Silly Saturday: Cat and Mouse

On September 25, was hair cut day.  Our hair dresser, Debra, volunteers with a animal rescue group and fosters cats.  She was trying her best to get us to adopt Miss B a 17 lb,5 year old...she looks like a Siamese/Maine Coon mix.  However, before she tried to get me to adopt her she told me that Miss B wakes her up every morning at 3 am by tapping her on the head.  I cannot even imagine a 17 lb cat tapping me at 3 am I'd probably be kissing the ceiling.  At first Debra thought she was hungry but nope she wants a head scratching.  I told her thanks but no thanks.  I'm not say NEVER but I'm saying NOT RIGHT NOW!!

Flower Friday, Vines and Felines

Today it is

Flower Friday...

Our host are Rosy SassyPants, Mayor Arty and Prof. Jakey

I missed everyone looking forward to catching up with you and your antics.

We had a nice break and visited some friends too.

Of course there are photos that will be shared.
I took 167 photos.  What's that you want to see them all?  Well of course I'll share
We were visiting my childhood friend and her husband.  They are retired teachers.
He has a small vineyard in which he grows native Muscadine grapes.  It is a pick your own vineyard and sometimes he sales to wineries.

The photos in this collage were taken from their sunroom that overlooks the vineyard.
I loved the succulent arrangements.
And I especially loved the vineyard cat.......

Today's collage shows the octagonal window
on the left and the lovely reflection it makes on the chair.
Angel Madi loved sitting here this time of year.

The GRITS pillow you've seen but just in case some haven't
GRITS is an abbreviation for
Girls Raised In The South.
That surely describes me.  And I also love Grits.

As many of you might remember, I retied from N. C. State University.
I loved my job working with graduate students and scholars from all over this great big world.
I cannot tell you how many times I was asked about Grits...the hot cereal.
Finally I started keeping a box of instant cheddar cheese grits in my cabinet and butter in my fridge.
When asked, I gladly answered and offered to make some for them.
I found most of those who asked genuinely wanted to know and were happy to taste them.
Really who doesn't like the taste of cheddar cheese and butter..yes GRITS have to have butter!!

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday

By The Old Gray Mare

Roses are red 

Sometimes violets are to

but my favorite blue is

pure and true

It belongs to my friend

the Eastern Bluebird.
Today I'm away but never fear
tomorrow I'll be back and that is a fact!!

I had not planned to post today but when I saw this beautiful photo of the birds I knew I had to join.
