Nature and Feline Flashback Friday International Box Day

  Nature Friday host LLB Gang  


This might be a bit of a stretch for 'nature' 
BUT it is in my NATURE to be in awe of a gorgeous CAR.
This is Electric Mustang in front of a tree. 

My very first car was a 1967 blue mustang (not red unfortunately in 1967 there were no red Mustangs). It had a navy vinyl top. I thought I was the cat's meow too.

The color of the car matches the
today's International box day banner too.

Angel Madi absolutely adored boxes...she never met a box that was too  big or too small

or the wrong color.  Here are a few of her box Photos


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

I became addicted to boxes at 2 months old
when I came to live with the peeps.
Lo and be hold I discovered they had a cold box full
of treats and delicious meats .
From that day I made it my mission to inspect each
box in the house.

Back off Mom founders keepers!!


Yep this the foyer box...I hope it never 
ever leaves I love it.


I don't get to visit this hamper box 
often so when I see my chance 
I move lickety split

Dang flashy box (my least favorite box) followed me
during my hamper box caper.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday#267

 Today we join

Angel Sammy and brudder Teddy
at Sammy's Poetry Corner

 

I give this photo a title
"Don't touch me"


Winter, Spring, Summer or fall
Twins are a handful
They make each other bawl
Never on the same timetable
One is happy, one fells crappy
Thru thick and thin 
when the universe tries to come between them
The have each other's back.

Nature walk on Feline Friday with Kat and Friendly Fill ins


  Nature Friday host LLB Gang

Dear Auntie HiC,

After my walks on the leash, I find pleasure in lying on the cool driveway.
I listen to the birds & take in all the wonderful “woodsy” smells. The air is fresh and clean here in the woods, and we rarely hear any traffic.





I always need to brushed before going in the house, but that’s just another little added pleasure!

Happy Feline Friday❣️




❤️ Kat



Ellen came up with the first two and her wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

1. I’d like to learn how to play Guitar.  Little know fact, I took accordion lessons between the ages of 9-12.  
2. Something I tried to make that was an epic fail was Yeast Bread.


Bryan's brother and his wife invited us to lunch today (at Noon) for BLT's with freshly picked NC Tomatoes and homemade apple pie
We'll have to roll ourselves home I'm sure.

Thoroughly Poetic and Thankful Thursday#266

 Today we join

Angel Sammy and brudder Teddy
at Sammy's Poetry Corner

 

Opposite of Polar Plunge



Sun fun galore

Oh no frozen water for us

Look at our smiles

Age has moved us to warmer waters

Roaring with laughter


Perhaps folks call us crazy

Look we are not phased

Undies are drenched

Never fear at our age we have extras

Good times for all

Everyone watching is envious our toes in the water not boots


Thankful Thursday hosted

Thank you all for you comments on the first Teapot post.  There will be one each week for the next month or so.

Today I am thankful for another most dependable person...our

Derwin at Young's Tree Tech.  Recently we noticed a very large limb from one of our trees was broken and hanging over our neighbor's shrubs..(it was caught by the shrubs and didn't damage anything). We told our neighbors we were get it removed.  Derwin has been our go to tree removal guru for 25 years.  I called him Friday June 5, he came out to estimate it Saturday June 6.  He came on June 10 to remove the limb and cut back all limbs around the house that were hanging over the roof.  Very thankful the tree is healthy. It is actually a Siamese tree...MOL trunk was joined as it came out of the ground but turned into two beauties. It has the most beautiful red leaves in the fall.

I took photos in groups.  iPhone listed 54 



A few fun quirky teapots
