Kat's 7th Gotcha Day

Dear Auntie HiC, 

These pictures were taken the first day I arrived on The Hill, September, 20, 2018. 

I wouldn’t let Mom touch me for a week, but she was “purr-sistent”, 

and, thankfully never gave up. 

She lured me with food, & singing “Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty”. 

This is how I'll be spending my special day

Happy Gotcha’ Day to Me❣️

❤️ Kat

OMCs Kat 7 years on the Hill...for sure the best 7 years 

E V E R.  I love the photo of you peeping from the 'jungle'.

Auntie has always admire how very brave you were.

Hugs Auntie HiC

Nature and Feline Friday Flashback

One of our hosts for Nature Friday host LLB Gang   

Landscaping on the property of the Barter Theater Abingdon, VA

The weather was beautiful for our entire trip.

While on vacation, I became acquainted with a new variety of Dogwood

This is a Kousa Dogwood  photo taken in Abingdon, Virginia

Cornus kousa is a small deciduous tree 8–12 m tall, in the flowering plant family Cornaceae. Common names include kousa, kousa dogwood, Chinese dogwood, Korean dogwood, and Japanese dogwood. Synonyms are Benthamia kousa and Cynoxylon kousa. It is a plant native to East Asia including Korea, China and Japan

Of course the red spikey fruit/berries on it caught my eye..

Thanks to Bryan for giving me an up close and purrsonal view

A tree for all seasons, the Kousa dogwood has berries that resemble raspberry fruit in autumn, and the peeling bark on the mature tree trunks has an attractive mottled appearance. The fall leaf color is reddish-purple to scarlet and lasts three to five weeks.

Awww Monday: Advice From Cali

 Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 

Thank you

 

Dearest Auntie HiC

Mom had this poster in her classroom to remind her students that our words can have positive or negative effects. 

The 

"Think Before You Speak" poster is a communication tool designed to encourage mindful and empathetic communication, especially in classrooms and workplaces. It commonly uses the THINK acronym as a visual reminder. 

The poster can promote positive communication and create a respectful environment.  

Good advice all of us, regardless 

of our age❣️

❤️ Cali

Dearest precious Niece Cali

this is the most wonderful advice for all ages....you Mom made a lasting impression on her students.

Hugs and love Auntie HiC

Scenic Sunday

In the spring NC Department of Transportation plants fields and fields of

wildflowers...we saw so many like this.  Some sunflowers and some a mixture of colors of wildflowers.

Apologies for not dropping by yesterday, I was a bit under the weather.

We got our fall vaccines on Friday. They really threw me for a loop this year.
