Feline with Rocky, and Final Fiction Friday: Mystery solved

Feline Friday  host Comedy Plus

Dearest Auntie HiC

Like most of the country, it has been bitterly cold here. Fortunately, and thankfully, we didn’t receive snow or ice. Hope all our friends stayed warm and safe. ❤️

I haven’t been on the porch for several days, but I’m still getting plenty of exercise.  

Be sure to watch my video til the end for my finale!!  

Lovingly you Nephew Rocky

Dearest Rocky OMCs...................you are quite well balanced and agile

Auntie would have fallen and busted her chin wide open(that is what Auntie's Mom always told her would happen when she was messin around). 

ROCKY OMCs OMCs again you did a somersault

and Pup thank goodness your nose was out of swatting range!!!

Lovingly your Auntie HiC

Breaking news from my furry nephews:  Our Mom thanks you all for your get well wishes and so do WE Three.  She sent this video to Auntie HiC last week before she got the creeping crud.  She is feeling better each day

Lovingly my Furry Nephews.

The partiers were shoulder to shoulder

They sang, they squealed they clapped with glee

As they shouted Happy New Year,

The mess they left for others 

Was something no one could UNSEE

Wordless Wednesday with Ernie

 

Thanks to our

For those of you who don't know ERNIE the ATTORNEY,

he lives in Western Pennsylvania.  He does not like snow.  When he is out in the snow, the snow freaks attach themselves to his lush long tummy furs

Happy Tuesday

This might be the most beautiful Jag I've seen

Greyish white kind of pearlized..

It surely made me Happy

New neighbors moved onto our cul-de-sac late summer.

I'm happy  share a photo of Maggie the furry member of the family.

She is an 11 1/2 year old Australian Terrier

Saturday December 10, we drove by this home

 there were dogs GALORE.

There were twice as many dogs on the steps and porch of this house.  A quick guess would be there were close to 50 pups of all sizes, shapes and colors

I think this was a 

Howl-i-Day Pawty!!

Friday December 30th is Final Fiction Friday

NATURE FRIDAY

We are in the season of Fifty shades of gray except for the leaves that won't leave 

their trees.  Quite pretty 

My roving Photo Journalist Janice sent me this photo with an email.

She said she didn't think she had ever seen Cardinals eating flower blooms.

I don't think I have either.

Happy Tasty Tuesday

  

Thank you to our 

 Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 

A few more favorite foods for the holidays

3 pounds of Christmas Collards

They are washed thoroughly, bunches cut into halves

While this step is taking place

a large pot of hot water, oil, salt, pepper and pieces of bacon are starting to boil.  Christmas Collards are placed in the water. They cook about 45 minutes.

I realize collards are an acquired taste and many don't like the lovely aroma they put off when cooking.  I was raised on them.  Their aroma tickles my nose and makes me happy 

and my mouth water.  

Please feel free to cut and paste my card

Awwwwww My nephews send greetings

 

 Thank you to our   

Host Comedy Plus  

Rocky said he wanted to be in charge of this year’s Christmas Greeting to you & all our special blog friends❣️

Pup and I were skeptical, but we finally agreed. 

What were we thinking???

Please excuse Rocky! He can’t help himself; he’s a Ginger kitty❣️

Volume up please to hear Mr. Nat King Cole.

Merry Christmas & Love to you all!

❤️ Kat, Pup, Rocky & The Peeps
