Madi and Mom say Thank you!!!

Madi:

1. I'm spoiled (I know that is a surprise)
2. I do not sit in anyone's lap!! Much to the dismay of Mom
(the first family kitty was 100% lap kitty)
3.I talk non stop
4.I was a devil child when the peeps first brought me home.
5. I was lost for 2 hours...not to worry though I knew exactly where I was...

sleeping peacefully in Mom and Dad's closet.
Mom:
1. I'm proud to say I can drive a stick shift
2. I was Senior Class Marshall in High School
(this means I kept order in the midst of chaos...good training for being Mom

 to a Diva Cat)
3. When I was about 3 years old I cut my own hair and I cut the hair of
the family Collie, Lady, and Lady's puppies. Luckily no humans or puppies were

 harmed!!
4.When I was 5, I was caught in the act of eating a stick of butter.
5.I had a very short career as a Cover Girl

 At 2 years old I was a cover girl on the Co-operative Exchange magazine.

(I know you've never heard of it. LOL My mom worked for the company.
I was on the Easter edition holding baby chicks.

Nature Friday...now that the hots have left, I often

take walks around the neighborhood.

Thankfully I had my camera with me when I spotted this

beautiful patio on the front lawn of a home about

two blocks from us.  

How nice would it be to sit in any of these places while

enjoying all the Nature around you.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #38

 Today we join Two  SPOILED CATS 

Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.

Here is today's inspiration

Pirate

The notorious crook 

 was called Hook.

Most often he sailed the seas 

taking what he wanted and gone in a breeze.

Once he had a parrot upon his shoulder perch.  

Trout Talkin' Tabbies will squeal with EASE

 when they hear da bird went bye bye in the breeze.

He was a mighty sailor always standing firmly holding the course

On land his sea legs were wobbly one was just a peg. 

He loved his pints and the 

Bar wenches who served him with a smile

as he sat on the bench.

Almost.....

Happy Accident...

 Sunday afternoon I walked into the study aka Red Room as Madi  called it, I saw this shadow on the carpet. I thought what in the world??!! It looks like a elephant

I looked up at the skylight lo and behold...  It was an amazing cloud formation

I rotated the above photo then aimed up at the skylight

Happy Accident

Thursday of last week the remnants of Hurricane Sally left us with 3" of rain (which was a drop in the bucket compared to other areas in NC). Friday and Saturday it was overcast all day.  The skylight is still drying off.  For those of you who have super duper observation skills the very thin string is part of the skylight shade. 

 The shade over the skylight stays closed in the summer

In the fall and winter this was one of Madi's favorite napping spots

As the sun moved over the house she followed it until the puddle was gone. Below it is just inches from the wall.  She made use of very inch of it until it reached the baseboard

Happy Tuesday with Cats and Dogs

Drabble by Kevin Fagan

Having been owned by Toto the mighty Mini Dachshund, he hated walking in the rain and he live to EAT. We learned to never get in the way of Toto and his food. Any food on the floor was his. He was vertically challenged but his wee legs move ad Mach Dach speed.  His favorite spot at meal time was under the chair of his human sister who was 3 when we adopted him.

Garfield by Jim Davis 

Having been owned by two cats...I can honestly say we never had hairballs both cats made sure they left hairballs on the carpet NEVER on the hardwood floors.

The elephant ear plant (Colocasia) provides a bold tropical effect in nearly any landscape setting. In fact, these plants are commonly grown for their large, tropical-looking foliage, which is reminiscent of elephant ears.

This road, Town and Country Road, is curvy, 2 lane speed limit 35.  However, the average speed was
45 or more.  The powers that be in our city have decided to best way to control speed is to
install 'calming medians' smack in the middle of  2 lane roads in residential areas.
We travel this road every day sometimes multiple times.
There are 3 calming medians on this road.
All have seasonal plantings.  The Elephant Ears have thrived as have the Canna Lilies

Mr. P. P. Pumpkin

Hello I am 

Mr. 'Perfect' Peter Pumpkin

I'm residing at Casa U. 

The humans were totally amazed when the found me

they were not looking.  

BUT they said when you find perfection you must seize it.

I decided I wanted to be fancy for my first meeting 

They said I'm the perfect shape, size color, not a dent or scratch on me

and most of all ...it appears my stem is perfectly PERFECT.

Pumpkins in the past have come up short...pun intended...in the stem department.

And best of all I was ONLY 

 I was adopted from Wegmans my adoption fee was ONLY

$4.99.  

Evidently this is an unheard of price for Perfect Peter Pumpkins

Below is my original Selfie

 Ivy and I were lonely
