Three of the Contessa's Nine Lives

Morning. She surveys her Kingdom.







Afternoon. Her Royal Nap.









Midnight. The Catristocracy is unpopular with the working class.

I've got a hard drive full of photos just like those. Except for one thing, Conti is beautiful where as the best I could say about mine is that they aren't ugly. Don't get me wrong I love my kitties, but none of them comes close to Contessa's beauty.

Contessa is a true beauty! Our white cat, he's half siamese, with the cross eyes when he stares at us. Kinda freaks me out, when he looks at me!

Beautiful photos!

I'm a dog person, too...but lately not so much with the way ours is behaving. Your Contessa is looking way more amiable...and she's so beautiful!

songbird: she freaks out very easy.
swampwitch: I'm not allergic and even her fuzzies make ME sneeze
chrisb: she is sweet - when her highness decides to be
WT: she didn't look so pretty at the animal shelter. I think she was bedraggled, skinny and in pain. Now she's quite uppity.
debs: yes, she's the midnight marauder and I was waitin' for her this time.
Susie: in reality they are very blue
Crhistine: when they look at you cross eyed they are trying to decide which one of you to scratch
wolfbaby: The Contessa tilted her nose. I think she was accepting the compliment
Tammy: I love dogs. I miss having one. The Contessa went woof once.
Masago: she's staying cool -- isn't even interested in going out in the heat. me neither.

I love Tessy. She is so pretty. I wish she was more snuggly. But then again, I'd be too doped up on Antihistimines to enjoy her company if she were!!

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Image
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
