March ~ Celebrating Sadie




M A R C H



March is always a time to celebrate

here at Hyacinths for the Soul.





It's the month that our sweet

  Sadie Mercedes came to live with us.





When we adopted her on March 10, 2012,

our life was immediately filled with a new joy.

 Here we are getting to know each other that first week.





She arrived a shy little girl,

having been left at the Austin Humane Society

by previous owners who for some reason 

could no longer care for her, her brother, and her parents.





Luckily for us, Wee Rescue

rescued her from the Austin Humane Society

and fostered her until we showed up at a 

Saturday Wee Rescue Meet and Greet.




It was love at first sight!


Sadie loves her toys and brings them

 to us when she wants to play.  

 She likes us to throw them for her to retrieve.

 Then she brings them back and wants to play tug of war.



A girl after my heart, her favorite toy 

 is her Courtly Check bone.



Sometimes she gets a bit mischievous and pulls

 things out of the closet wanting to play.  

 I'm always finding socks scattered about upstairs.


Sadie has the sweetest disposition, loves to snuggle,

 and is always right where we are.




 And this girl loves to eat!



Thanks, Wee Rescue!

Our hearts are full of gratitude 

 as we celebrate five years!



I'm pleased to announce the winner of the 

 MacKenzie-Childs Green Flower Market Vase is
  Bonnie @ Living With Thanksgiving.


Congratulations!

 Bonnie, please send me an email so we can get

 this pretty vase to you for those spring bouquets. 



Look for the Traveling Totes to return June 1st

 with new adventures and a new give away.

March ~ 2016


M A R C H ~  2016


As the saying goes,


"March comes in like a lion."


 "Goes out like a lamb."

Typically March begins with cold wintery weather

 and goes out with the mild and gentle feel of spring.

 Today, here in Texas at least, 

 March came in like a lamb with a perfect spring-like day. 





March 1 ~ National Pig Day

 Did you miss this one, or did you celebrate the pig?

 Do you know pigs are one of the 

 most intellectual domesticated animals?

 They are very social creatures, can learn tricks, 

 and some varieties are raised as pets.

 Click here to join these cuties for a Pink Pig Party.

 All the famous pig personalities will be there.


March 2 ~ Texas Independence Day

 Those of you not from Texas, 

likely don't have this date highlighted on your calendar, 

 but it's an official holiday here in Texas.

 March 2, 1836 is the date that Texas 

 declared its independence from Mexico.

 It is also the birthday of Sam Houston, 

 the man who led Texas to victory over 

 Mexican troops at the Battle of San Jacinto. 

 March 2 is also the birthday of one of my BFF.

 Happy Birthday, Ann!

 March 10 ~ Sadie Mercedes' Adoption Day

 This date is very special here at Hyacinths for the Soul.

 It marks the anniversary of when our sweet

 Sadie Mercedes came to live with us.

 Thank you, Wee Rescue for allowing us

 the privilege of adopting this precious girl 

 who fills our lives with joy beyond measure.

 March 14 ~ National Pi Day

 National Pi Day celebrates the mathematical constant π.

 The digits 3, 1, 4 are the first significant 

 digits of Ï€, thus the date, 3-1-4.  

 My good friend and mathematics educator, 

 Judith @ Botanic Bleu

 suggested that I must include this important date.  

 I plan to celebrate with a pie from my favorite source.

 What will you do to celebrate?


March 16 ~ Cuisine Kathleen's 
Annual Blog Crawl

Get your green on and join 

 Cuisine Kathleen's 

 8th Annual St. Patrick's Blog Crawl.

 There are sure to be lots of leprechauns causing mischief

 on tabletops across Blogland, and no doubt you are all curious

 to see who received the Traveling Shamrock Cloth this year.

 You can read about the Traveling Shamrock Cloth here.



March 17 ~ St. Patrick's Day

 Lhasa Apso's are from Tibet, not Ireland,

 but Miss Sadie will be wearing her sparkly 

 green bow to celebrate the day.

 How do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?


March 20 ~ First Day of Spring
