Why, yes, there does seem to be a cat theme

Okay so Smudgie loves the garden - twice a year tops, so clearly on her own terms - but sometimes a girl just has to hide behind the air-conditioning unit in the corner apparently.

Ironically that's dogwood off to the right in the photo. I have mentioned that I rarely choose plants that are just green, haven't I?


Smudgie's birthday was July 1st and she was nine years old this time around. I think I'd choose to be 28 several times in a row if I had the chance; it was a very good year (cue Frank Sinatra)

Anyyyyyyway, as you can plainly see, this blog is truly living up to its original intent. I have nothing else to go on about or say but this is a seriously decent photo of the cat so there ya go.

LY,S

And cats

Well, cat, singular.

To go with the dogs, yes.

As the great philosopher OLF once said ... I got nothin'

Lets's see ... I AM going to keep my eye appointment today even though I have an impending migraine and I know the doctor will put those damn drops in my eyes for the glaucoma check.

But on the other hand ... I have the animals to keep me warm.

As to the photo, it is a lovely composition of the subject, isn't it. Until you look past the animal and realize that's not spray-on fake snow and ice on the window behind her.

So, I need to keep my appointment. But it snowed last night and the driving is amazingly slick. But I have animals to lower my blood pressure.

As you can see, my world is full of buts today. Let's hope they all stay the single "t" kind as I hesitatingly go forth into the world.
