Nature Friday in Cameron Village Feline FLASHBACK WITH MADI

  Nature Friday host LLB Gang   

Mom Beth and the Girls made a beautiful new 
Nature Friday Badge honoring the Memory of our friend 

Gail


I don't know how old this tree is but I do 
know it is huge and healthy...photo take on March 1.
Itty bitty bits of green were sprouting too.





I plan to take more photos when it is full of leaves.

FLASHBACK 

MARCH 11, 2011

HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY TO OUR PRECIOUS 
MADI
Madi loved the camera and the camera loved Madi
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES OF MADI IN 2011
 I found this poem in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Lovin' Our cats.  It describes Madi purrfectly.
It was written for a male cat. I changed it to fit the Diva.

Under her Spell
by
Tami Sandlin
I can feel her watching me
Through golden eyes, unblinking
And I can't help but wonder
Just what it is she is thinking.
I know her habits, I know her ways
But her moods are hard to tell
The only thing I know for sure is
She knows I'm under her spell
For eating she has claimed my nicest dish
To nap, my favorite chair
And anytime I want to sit,
She is comfortably resting there.
For play, she's got expensive toys
To chase and romp and caper
But still she is only happy with
A balled-up piece of paper!
She is always begging for attention
To be scratched beneath her chin
And when my writing takes me away from her
She steals my writing pen!
Despite our unique relationship
People ask "Just who owns who?"
It's really nice to have someone
To look forward to come home to.
And so, I stay enchanted with
This crazy pet of mine
For nothing keeps you spellbound

Like a furry finicky feline.

  6. What a beautiful poem and what a beautiful picture of your angel. It all just makes her seem like she's right there in the room with you. And that tree, that is the gnarliest tree I have ever seen. Looks like something out of a scary movie in a way.

  7. That tree without leaves could star in a creepy movie with all the twists and turns it is scary looking! It sure is a big one too.

  8. That Elder Tree is just glorious! I would just stand there touching the trunk, were I there. You can feel their energy, these old trees.

    Happy birthday, angel Madi! What a lovely photo and poem to honour you. 💖

  12. Love this Madi Flashback. The poem is touching and humorous. Madi really did love the camera... she was looking right at you. A very interesting tree.. it's like it has its own personality but I think all trees have personalities. I am a tree hugger :) It will be fun to see it as it leafs out.

  13. I always looked the Chicken Soup books! I should read one soon. Happy Friday!

  14. Oh gosh......it made me cry because it's not only Madi but it's every precious cat I've ever had the pleasure of spending part of my life with. People who say cats and dogs, etc. don't have personalities and don't have an imagination, etc. are nuts. I love the abandon with which they live their lives - they will take what we give and be thankful in the sweetest ways.......We ALL miss your Madi - one of a kind as they all are and that's yet another reason why we love them so.
    Hugs, Pam
