Some Cats Have All The Luck

After spending the morning on and off Etsy and heading out to run errands, when I didn't want to, I came home to this face. It brought me back down to Earth and reminded me that very little outside our home and circle really matters in the scheme of things. Some cats have all the luck. Count me and Althea as two of them.
Until next time.....

Happy St Patrick's Day

I bought this collar for Althea on Etsy for St. Patrick's Day. She's wearing it with her other collar. Guess she likes the layered look. I tried to get her to pose for a decent photo. No way. Finally, I just brushed her fur out of the way and shot a picture.
The corned beef is on the stove for tonight's dinner of corned beef and cabbage. No green beer here, but I did think about putting green food coloring in the key lime pie that I'm making.

From our home to yours, Happy St. Patrick's Day~

About That Lion

This is the only lion we saw around here today. The unseasonably warm weather continues. Bulbs are blooming. Flowering trees are blooming or budding. Spring storms popped up yesterday and are predicted for tomorrow. And after all of the rain, frogs started singing.  But on this first day of March, all is calm and quiet and sunny. Very sunny. And warm. Althea is in need of a pair of sunglasses. Must check Etsy.
I got some onion sets in the ground before the rain yesterday. Today I started broccoli, onions, parsley and garlic chives in flats. I'll post some pictures tomorrow, when it's raining again.
Hope you too are enjoying an early spring.

We Got Snow

For a moment, I thought it was going to be a REAL snow. It came down hard and fast, big flakes blowing in the cold north wind. But when all was said and done, this is what we had. It's better than nothing.





Althea loves snow as much as me. So I grabbed the camera, the cat and headed outside. We lasted all of 15 minutes before she was ready to go back inside. She headed for cover.
Here's hoping the next snowfall tops this one.

Saturday Afternoon Cat Nap

While John is busy cutting grass and I'm busy taking jewelry photos, someone is taking a Saturday afternoon cat nap. Must be nice to be able to root under the covers and take a snooze. Oh well, I'll never know. It's time to put up peaches. Have a great weekend.

Until next time.....

Cat Sun Glasses

Do they make such a thing? Althea needs them! Doubt she'd wear them, but she sure does need them. Look at those squinty eyes. It's the time of year when I go sun glass shopping. I didn't get a new pair last year and I need one desperately. Maybe I should keep an eye out for cool cat glasses. Until next time.....

When I Grow Up

When I grow up, I want to be Althea! This is what I see while I'm working. She follows me around most of the time, like a dog, and sleeps at my feet. Her life hasn't always been this good, but I know for a fact that it has been since we adopted her several years ago.

Have a great weekend!

Until next time.....

To Dance With The White.....

Cat.
Part 3. Last of the cat trilogy.
It’s dedicated to #1. On this day, several years ago, she left us to cross over the Rainbow Bridge~

Happy Birthday Althea

Back in 2003 on this day, I walked into a local shelter and brought Althea home. We were told that she was about 2-3 years old. Best eighty bucks I ever spent! Besides being super smart, well behaved and protective, she does a great job running my Etsy jewelry shop. Since we don't know her actual birthday or age, we chose May 14th; the day we brought her into our home.

With summer coming up, I know that many folks will be getting pets. Please consider checking out your local shelters and rescues. There are so many amazing animals, sitting in cages, waiting for a second chance.

Althea's Friday Finds

There is something for everyone on Etsy. Althea can be found browsing the CATegories at night while the rest of us are asleep. She asked if she could post some of the things that she spotted. Just click on the following photos to get to the shops. So, without FURther ado.....

Until next time.....
