Happy Tuesday from Chilly Colorado

Thank you to our 

Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 


It’s a chilly morning here in southwest Colorado, & we had a dusting of snow overnight (May 5)



I’m not a fan of snow in May, so I’m laying low until it warms up! 😹
Do you see me?





We’re happy to announce that we have 3 broadtailed hummingbirds; 2 males & 1 female. Yes, the males have been fighting each other for the female, & she’s loving it❣️

What shall we name this jeweled beauty?




Brrrrrr & ❤️Rocky

Dearest Rocky
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Rocky you are the smartest kitty in the RV.
You found the purrfect spot to hide from OLD man Winter.
I love your cuddly blankie a lot.
The Lady broad tail is absolutely Pretty and I think that is a great name just like the song says.

Awww Monday with my adorable Nephews


We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus


Dearest Auntie HiC
We had some excitement, April 30th, which was my 4th gotcha day.
Mom had taken out the RV rugs so she could vacuum & mop the floors. When Dad brought in the rugs, a hitchhiking lizard was hiding inside one.
The lizard fell out of the rug & ran under the recliners, with Rocky & I in hot pursuit.

On the other hand, Mom screamed & ran into the bedroom, slamming the door behind her. 😹😹

Now, in her defense, this was not the kind of cute, little lizard we have in Georgia.

This monster, a desert horned lizard,  looked like a miniature, cat-eating dinosaur! 🙀

After a brief discussion (Mom freaking out), it was decided to let us do what we do instinctively, look for prey, hopefully without anyone (🦎) getting hurt.


Rocky understood the assignment & immediately got to work, sniffing out the enemy. It took him less than a minute  (48 seconds) to track it down.

Mom took us to bedroom while Dad opened all RV doors. The 🦎 jumped right out the door, & hasn’t been seen since! 😹


I was proud of the little fellow❣️ All the excitement wore me out. 

❤️ Kat 


Dearest Rocky and Kat OMCs that was a lot excitement for one day.

Rocky yay you are a Hero saving your family from a cat-eating lizard and on your 4th Gotcha Day!! Auntie would have been on the roof screaming.

Lovingly and very Proud

Auntie HiC

So of course I had to do with it.  All created via PiZap

Nature and Feline Friday

Dearest Auntie HiC

Wednesday, May 1,  We  arrived at our final destination, Priest Gulch Campground, Dolores, Colorado!



We’ve been coming  here for spring hummingbird migration since  2017. Always exciting to see the different types of hummers. 


Mom said we experienced 2 seasons on May 1,   When we left NM it was spring.  Just a few hours later when we arrived in Colorado in the winter
Mom heard a ruby-throated hummingbird soon after we got set up by the river. It was very cold our first night (see above), so feeders went up on May 2.
 
Our very first hummer in Colorado
It is a Broad tail


#ifyouneedmeyouknowwheretofindme 

This is the view out our back window.  I think we’ll be happy here for a few weeks. 


Love from your devoted Nephews

and Happy Feline and Nature Friday to all our friends

Kat and Rocky
