Who's the star of this movie? 4th Celebration

 "Lynn,  when are you going to start the movie?  I am ready

fur viewing."

Down in front there girl.  I'm planning on watching a good

dvd movie and I really would like to see it all.

"We hope y'all have a great 4th celebration. And without

too much noise."

"The vizush deer left few buds to open this year.  These

lilies are fur Angel Seney.  All flowers in her garden are 

pink only.  Girly girl kitties around here, ya know."

Grey Onesie / Maltese Day

 " I wear a grey onesie evfurry day of my life.  I have been a tad bit jealous that other kitty colors have special days. It has been on my mind enough that I've been in a bit of a grey mood."

"There's a day fur Tuxedo kitties,  Black kitties,

Ginger kitties and Tabby kitties.  You git my

drift, right."

"I came home to Lynn from the orphanage with only the

one grey onesie.  So I had no way to change my furs."

"Yay!  That's me sittin' on top of the world with my

green eyes and grey onesie!  My BFF Jo Jo and her

mom Barb made this fur us kitties with grey color furs.

That's Jo Jo sittin' front and center to help us celebrate."

My BFF Jo Jo

"Jo Jo is more entertaining than I am.  She likes to 

help make the bed.  Me, I just sleep in my bed tent.

She loves her newest fur mate,  Nutmeg the pup."

" I am so furry delighted that there is now a Maltese

kitty day.  That's all us other loveable and furry and 

floofy kitties with our grey furs."

.Regardless of breed, any cat with solid grey colouration has two pairs of double-recessive genes for the non-agouti and colour-dilution traits, and so an exclusive mating between two solid grey cats should always produce solid grey kittens.

Gray Catbird

"One of Lynn's furavorite summer burds.  A Gray Catbird.

She says it reminds her of ME!

They are maltese too!  And they eat meal worms by the

thousands and meow all summer long.  But I really don't

quite know what they are saying.  Think it's in French or

something."

One hop, two hop bunnies

 "I was out one morn on my catio, whilst  a bit dusky.  And cold and windy."

"I had already come in fur a warm up.  And a bit more breakfast.

Lynn doles it out one crunchie ata time.  Sometimes my

tummy is so empty."

"I had had 2 brushies already too."

"When Lynn called out da magic words  "Bunnies"

and I went running fur da door."

"Not one bun,  but two buns!  They musta heard

Lynn and maybe smelt me, 'cause they froze fur

a while.  Finally I got bored,  the air was cold

and da bunnies hopped outa sight."

(this was in early June when it was cold)

"I had to have nourishment by then."

"I work with Lynn at home.  We don't go out to work."

Astilbe, the deer noshed off most of the one in the back.

Practicing safe self distancing still

 "I did not have on a mask when I was outside on my catio.  But when Tuxie stopped by fur a word with me,  we kept our healthy distance.  Don't want to spread germs."

"We were discussin' farmin' methods fur the nippy plants."

"Lynn tries to keep a plant fur the neighbors to nosh on.  

However, it can git down to a nubbin."

"Then the one in the fence to save it's life,  gits all broke and

chewed on and even SPRAYED!  And not with pesticide, let

me meow you."

"Tux said he'd keep on comin' by to git a bit of nip. And

I approved his visits."

Lynn's iris

One of 4 Showy Sedums damaged by the deer

And one reached up on the porch and ate the

Sunpatien that was recovering from the cold weather

and blooming quite well.

Same box, new wrapping

 "Lynn said I could have this big box fur as long as I like.  And I like.  But she said after 6 months of looking at Echo Leaf Blower it was time fur a change.  Just like wimin to wanna change the decorations."

"So one day she went shopping at the Dollar Tree and

came home with some pretty paper."

"It's rainbows!  Much more girly fur me."

"I tried helpin', but that wasn't the bestest thing I could do."

"I just let her do it and it seems she used as much tape as she

used paper, mol.  But the end result is the inside is just as

nice as it was.  She did not rearrange my furniture/bed.

And she seems to like this picture better.  Of course, 'cause

I'm in the photo and in the box. Meow."

As a side note,  there are only 62,000 people in our county.

And only 16,500 in our city of Mount Vernon.  And Mt. V.

is the largest town in the county.

Downtown, everything's waiting for you

 "Petula Clark got in Lynn's head and she went Downtown, where the lights are much brighter there.  So now is evfurry one got this tune spinning in their head?  She's done it agin."

"She says she gonna go to the bank, the post office, 

the library and such.  Our little city has not much else."

I thought I'd share a tour of our city.  This is the courthouse as we are

the county capital.  I was called to jury duty but not chosen once.  The

inside is incredible but no one is allowed in without an appointment.

The top of the cupola from the massive 4 sided clock up was just

replaced.  It took 2 years to rebuild and have a new clock.

One of our several elaborate churches.

 

This is the Masonic Hall and it sits on the east side of

our square.

The flower shop always decorates the deep entryway in.

Not a lot of shops in town.  The book store and the bike shop are in the building on

the left.  The other side of the street has a couple restaurants and small stores.

Most multi story buildings have been renovated and taken over 

by the 3 colleges in our city and the community hospital.  

The good thing is these buildings are not just sitting empty forever.

These two are connected.  The peach color building is a fun gift shop of

knick knacks.  The other building has seen many stores come and go.  On 

the north side of the square are a couple small shops.  

Nice place to take a walk when it is too cold or windy to be

outside for long.

The statue is on the square.  It's a one way drive around

with lots of parking.  There is a small tiered fountain and

a Memory Wall for fallen veterans.

"And Lynn made it home in time fur me to have my

brunch and Greenies.  And she quit humming thank goodness."

My own tea towel

 "As you may already know,  I hafta take a pill evfurry day fur my allergic ears.  Sos I don't scratch 'em off my head any more."

"I git my licky stick stuff on a saucer with the 

pill crushed up sos I don't know it is there."

"Lynn gave me a very lovely old tea towel.  She says the kind

no one sells anymore.  Something about 100% cotton, made in

the USA.  I just know that I sit on it when it is time to have

my "treat".  Of course some kitties are not allowed on the

eating area,  but Lynn says she's nevfur had a reason fur

us kitties to stay off the counter."

"I'm not havin' great catio times.  It is always wet 

and windy and cold fur too many weeks.  But I do

go out while it is still a bit dark.  Seems daylight

is comin' sooner,  just not sunlight."
