Thoroughly Poetic Pictorial Thursday #54 11th Day B4


Today we join Two  SPOILED CATS 
Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.

Here is today's inspiration





Malls

The crowds are large
at the Malls
Everyone feels the urge to barge
at the Malls
No one waits for their turn to merge
at the Malls
I avoid crowds, winter, spring, summer and fall
at the Malls.




On The 11th day before Christmas
my true love gave to me

11 Happy Snow Men  plus hiding angel

A little snow humor (true).  As I have mentioned many times, I was raised with K9's.
Everyone in my family had dogs.  My mother was the baby of 7 children.  Most of my cousins were several years older.  .  All my life I heard a funny story about
Marion (who was 11 years older than me), and one  Annie Ma's dogs (before me).  It came to live with my grandparents shortly after WWII ended.  They named it WarBond.
The story told on Marion was that when she was 4 or 5 she was in the habit of going
to the back door to check on the critters and the weather. I was told she would say
"Are it snowing out there WarBond". As far as I know WarBond never answered.

Cat Tale and Secret Lives of Letters: E and F

CAT   TA(i)L(e)
Our friends in the NC mountains adopted a stray kitten about 2 years ago.   He is neutered and has all his shots.   He is about 1/4 Feral hates inside but otherwise loves people.  The has a house in their garage with a nice bed.  HOWEVER, the snow NC had on Sunday blew his mind.
He has never seen this much snow 14 1/2"






November Reader's Digest and I happened upon this article, 
"The Secret Lives of Letters", by Brooke Nelson.  Mr. Nelson says letters may be small characters, but there are amazing stories behind all 26 alphabet all-stars.
C and D can be found by clicking here
I will be sharing all 26 stories with you.





Mother Nature had a do over at our house yesterday..we received 2" more snow.  Total 9" in 36 hours.
Just amazing for NC
I'm ready for Mother Nature to move to another zip code.

Snippets on Sunday

I snapped the picture of the Anhinga at Yates Mill.  It was a very pretty day in the 60's gentle breeze.  Hootin' Anni says this is a Cormorant.  We had no idea but it is my first sighting if it is.  He appeared to be preening...then he opened his wings as if to fly but he just stood there letting the breeze blow.


PSA
In case I am MIA just wanted you to know the weather geeks here are predicting
the next Ice Age to arrive here startin late last night into all day Sunday 
on into Monday.   We sit on the cusp of the line that could be several inches of snow or 
worse freezing rain and sleet.  Saturday my friend in FL told me she saw power trucks heading north up I95 so they arrive ahead of the storm.
Hopefully power will remain on because we are 100% certain it it gonna be cold and damp.  Just not sure of the form of damp.

We awoke to a winter wonderland....about 4" on the ground still snowing
looks like NO freezing rain or sleet for us.



11 am our power has blinked on an off several times...We might disappear...
