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.

POWDER'D WITH STARS

POWDER'D WITH STARS


I see The Milky Way in Maggie's eye.“


A broad and ample road, whose dust is gold,
And pavement stars—as starts to thee appear
Soon in the galaxy, that milky way
Which mightly as a circling zone thou seest
Powder'd with stars.”

― John Milton Paradise Lost

 

The Visitors 🎄🌲🌲🌲🐾🐾🐾🐾🌲🌲🌲🎄

“The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.”
A couple of cute kitty cats are purrfect to cheer up a sickly fellow. On the other hand, not so sure Bat and Maggie were thrilled by their unexpected journey away from their home sweet home. After all that has transpired in the last week, they might be questioning why all the changes around them. A little afraid of being uprooted from home, I would imagine.

Happy Caturday
a-matter-of-perspective

“I have always thought of Christmastime when it has come round...as a good time"
But, Christmas can have all things, both good and bad, mixed in; it is not exempt from the rest of the days of the year.
The loss of a dear pet, our church cat, Karson, on December 23rd, a day before Christmas Eve, was quite sad, still today and for some time to come for sure. Then Christmas Night was yet another challenge: I may share it later with you.
It all depends on how we look at the situation. I try always to keep positive, although sometimes it's not so easy.
I look at Maggie looking out the window, alone, with no Christmas tree, somewhat a little sad, watching for Karson to come home, or is she just looking at the birds feeding at the feeder. Bat looking at me, thinking? Me thinking? We all have a different view from where we stand or sit.

"What would you not have accomplished if you had been free?"💡 HAPPY CATURDAY!🐱‰🐾

Happy Caturday Theme for October 17th /2020

~ "CATPHABET ~Your cat's name & persuade your cat to pose for a photo with an object that starts with the same letter."

"This year I'm going to be Batman, said Bat"!

And I'm going to be The Cat of Monte Cristo, said Maggie! 

“Ah, lips that say one thing, while the heart thinks another,”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

"Oh, how I wish I could fly like the Bats on the Clock, said Bat!"

Combine the two, cats and a pandemic and, what have you got? Infinite time to think! 

Ah, captivity, house arrest, hours spent in barred boundaries between four walls, and if you are lucky, a garden to soak in the sun while the weather is still warm although now a little too chilly. Nothing like being an outdoor cat! I miss having no boundaries, so what do we do?

Well, we join groups, cat lovers group, art group, writing group, music group, garden group, you find yourself pretty much forget you're living in a pandemic, almost. I still miss visiting family, thrifting, shopping, movies, and eating out. So for the time being this will help some.


THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO

“What would you not have accomplished if you had been free?"

"Possibly nothing at all; the overflow of my brain would probably, in a state of freedom, have evaporated in a thousand follies; misfortune is needed to bring to light the treasures of the human intellect. Compression is needed to explode gunpowder. Captivity has brought my mental faculties to a focus; and you are well aware that from the collision of clouds electricity is produced — from electricity, lightning, from lightning, illumination.”

― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

Until life returns to normal keep focus on the treasures at hand. Stay safe♥️

OCTOBER

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

Inclusive of our cat, Bat, whose name in the book is October.“🖤🐾🐾🐾

Bat's official registered name is October Bat 🐱🦇🖤🧡🎃

Home, for the moment, is our refuge...Rosebud🌹

The news this morning...stay at home.

Its a broken record on repeat, people sick of hearing it but the truth is its good advice for everyone. 

We are not the bird in a cage or the boy in the bubble we have the freedom to take a walk whenever the need should arise. 

I wrote a post ~ Rosebud 🌹 over a year ago when my husband and I were thinking of early retirement. 

Looking back now, I see we made the right choice.

Stay At Home 🏡

 “If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.” ~ Orson Welles

A Case of Vertigo ?

James Stewart and Alfred Hitchcock ...♥️ When one lives with cats the imagination runs wild 😂😸

"A feeling of dizziness...

A swimming in the head...

figuratively a state in which

all things seem to be engulfed

in a whirlpool of terror"




Vertigo ~ Alfred Hitchcock

Our Lucky Charm 🤒🤧😷 Our Black Cat Can Charm All ill Away

Our Lucky Charm 🤒🤧😷

Here is an old Welsh Verse about Black Cats I think is cute

"A black cat, I’ve heard it said,
Can charm all ill away,
And keep the house wherein she dwells
From fever’s deadly sway."

Guardian of the Soul?

Little Sparrows circle, all around us.

Everywhere we go, they follow!

Ever wonder why?


If you believe in God then they are his messengers:

“ his eye is on the sparrow

And I know he watches me”


Or are they the guardians of the soul, like the Ancient Egyptians believed, who carry the dearly departed to heaven ?

I like to believe both.


This Little Silver Sparrow I keep, reminds me always “Not all Treasure is Silver and Gold”.
