ALL HALLOWS EVE...THE VEIL IS THIN...MISS PEACH AND MICKEY WILL BE CLOSE!

 The Welsh ladies gather for tea in this photo from the 1800's.  They are wearing their traditional garb and are not witches.  We think this is the most charming image out of the past of a wonderful gathering on a chilly autumn day...Please sit with us a bit and remember those special days of old when a little red cat served tea to you at the cozy cottage...then remember her special wedding day on Halloween to her beloved Mickey.

 We welcome you to visit mommies artblog if you are in a mood to see some nice autumn and Halloween themed artwork.  The linky is on the sidebar at the topish area.

 HAPPY SECOND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY my beloveds!

~~Gone But Not Forgotten~~
'Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart;
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words
"We must forever part."
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee
In the peaceful grave's embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
'Till we see thy heavenly face.
Clear as midnight, Thy spirits are bright.
Ghostly curiousities, bring you to my sight.
Spirit from across the veil
Come that I might hear your tales.
I ask thee to let me see,
Thy form as you truly be.

WHY WE HAVE BEEN SO BUSY THIS LAST WEEK!

 Our teenager has been here to visit and we have been watching lots of ballgames on the TV...the World Series YEAH CARDINALS!!! and the HUSKIES of Washington!

 Lots of fun Halloweeny stuff has been coming into our mailbox!

 This most precious kitty figurine came to us from the hearts of sweet ML and Auntie Deb.  She matches our bunnies so purrrrrfectly and we love our treasure!

Mommy has been busy playing with papers making Halloween ATC's...she is such a little girl at heart.  Tomorrow is Halloween...that is our precious Miss Peach and her handsome Mickey's second wedding anniversary.  They will be celebrating from heaven and hope that you all remember how happy their lives were here with us...and once again in heaven because they are together!

LITTLE RED DOT COME OUT AND PLAY WITH ME....

I just love my little wiggly red dot....it comes out to play with me each evening.  We have lots of fun together...mommy keeps saying something about how it is good for my figure to move around real fast...is she saying I am fat again!!??!??

LOOKING HALLOWEENY...

 The cozy cottage is beginning to be a bit spooky...mommy dragged out some old decorations she made back in 1982 and hung them on the doors.  The cabinet card is a new purchase this Halloween season.  Mommy fell in love with her pretty face but thought her hat needed to be pointy!

A NEW CUDDLY AT THE COZY COTTAGE!!!!




We have a new cuddle bug to hold on to at the cozy cottage...

please meet our new grand baby Bella...isn't she beautiful. 

Hunny Bunny is not too sure she likes all the noises a wee baby makes...

but we are once again full of smiles and our arms and laps are not so empty.  HAPPY MONDAY!!!

 

A DREAMY SERENADE...

This is how I begin my day at the cozy cottage...with a massage and a serenade.  Today I am a little bit BLUE and DREAMING of lions, tigers, and bears who were deaded before their time had come.  We wish that all wild animals would be left to live in their natural worlds and not brought into mans world to be caged in the torture chambers of private zoos!  May their precious spirits roam free over the grasslands of heaven's jungles...  Jesus said to forgive them for they know not what they do...

HI LAPDADDY!

 I was sleeping in my flower pot on the front porch when the door opened.  My Lapdaddy came out and I followed him to see what he was going to be up to.  I thought he was going to check the mail box but.....he has something that he was putting up for mommy to make her smile.  A little birdy nesty thing on the pretty metal box holder...mommy always has some crazy honeydo stuff to make the place more cozy...and I have to snopervise it all!

  

NATIONAL FERAL CAT DAY...A SOFT SUNNY SUNDAY...

