A LITTLE WALKABOUT THE ROSE GARDEN...

 Even when it is really hot outside, I love to be in the shade of the garden plants.

 Here I am under the Eden climbing rose bush by the mailbox...

 The second bloom is not as full as the spring one, but the colors are so pretty.

I just like it when mommy comes to be with me because then I feel safe from Scrappy Cat...she boxed me on the ear last week and made it bleed!  I am such a sweet kitty and do not understand why she hates me so much!  I share everything I have with her...

BRAVO LONDON!!!

 Last night we watched an amazing Steampunk masterpiece unfold in London in the Olympic opening ceremony.  All we can say is well done London...bravo England!

 I did not enter in the Cat Olympics but maybe I should have...lazer eye competition and looking pretty while laying on a floofy pillow might have been events I might have won a medal in. 

TALENTED BUT LAZY...

 We are enjoying the warm summer days at the cozy cottage...here is where I am right now, slumbering under the shade of the dogwood tree.  I got a special spot I like next to my bunny family.

 Yes, we are so lazy right now but a bit talented so we can earn our supper...mommy made these pretty flower blossoms out of ratty old white silks she keeps bringing home from the sale bin at the craft store.  There is not much blooming in the garden right now so I hope you enjoy looking at them.

WHITE SUNDAY....

 Oh the Casablanca lilies smell like heaven!  Mommy cuts off the orange thingies because they get everything so icky...like my furs...then it would not be a white Sunday...

 I don't care what you say about a thunderstorm coming...I am not coming inside the house now!  Well...not until I see Scrappy Cat in the front yard that is....so I will stay close to the door just in case.

A MAGIC CARPET RIDE!!!

 Look what mommy brought home for me from Goodwill!

 a new purrrrrrdy  green magic carpet!!!!

 I was having such a good time on it planning to fly away somewhere when someone came and ruined all my fun!  Just like Harley does to pretty Daisy...

yep there she is up in the corner...hurry mom and open the door to the house so I can go and hide!

WE HAVE HOPE...

Dear friends....I have been having some sad days...next month will be the first anniversary of my beloved Miss Peach leaving us for the rainbow bridge.  My arms ache to hold her...Lapdaddy aches to have her on his lap.  We have HOPE that one day we will be together again...until then...we remember how it was...warm and sweet.  I know you understand how we feel...you are our beloved friends who carry us along on these days...thank you for your treasured friendships and visits...

SOMETHING DOES NOT SMELL RIGHT AROUND HERE.....

 UMMMMMM something is not right around here....

 the creeping thyme smells really funny...

 mommy thought she heard lots of strange noises last night...

I wonder if a Mr. Racoon has come by to visit and left his calling card...in any case, that would be better than Mr. Skunk!

A LITTLE GARDEN WALKABOUT...

 Today it is really hot here in the cozy cottage garden...104*...I spent most of the day sleeping in the garden inspecting the day lilies and wandering into the back yard...

 Hello...Shasta daisies, day lilies and our variegated red twig dogwood...

I hope you are all staying well and safe in your corners of the world.  Mommy says it is too hot to think so she is dreaming about autumn...

IN THE PINK!!!

 I have a little pink nose...little pink toes...and pink ears!

 There is no better place than safe inside the cozy cottage when the firework boomers go off!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!! BE EVER MINDFUL OF WHAT IT COST!!!

 Stay safe and happy today as you celebrate Independance Day...

 Wave the flag with pride...

 enjoy a summer day in the old fashion way...

             GOD BLESS THIS COUNTRY!!!

ROLL OUT THE BARREL!!!!

 and we'll have a barrel of fun!!!!

 I am inCATneato...

 can you see me?

 hello everyone!  Happy Fourth of July week to all of you!

 I am in the garden exploring the grass filled wine barrel...

 I can not decide which of the 3 types of grass taste better...

 do you like to eat grass?

 it is also nice to lay on...the blue grass is very soft...

 I like being outside...

 the sunshine feel good on my furs...

 I count my blessings that I am so lucky...loved, safe and well cared for.  My purrrs go out to all the animals in Colorado who have to endure the terror of the wildfires...
