Always with the new bag

 "Look what came home! A crinkly bag! I love it, Lynn."

Precious loves a new large and crisp sounding plastic bag.

Why else go shopping?  I certainly wouldn't want to shop

for myself if I couldn't get the bag. And why did I waste

the money on a pretty velveteen crinkle bag from the pet

store a year ago?  Precious never even investigated it. But

this thing, we play frog on it in the evening.

 And now  while I drink my tea trying

to look out into the yard for wildlife, Precious loves to lay

on the bag. I have a laser beam to use to get her playing, 

but honestly, she prefers I wad up bits of paper and throw

them onto the bag for her to bat about and chase, momentarily.

Of course, when play time is over as it brightens up outside, I

then have to collect the paper wads and off she goes to sleep

off all that play time.

I always put the bag away at night and when I am going

to leave the house. I would never trust her with it alone.

Plastic is dangerous for her to get inside without my

supervision. And she does open it and go in and then

it is licky-licky-licky and chewy crunch-chewy crunch

on the bag. 

"Thanks, Lynn, you knew I'd love it. The bag is

the cat's meow."

By the way, I have removed all other of her bags

off the floor for now. She has way too many to 

keep her interest.

Her new bed is now just a large toy box.  We will

see what winter brings.

This is Butterfly Weed. An Ohio native plant in the milkweed

family.  The Monarch butterflies eat this to the ground, but thankfully,

the 4 or 5 I have come back every year. I've only recently seen

the arriving Monarchs back in the yard.

"I'm glad too, Lynn.  I love watching out front for the 

butterflies in the sunshine."

Not sure when we can expect the trees across the road to be clear cut.

The owner found me working in my garden last week and introduced

himself.  He said the builder can start in 2 months if the lot is cleared

by then.  The builder suggests a "clean slate" to work with. In my

opinion, that makes it easier for him to store his equipment and building

supplies.  The owner said he'd like to keep a few trees.  So for now,

Precious and I enjoy having windows open but listen for the sound

of heavy equipment constantly.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.

It is much appreciated.
