 Feline and Final Feature Friday

Dear Auntie HiC,  

You may recall a few months ago I jumped to the top shelf in Mom’s closet! 

I was incredibly grateful for her assistance, and I was curious to know if you all believed I had learned my lesson.

I revisited the comments, and to my surprise, the majority of you were confident that I would repeat a similar action.  You are smart cookies! 😹

During our February ice storm, & subsequent days long power outage, Dad hooked us up to the portable generator. He had to move the refrigerator away from the wall to get the cords positioned properly. 

Wellllll, the fridge was pushed close enough for me to jump from top of fridge to the tippy top of the 4 door cupboard!  

I had no idea what I would discover upthere! 🙀🙀🙀

Mom collects local pottery & she had placed two “face jugs” on the top of the cupboard. Face jugs were believed to ward off evil spirits & to scare kids from getting into the contents. (Medicine, or even moonshine). 

If you’re interested, you can learn more about the face jugs here. 

Those ugly faces definitely turned me into a Scaredy Cat! 

I started howling & of course Mom came running! She didn’t see me at first because I was up so high! She let out a big laugh, but I found nothing funny about my predicament! 

OMCs Cali Auntie HiC as a huge fan of the Fab 4...she loves this song.

❤️ Cali

Our young neighbors, across the street, have a new puppy....

Meet Sadie an adorable Mini  Goldendoodle.

Once she has all he puppy vaccines (probably 2 more months),

she will be making friends.  I will say, she is a happy, bouncy girl.

I love her white patches on her chin, above her nose and on her paws.

 

Awww Monday

Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 

Thank you

  

In June 2017 we took a vacation tour hosted by Globe Treks Colorado and Utah

While in Colorado Springs we toured the Cadet Chapel.  Below is a photo I took

The Cadet Chapel is the most recognizable building at the U.S. Air Force Academy and, before the current renovation closure, the most visited man-made tourist attraction in Colorado. This aluminum, glass, and steel structure features 17 spires that shoot 150 feet into the sky. It is considered among the most beautiful examples of modern American academic architecture.

It is currently under renovation which should be completed in 2028 

Below photo is of the exterior.  

Cadet Chapel Closure
Estimated Completion 2028

The Cadet Chapel is closed for necessary repairs with an estimated completion date of 2028. Read about the meticulous renovation project.

It serves as an all-faith center of worship for cadets and includes Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and Buddhist chapels, an All-Faiths Room, and a Falcon Circle, each with its own entrance. The Chapel is capable of holding services in all rooms at one time.

Awww Monday with amazing Sun shadows and Blooms

Thank you

  

 This stained glass window in on the back side of the house which is the south side.

As the sun rises throughout the day...it travels around the window leaving the most

AWWW 

inspiring reflections.

Photography is about timing and light.  Recently I was downstairs as the sun moving toward the west

I've never see a double shadow...EVER

It was over the tv

As it continued to move westward... there was another shadow by the front door

The rectangular skylight on the 2nd floor is in the 'man cave' which is on the west side of the house!  Bryan  watches his SciFi movies and train programs on YouTube. Again perfect timing to see the rectangle become a diamond on the wall and reflect in the tv screen

Our front yard is popping with color

Our grass is very green in the spring.

Pink/lavender on left is our Forest Pansy Red Bud

Our neighbor's tall Maple towers above the Forest Pansy.

His maple is the most amazing red in the fall.

Middle is our Japanese Red Maple

Right side pink/lavender is our Native Red Bud and Maple behind it
