helping

"Lynn,  why I don't help you make the bed. "

The thing of it Precious, is the more you help, the

more help I need.

"That's not fair Lynn!  I'm trying to iron out

the wrinkles so tonight you will be able

to sleep better."

"You know,  Princess and the Pea thing."

I'm moving on Precious.  The lumps will have to 

wait.  I need to get the grocery list and head out.

"You may have to search fur me when you git 

home.  My feelin's are hurt real bad."

(huh, I bet you come running when I say "crunchies"!)

"Psst,  I've gotta special post tomorrow if you wanna

stop by.  I'll be showin' off my grey onesie with the

help of my BFF Jo Jo.

Saw first Monarch on Tuesday, 23rd,  and it was laying 

eggs on this Butterfly weed.  I have 6 more plants in

bloom.  Don't know that I'm up to taking on the

caterpillars again this year!

Rain water tastes better

 "Lynn, how come ya nevfur offered me rain water afore?"

"We had such rains fur months on end that one morn I went out

on the catio,  and found a flower pot drowning in water.

I stuck my tongue in it and it was cold and clean and fresh!"

"Now Lynn has to keep a clean dish of water outside so I always

think it's rain water.  She doesn't want me having flower dirt.

Or worse,  chipmunk and squirrel spit.  Oh, yes, they git

in the catio!"

Yearling buck we call Notch.  His ears were ripped by nasty

multi-flora rose thorns when he was a fawn last year.

Here is his sister.  They are both in our yard a lot.  Mom is

seen off and on,  as she is probably with her new fawn in

the back where it is grown over.  These two will be unhappy

when they find they are not going to be getting the milk

supply from now on.

Looking for a bit of privacy

 "Lynn, pull-ease, I'm tryin' to have a bit of a wash up and then a nap."

"My tootsies are touching the ceiling."

"But I'm determined to git the job done."

I think you are headed in the right direction, Precious.

Just don't roll off from up there.  And I do wish you

would not get my insulated overalls so very furry.

The pink garden is trying to bloom.  Iris and bleeding hearts

are finished for the year, darn it.  The astilbe are starting and

so are the lilies.

How foolish of me to forget the hunger of the deer.  One

reached in over top of the tall sedum and snipped off

7 stems of buds.  Effectively stopping 28 blossoms.

As soon as I found this,  I made my egg yolk/water

spray and got the sedum in front and the lilies behind.

Deer don't like the smell of sulfur.  Now I have to keep

at it every time there is some rain.

And here comes Twiggy!

 "Lynn says I walk a bit wonky.  This comin' furom a hooman who falls off her bicycle evfurry year!"

"Lynn says I stomp like Twiggy on the model catwalk.

So she saw this yummy treat at the great and powerful Wally world store

we got in our big little city.  It is supposed to have magical powers."

"Purrsonally,  I think Lynn needs to eat some of

this fishy treat.  Ya know she's as old as the

dinosaurs and creaks when she walks."

Precious,  at least you get to enjoy another treat.  Don't

think you should complain.

Visit with the Cat Clowder

 "I haven't been up here in a while.  Thought I'd visit the family."

"Sometimes I surprise Lynn and jump up on the

armoire from her dresser top."

"I like to make sure all the kitties still live up here."

"This one is Suzy Q."

"And Seney."

"My Glow in the Dark mousie furom the B Team in England.

 And if you look quick,

 you'll see my kitty and the head of Peepers."

"I saw, I sniffed, I left."

"Lynn and the man who rubs my belly went to a 

model train show one very wet Saturday morn.

They saw lotsa models in motion and I said

I'd let her show off a few.  N scale which is

pretty small.  I know, 'cause we got some."

"And then the rains stopped and Lynn took a walk around

our neighborhood.  These were still bloomin'."

While I was busy

 "I was takin' my bath, and I decided to let Lynn muddle along with some of her own yakking today."

"She managed to bike ride a few days after last weeks

frosty morns.  It turned July hotz fur a couple days.

She said she was glad she did not miss the snappers

coming out to lay eggs and walk in the sun."

"Lynn says these are 3 different turtles furom the 3 rides she

took.  Look the same to me! Big and not furiendly!"

"Lynn says this is a raccoon fishin' fur crawdads or fizhes.

It looks suspicious to me, but hey, I was home bathin'."

"Now this I saw with my own eyes as it is right outside the

front door.  I leave you to decide fur yerself what's real

and what's fake.  I'm gonna go to sleep with clean fur."

Lady In Red, nobody here but you and me.

"Do y'all git tired of Lynn's caterwauling?  She's come up with another one fur me."

"I like to play in Lynn's antique jewelry box.  It'd be my

great-great hooman Grandpaw that made it. Lynn says

there's no jewels but lotsa keepsakes."

"I like to git things out and play on the floor.  This time, Lynn

got out Angel Suzy Q's red collar and heart tag and put

it on me."

" I started to go to bed with it, but Lynn decided she better

take it off and 

put it away

fur another day

of play."

I have to say, Precious did not mind one bit that

I buckled the collar.  She tried to reach with her teeth

for the heart but quickly decided going to bed would

be the better thing.  I had to crawl quickly to catch

her and take it off.
