.

Yet, what did she do?

Quietly donned her ORANGE & LEMON floral scarf and rallied Polly Pola & Peaches to the cause too with their appropiate scarfs...

Then, she found one of Mother's Kensitas Flower cards showing an Antirrhinum embroidered in ORANGE & LEMON silks...

And Polly Pola not to be out done, proudly showed off her toy Elephant...Thank-you girls, your help was much appreciated.
Next weeks colour is NAVY - I wonder if I will be pushing my luck with dear Merry if I mention Stormy again!!!

True Colours Thursday - PUCE!

PUCE!

It was paws in the air, I can tell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But then, Mother pointed out that she had not only bought a fancy hat from that Bear Fair for Merry, but another one, especially chosen with today's colour in mind - Yes, well - you could have told me earlier!

It was for Polly Pola, whose taste in head attire has been highly questionable in the past.

She has been known to actually enjoy, unlike my-self, wearing pants on her head to please Bob T Bear (esq.) who named her!!!

Personally, I think this Pixie look is much more becoming...

As to whether it & it's button decoration and her handkerchief are PUCE, I am keeping an open mind on!

I am to tell you, both Merry's & Polly's hats were created by Gylls Bears.

True Colours Thursday - GREEN!

With still no GREEN Hug member, I was once again struggling.
Polly Pola, pointed out her favourite story book had a GREEN cover...But, I thought I needed something more substantial.
So, when Mother was not hogging the laptop, I turned to Google Images.
And after pawing in 'GREEN bear', this was what I found...Shock, horrow!!!
I just had to find out the full story, which meant another Google search!
Discovered this press release from 2007...
"Three normally white polar bears at Higashiyama Zoo & Botanical Gardens in central Japan changed their colour in July after swimming in a pond with an overgrowth of algae.
The sight of GREEN polar bears prompted many questions from visitors concerned about the animals welfare!
In a statement made by Zoo official Masami Kurobe, he said 'High Summer temperatures & less-frequent water changes because of the zoo's conservation efforts caused an algae growth in the bear pond & safety moat. And, algae that enters hollow spaces in the bears' fur, is hard to rinse off. The bears are expected to return to their natural colour when the growth subsides in November.'"

Mmm, very interesting!
Do hope, he was telling the truth as Polly Pola was most distraught.
Hugs,

True Colours Thursday - MAUVE!

Today, I am going to introduce Sunday.
Here she is cosily dressed in her MAUVE cardigan clutching a box of her favourite chocolates, she does share...Now, her start in life was not so comfortable.
Mother first encountered Sunday's identical cousins & maybe even her, piled high in a cardboard box and on sale in a Sainsburys supermarket, as Mothering Sunday presents, hence the name...She was sure, they would all quickly find loving homes because they were the softest, softest bears she had ever encountered, their fur being almost as delicate as a Chinchilla's, which you apparently can barely feel when touched!
Anyway, Mothers Day 2007 came & went.
The following week, much to Mother's surprise, she came across Sunday, already abandoned & languishing in Oxfam's charity shop.
She wondered what sort of mother gave her away her gift so quickly!!!
And, scooped Sunday up and brought her home.
Hug introductions to Blue Bonnet, Chester, Ollie, Blueberry, Mitch, Barney & Little Precious followed...Sunday settled in well, but complained of the cold, so her Pink ribbon was exchanged for the MAUVE babies coat.
When Miss Polly Pola arrived, Sunday mothered her straight away.
They are still very close and read fairy tales together...So, Sunday's story has a happy ending, like my own.
Hugs,

True Colours Thursday - TURQUOISE!

I admit this weeks colour did challenge me!

Then, Miss Polly Pola found and donned Mothers 'mardi- gras' beads...Phew!

Hugs,

Pants & Pawty Time!

Woke this morning, to find I had received an invitation!
No less than, from, young Bob T Bear, Esq; to attend a very special Blog celebration of his...

Amongst other treats, he has promised home-made cakes...

I was naturally, very excited!

So, enquired off Mother, if I would need any special Pawty attire.

Regretted, asking almost immediately.

She said - yes , wait for it, I would require pants!

And, I would have to wear them on my head!!!

Apparently, Bob, has a thing about frolicking with them.

There is even to be Pant Pen @ the Pawty...I was, more than a little taken back!

The things, these youngsters, get up to now-a-days!!!

But, never let it be said, that I am a stick in the mud.

Though, wearing a pair of Mother's Peach coloured britches, turban style, does feel a little strange to say the least...

I would have preferred Blue.

But, she is behind with doing the laundry!

And, I did stipulate clean pants.
Any way, as a good guest, I am thoughtfully, taking along my favourite biscuits, Jaffa Cakes - they have yummy Orange centres.

Also, another Hug member is attending Bob's pawty with me...

It seems Miss Polly Pola, is a old friend of Bobs.

He actually named her, saying she obviously, had Polar Bear genes!

Now, another Pawty requirement, apart from pants, it seems, is Jokes!

So, here we go...

Mother, also invited, is offering:-

Q: Have you ever hunted bear?

A: No, but I've been shooting in my shorts!
Q: How do you start a teddy bear race?

A: Ready, teddy, go!
Q: What do you get if you cross a grizzly bear and a harp?

A: A bear faced lyre!
Mmm!

Miss Polly came up with these:-

Q: What kind of money do polo bears use?

A: Ice lolly

Q: What do you call a big white bear with a hole in his middle?

A: A polo bear!

Q: Why is a polar bear cheap to have as a pet?

A: It lives on ice!

Q: What do polo bears have for lunch?

A: Ice burgers!

Yes, a good effort.

And, finally my own small selection:-

Q: What do you get if you cross a teddy bear with a pig?

A: A teddy boar!

Q: What's a teddy bears favorite pasta?

A: Tagliateddy!

Particularly, liked this one!

Q: What should you call a bald teddy?

A: Fred bear!
Q: What do you get if you cross a skunk with a bear?

A: Winnie the Pooh!
Q: What is a bear's favorite drink?

A: Koka-Koala!

Hee-hee!!!

As the Pawty, is to be a weekend long affair, only hope my stamina holds!
Trust I will see you all there.
Hugs,