ASPEN WOOD... by augustavindelicorum on polyvore.com

 MY Buddy and me were starving feral kitties when we found our way to the cozy cottage garden.  I was a tired worn out mommy cat with three kiddens to feed.  We were so lucky to be shown love, given shelter and lots of good food to eat.  We were spayed and nutered and my kittens adopted to the best home where they still are.  Now I live inside the cozy cottage and wonder where my good friend Buddy went to on walkabout..we all miss him.  Please help any kitty without a home that you can...PLEASE!  Now Scrappy Cat and Lion live in the garden with their kittens Spooky and  Little Scrap...we thank you so much for the contributions in the Chip In to help pay for their Vet bills.  You have no idea how much that helps the beans and warms my formerly feral kitty heart.  We do all we can to help them each day.  Now there will be no more kittens because they are fixed...safely vaccinated and flea and ear mite treated.   We celebrate NATIONAL FERAL CAT DAY!!

It has been a wonderfur weekend so far...mommy is feeling all better thanks to my nursing skills and the coffee is tasting good she said.  I spent lots of time in the sunny window drinking in the warm rays of autumn.  the dogwood trees are beginning to look stunning in their fall foliage and are filled with red berries for the birds later this winter.  Cole is in Seattle with his daddy and the got to see the Huskies beat Colorado.  A wonderful weekend trip to Pikes Place Market, the original Starbucks Coffee Shop for a Pumpkin Latte, the Bavarian Meat Market for some fine German chocolates, pizza, walks along the pier.  Lots of fun father/son memories made!  We are counting our many blessings...  Mommy thinks the kitty in her graphic reminds her of Jasper Ginger climbing around in his garden...we are so glad he is doing better and thank you for those purrrrs....we love you all so much!

CAN I HAVE TWO CHEEZEBURGERS PLEASE!?

This is the coolest cat I have ever seen! How wonderfur that a kind purrrrson saved his beautiful life so many years ago. A special needs cat who was given a chance to live...we all should be so lucky. Now if I had a little more kibbles in my bowl...I would be lucky too! What do you mean mommy...I am not fat!!!! I happen to be all floofy furs!!! 

I AM ON NURSE DUTY...

I have been on nurse duty for a few days now.  Mommy kitty has been sicky and staying asleep in bed for hundreds of hours.  I have stayed in bed watching over her and Lapdaddy came often to see if we were doing alright or needed something.    Last night mommy ate for the first time in two days...some noodle soup and crackers.  She has not had any coffee in days so you know she must really be sick.  Each day gets better and that is a good thing because my nurse cap keeps slipping off of my furry head!  While I am worried about mommy...we are ALL worried about our dear friend Ginger Jasper and little Truffle right now...please purrrrr real hard for them to get all better very soon.

A CHILLY MORNING...

MORNING FROST... by augustavindelicorum on polyvore.com

The mornings are a bit chilly now that October is here...the leaves are beginning to turn a little bit red on the dogwood tree and the spiders have laid their egg sacks...the praying mantis on our patio has laid her egg case on the screen frame.  I hope the garden kitties stay snug in the big condo Lapdaddy made for them.  We keep it on the quiet side of the house where no one ever goes except the meter reader purson, once a month.   Thank you for all the nice birthday wishes for Cole...he had a fun weekend riding his new Razor scooter...mommy made him her special Hungarian Goulash with Spaezle and the whole gang played cards in the evening while eating brownies and French vanilla ice creme and drinking coffee...yes it was a good birthday weekend.

TIGGER – For all missing cats & critters...we still remember you and miss you so very much...where ever your walkabout may have led you....we hope there is shelter, food and a warm lap to hold you...thank you for the time you shared with us gentle friend...until we meet again, know we love you

THIS MEMORY LIVES STRONG!!!

I HAVE BREAST CANCER by augustavindelicorum

CANCER touches all of our lives...my Opa died of cancer...my mother died of cancer...my aunt and uncle my cousin...my precious Miss Peach fought long and strong for the last years of her wonderful life. My precious girl never complained.  Yes...we are all touched in some way by this dreadfulness.  We live with it, we fight it, we beat it...we know someone who has it, who had it, who loves someone who we worry over who might have it...LORD HELP us find a cure...until then we will live strong...and pray for our Lapdaddy
