A nice day for a white wedding day

I wonder how many guests in the church noticed what was written on Stan's shoes when he was kneeling at the alter☺️

Happy Anniversary to my forever pet❣️

Love you, Stan!

HAPPY EASTER 🐣🐇

HAPPY EASTER 🐣🐇

Well, I’ve wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I’m happy to state I finally won out over it.

SWEPT AWAY TO ANOTHER WORLD - IS THERE LIFE ON MARS?

Florence and Bat went to the seaside for the day.


FLORENCE : The crashing waves on a hot summer's day playfully mix with the crescendos of Life on Mars that's playing inside my head. Dreaming under a shy sun, we have been swept away: to another world. Is there life on Mars?


WIP Inspired by David Bowie and Edward Gorey

LIFE ON MARS


It's a God-awful small affairTo the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?



It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns

But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on



Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

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!!!♥️🙏 🤗 🐱🐶 

Spring Waltz 🌱

“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature-the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter” ~ Rachel Carson

the above quote for March reads:

"If children at school can be made to understand

how it is just to be humane even to what we term inferior animals, it will do much to give them a higher tone and character through life."

 ~ John Bright

March break, a good time to learn more about nature

 The cats found something to do

 Like playing pretend and wishing that bird was not just a toy.


First day of spring

 "No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn."

~ Hal Borland

Frédéric Chopin - Spring Waltz 🌱

Mariage d'Amour - Paul de Senneville

🍃🍃🍃But the weather forecast doesn't promise it's arrival any time soon.

So, on that note, I'll take from the cats on what to do, maybe take out my toys and paint a faraway place where spring is already in bloom.

“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” ~ Karl Lagerfeld

These are the memories we will never let go. It seems like it was just yesterday we were treasure hunting with Grace. We discovered Geocaching and M and I went on some wonderful outdoor adventures around our region like Merrickville and Kemptville searching for the secretly hidden geocaches. Grace helped us find them all. Although there are mixed views on the game and I understand the dangers associated with it, we still love playing the game. The clues, the puzzles, the mystery and stories, the thrill of the adventure of finding the cache in the most unexpected secret location are all part of the fun of geocaching and besides that its a wonderful excuse to take a walk in nature, breathe in the fresh air and bring your dog out for a walk, sadly we will miss having Grace on our next hunts.
