Saturday Symmetry

Wednesday, January 10th was a beautiful day but the wind, they call Mariah,  was gusting at about 40 mph.  In fact, so gusty we could see it blowing the clouds at mach wind speed. 

We  decided it was a good day to walk around the inside of the NC Museum of Art and have lunch.   FYI when the employees were putting up the umbrellas we wondered WHY with the Wind.  Within 5 min all the umbrellas were on the ground.

 The cafe at the museum has changed hands...it used to be (BEFORE COVID) quite nice and there was table service.  Now everything all sandwiches and salads are in a cooler (serve yourself). Soup, and 2 hot sandwiches are made to order.

Both of use enjoyed what we ordered but JUMPIN' CATFISH the cost was as high as the clouds.  Bottle water $3.00 each our lunch total with tip was $34.00

live and learn. 

My sandwich

My husband ordered a smash burger and fries.  

We both enjoyed the fries.

Oh and just FYI I took lots of photos I'll share over the next week or so

Sneaky Squirrel photo taken last weekend.  He is obviously new to the 'hood. He tried several times to scurry up the pole banged his head around several times before coming down.    All our resident squirrels know they only thing they will get up there is a headache.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #148

 Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

at Two Spoiled Cats

Here is the photo challenge

I could not get much to rhyme with prairie dog love so my creative license let me call it Ground Hog Love.

*******************

When I first saw this photo, I thought of the song, Musk Rat Love, performed by 

Captain and Tennille

written by Willis Alan Ramsey original words are in RED

May I present Ground Hog Love

Revised by Cecilia January 11, 2024

Ground Hog Ginger, Ground hog Gill

Doing the ground hog Two Step

Out on the prairie

Ginger's whiskers tickle Gill as he whispers.

Gill holds tight to Ginger who is not SKINNY

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam

Do the jitterbug
Out in the muskrat land
And they shimmy
Sam is so skinny

Gill gives Ginger a whirl 

while singin' his love

Ginger is sure she is floating

on cloud 9 in heavens above.

This is looks like Ground Hog Love

And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
Looks like muskrat love

Nibblin' on Ginger's ear
Gill says to her
Honey would you be my Prairie Princess
for all of your years?
Ginger squeals yes dear 
as she blows kisses into his ear.

Nibblin' on bacon, chewin' on cheese

Sam says to Susie

Honey, would you please be my Mrs?

Suzie she says yes, with her kisses 

Now Gill is happy, he wiggles
Ginger giggles 
as nose to nose they stand
for all of their years

Now, he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her ties
Muzzle to muzzle now
Anything goes
As they wiggle
Sue starts to giggle

Mom named her new robo-vac Rosie. She was a huge Jetson’s fan, back in the day, and loved their maid, Rosie!

If you’re not familiar with Rosie, you can read about her here: https://thejetsons.fandom.com/wiki/Rosey#:~:text=Rosey%20is%20a%20robot%20and,%2Dworking%2C%20dutiful%20and%20dependable.

I’ve been trying to makes friends with our Rosie, but she seems a bit pushy to me! 😹

❤️ Rocky

Oh Rocky OMCs OMCs...you are reallly trying but Rosie appears to be a bit forward and might need to wait to be invited into your circle. THANK GOODNESS for you Cat Tree

Awww Monday with Frisco and Sparks

 

 Thank you to our   

Host Comedy Plus     

As I mentioned, HERE, last week, Mia is very maternal to Frisco.  They groom each other

Frisco is a wise Man Cat.  He gets along purrfectly with his sisters. 

Frisco was the first kitty to be adopted from Island Rescue.  He was about 6 months old.  He was over the moon happy when his older sister Mia came to live with them.  When it saw her for the first time, it was like they were old friends.

It was love at first sight for both of them there was no need to keep them separate.

Mia immediately started treating him like he was her kitty.

Island Rescue does a wonderful job socializing all their cat and kittens before the are adopted.  He is such a gentle Ginger-man.  He follows Mia's lead he is just happy to be with her.  Mia was a bit over 2 years old when she was adopted.

She was past the playful stage.  

Next Monday I will post about Harper.   She has been an amazing addition to the family.   Most of all she brings out Frisco's kitten side and he loves it.

They chase, play hide and seek.
