Symmetry Saturday and K9 friend

Last Saturday (10/18) we had brunch/lunch at Bruegger's Bagels.
It was a bit breezy so we sat inside...while waiting for our lunch, I spotted this adorable Labradoodle and his Mom waiting for their lunch.
Lots of symmetry too.

Nature, Feline and Fill ins Friday Flashback


One of our hosts for Nature Friday host LLB Gang

 Heron Fall 2014



Flashback with Madi Fall, 2014


Bits and pieces of my sweet, precious Madi.  I'd like to share them with you.
Madi teases a lot and talks big but deep down
she is all soft and mushy and makes us laugh daily.

Madi's ears are as soft as velvet and so warm...



 Once when I was a little girl my Aunt told me every freckle you have meant you had been kissed by angels...
I kiss Madi's nose every chance I get..and usually her
whiskers make me sneeze.
Her eyes are very expressive I love her sleepy/stinky eyes
 and her wide open big green cat eyes staring at me with 
kitty love....we often exchange I love you blinks 


Every so often I'm lucky enough to get a picture of her 
sand paper tongue...I just love how that feels 
on my hand.

To this day I don't know how she keeps her white tummy so white and so soft...there must be magic potions on that sandpaper tongue.


 Every morning she greets me with her tail flying high.  As she passes by me, she ALWAYS slows down so I can gently hold her tail as it passes through my hand.  Yet another way of saying good  morning beautiful...to each other




 Friendly Fill-Ins today. Ellen came up with the first two and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

1. My hometown is Raleigh, NC, only place I have ever lived.
2. October is a good time to enjoy all the fall beauty in  all 100 counties of NC.
3. If I saw the ghost of Casper, I would be so happy I'd squeal.
4. You couldn’t pay me to wear any evil monster or bloody creature costume, I don't like being scared.  I like a mystery but nothing violent

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #233

Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at

Below is our photo challenge for this week  

Poetry challenge 10/23/25

By Cecilia

Sheriff Royster  D.  Rooster
Was on patrol in the barnyard,
When, with his beady eyes, he spied,
Up on the hill,
A greedy kid with chubby thighs
running from the hen house.

Original Photo


Revised to go with the ending of my Poem

Sheriff Rooster crowed out loud
Stop, Hands up to the clouds.
The kid did EGGactly as he was told.
Folks eggs splatter and yokes rolled
Sheriff Rooster clucked and crowed out loud to the chickens
I'm coming
DO NOT CROSS THE ROAD.

Dear Auntie HiC,

Awww Monday: This little light of mine


 Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 

Thank you

 

When we visited our friends in early September, we had a surprise waiting for us.

This little solar power fairy light globe.

Here it is in day light




All below taken 7:03 pm.   Each evening it lights up the back. I am positive the critters of the night are as enchanted by this little light as I am.  

It surely makes me say

AWWW

Darker photos taken with my iPad, lighter ones with my iPhone.  It usually stays on til about

Sunday Tale of Tails

 October 19, 2010 


This is my new favorite flop spot.....I pick a new spot every few weeks. Variety is the
spice of life
Right smack dab in the middle of a high traffic area...
I'm thinking of putting up a sign saying:
"Cat sleeping...please detour"
