National Clown Day

Today we are joining Ranger to celebrate Wacky August Holidays

click here for a complete list of these fun holidays

Several years ago Mom just as mom was learning some PicMonkey skills, she

gave me an alter ego as Button the Clown.

I have  entertained many kiddos with my balloon Critters.

Never fear I am very very careful not to puncture my critters with my 

daggers.

I have been a rodeo Clown


I marched in a parade with my favorite Donkey Joe

As they saying says....everybuddy loves a Clown!
Sincerely
Buttons da Clown
aka
Madi(son) D Cat 

Flower Friday

Happy Flower Friday

Hosted by Da Boyz and Angel Dory

Today we are featuring Celosia Spicata and Bitty the Bumble Bee.

Celosia is derived from a Greek word meaning burned and refers to the flame like flower.

Mom says this is a 'timing photo'.  She saw it and  she had TIME to get the camera! There was no sun on it at the time but the flashy beast gave it a glow...

We call the next photo Lady Celosia. Mom loves this pot.

Mom says during all this hot humid weather her hair resembles 

Lady Celosia's

Our flower blooms in back where most of them live have about fizzled out due to 

the horrid heat in July.  Mom has heard photography is all about lighting and angles.  These next two (non flowering) photos are proof positive.

First one taken from the back of the plant with sun shining through the leaves.

 Second one taken from the front within a few seconds of the first.

Last up but surely not least.....

Moi, after all it is my blog!!

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday and Int'nal Bear Day

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday

Hosted by Angel Sammy Poetry and his brudder Teddy 

Angel Sammy has suggested one of these  H words:

happy, hobby, heart, home
but you know me I'm an overachiever...I'm using all 4!

I am happy tell you on this poetry day

Mom and I a hobby do share.

What is it you say?

The art of being crotchet(y)ers.

I won't be shy, I'll tell why.

When mom is home, and she gets antsy

She knows it is yarn for which she yearns.
Crocheting is what calms her heart.

Thumbs I have not.

I yearn for bacon not yarn. 

Crocheting is not for me.

It is with glee I proudly announce

I am Madison D Crotchety Cougar Cat.
I have a red hat with a sassy sash.
I wear it every which way and I'm fine with that.

 The group was founded by
Kali from Canadian Cats and
Phoebe at 15 and meowing

Sincerely Madi 
Proud to be a Crotchety Cougar!!



Today is also International Bear Day on Ranger's Wacky Calendar

We thought we'd show you some photos mom took at
Grandfather Mountain last year

Here is a photos of the bears now living in the the beautiful facility

Every day at 11 the bears have an enrichment session with their

keepers.  This one knows what is coming...so his tongue is ready...

for something sweet

THIS BEAR CRACKED Mom UP..I think his tummy must be full
