PICK-A-PIC by JUNE

Mine Mommy didn't get 'round to doing her usual Caturday Art for this week, and I hadn't done a "pick-a-pic" in a really long time, so she said "okay, you can take over, paw through your files and choose a few".  

Now, I'm not old as dirt like she is, (hey, don't swat me, Mom), so anyway, I'm hoping you haven't seen these before, cause even I forget what's posted, but even if you have, they're some of my favorites, so here we goes ... with just a little bit of 'splaining.  OK?  OK!  Meow!

Oh, I 'member how excited I got on this day, when she did majorly major cleaning

and found every spring toy I ever had from under chairs, tables, in closets, behind the fridge!

What a collection!  Now I could hide (or lose!) 'em all over again!

But then she had to go and twist one spring around

this old ropey thing, boyohboy did I struggle to get it free ...

look at that top picture again ... see that empty space?

That's where it was s'pposed to be!!!

Hiding.  In the closet.  This is my go-to-closet.

  For when the big thunders come.  

Mine Mommy always keeps the door open an inch or so,

I can put my paw in and all by myself I can open it the rest of the way

and hide in the corner.  We have four walk-in closets and I go in all

of them, but this one is the best cause no light comes on!  And

she doesn't put other stuffs in there so there's always room for me.

It's dark and quiet, and no ~ the shoes don't smell!

Mommy is not too happy 'bout this.  Why?  She's had this very same

Daytimer for 58 years!  Seriously.  

Yeah, there's a calendar, address book, phone numbers, all that stuff,

 on the cell phone, and the 'puter, and the refrigerator ... but this one is special to her.  

Like it means a lot.

I'm just checking to see what's going on today

and of course hear ... "Juney, be careful now ..."

Honestly, I think if the house were afire, she'd grab this before she grabbed me! 

This?  Just because I wanted to share one sort of normal, pretty picture of me!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Meow!  I hope you liked all my pick-a-pics.

I just realized how tiring it is to put together a blog ...

to find pictures,

to write words ...

so, please excuse me if I now go take a little nap.

Happy Caturday Saturday

THE BRIDGE

by Shel Silverstein

This bridge will only take you halfway there
To those mysterious lands you long to see:
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairs
And moonlit woods where unicorns run free.
So come and walk awhile with me and share
The twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known.
But this bridge will only take you halfway there ~
The last few steps you'll have to take alone.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

So come and walk with me awhile.  They do not walk with us long enough,

it is never long enough.  Never long enough to share our world, to share all we

want to give them ~ to receive all they so unconditionally give to us.

And though we are by their side,

they take their final steps alone.

May they be peaceful steps.

Lightning, our beautiful Sibe Boy, rest well forever.

Molly, our beautiful Aire Girl, rest well forever.

THANKFUL THURSDAY

 I'm thankful I'm a good mouser.

But honestly, most-a the time once I catch 'em 

I don't know what to do with 'em.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

 

ON THE OTHER PAW ~

 Oh, look there.  A turtle.  A nip nanner. A mousie tail ...
I think I should jump outta my basket.
I think I should bring those toys in the basket with me ...

On the other paw,

I think I'll just get under my blankie, nap a bit.

The toys will still be there when I wake up, right?

AWWW MONDAY

We seem unable to post this morning, due to inter-furence,

but we'll monitor the situation throughout the day.

AWWW MONDAY

A BEAUTIFUL DAY

 ~ lovely, sunny, breezy blue sky Saturday ~ 

~ a short walk in the park across the street ~
a photo of the Mount Vernon United Methodist Church, the magnificent 
Victorian Gothic cathedral, built in 1872 that faces the park

it still surprises me when I turn onto a side street I've not walked before,

and find a treasure, here a lovely home, tucked back into a wild little garden,

it's bright door so welcoming

meanwhile, back at home, June enjoys her own breezy spring air by the window

~ enjoy this new day, may it be beautiful ~
