HOME, A SWEET, SAFE PLACE TO BE 🐱🐢🏑


KEEPING CALM IS A MATTER OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IN ABIDING BY RULES AND IN WORKING TOGETHER IN HELPING EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY GIVING ALL THE AMMUNITION THAT'S NEEDED TO THE PEOPLE WORKING FOR US IN πŸ₯ΌπŸ©Ί , IN GROCERY STORES, TRUCKERS, GARBAGE MEN, EVERYONE WHO IS DOING A VITAL JOB ON THE FRONT LINE IN FIGHTING THE VIRUS FOR ALL.

PLEASE, STAY HOME.
CHERISH FAMILY, AND ALL GOD'S CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL FOR THEY HAVE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR YOU AND YOU MUST REMEMBER THEY COUNT ON YOU, SO TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM TOO.

 KEEP SAFE ♥️πŸ™


My little menagerie of collected animal statuettes from my country thrift store jaunts. Can you tell I'm old? ... lol 



'I'm afraid I'm not very good with people. I'm alright with animals but people, I'm not very good with, I never have been.' ~ Doctor Dolittle played by Rex Harrison 1967 





We are somewhat in the country and I am very happy about that but I always wanted to escape somewhere farther out, like forever, and spending time with a good book now allows me to be there. Some time ago I read a story by James Herriot, 'The Card Above the Bed'. It told the story of an elderly lady fearing she never would be with her pets in heaven. James Herriot replied, 'Well, I don't believe it. I patted the hand which still grasped mine. If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. You've nothing to worry about there.'
...' Oh, I hope you're right.'




Three Cats, A Dog, and A Camera When my daughter, Emma opened her Instagram account she named it 'Three Cats, A Dog, and A Camera' Grace was still with us. 




The above picture of our Grace was taken back on Aug 14/ 2013 The bottle of Cataroma was a toy M bought for Grace so not making fun of the virus just interesting.

“You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.” Robert Louis Stevenson



To me, my past is a sweet, safe place to be, and through the medium of this book I shall spend a little time there now and then.' ~ James Herriot

So, I will read a few good books, practice a little piano, paint, stay connected by writing posts, even with my terrible, terrible grammar and some time soon take that much-needed walk in the countryside and pick pussy willows I saw yesterday. It's the time!

Oh and if you have not seen this video of Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger then now would be a good time.






Treating animals like people is no madness or disgrace'.

~ Doctor Dolittle 1967 

Time is never wasted with cats or with your pets.



So on that note, I think I'll play a little hide and seek with Bat.

Stay safe and remember ... Help our front line responders risking their lives for ours. Stay Home!!!♥️πŸ™ πŸ€— 🐱🐢

Twilight at Sea


The Twilight Hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten Thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.
