Cats

I see so many things changing all 'round the house.  And lots of boxes everywhere.  (I do love boxes!)  The ZH keeps taking things from one place and putting them into boxes.  So I thought I should put some of my things into boxes, and I gathered up my toys.  At first I could not find my favorite "pinky".  But then I was thankful that I did find "pinky"! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ We also want to

Mum has been seeing lots of this lately, my snuggled up keeping warm pose. Tis a bit cold and chilly here at Chez Q. The wind is blowing up from the south (Antarctica) and we is feeling it. The mumster has her scarf and gloves on under her jacket to and from work. We spent the night snuggled up together, and I had to wake mum up and tell her when I got in from my toilet breaks outside. I like to let her know if it has been raining outside - just in case she didn't know.Mum says she does like heading to bed early to read her book snuggled up with me, that's the good thing about winter, especially now she has warm fleecy sheets.

::MEOW::Hello and Welcome to Garden Thursday with Virginger. Goodness, how time is moving on! It is already Memorial Day weekend coming up. Mum needs to get some flowers to plant in pots outside, really soon. I will need to get on her about that. This is our crabby apple tree from outside, pretty much in full bloom the other morning when mum went out to take pictures. This is the view we get from inside from mum's sleepy spot! Nice and pretty to wake up to in the morning. Sadly, the blooms don't last long, specially on rainy and windy days like we are having. Lots of pink confetti on the ground.Mum cut off some lilac's and took them to work with her to enjoy while she day hunts. They smell so pretty but they don't last very long once cut. Some of our special fevver furiends, Mr and Mrs Baltimore Oriole. They are so fun to watch when they come to the feeder. Plus they stand out so well in the trees. Me, since it is cool and rainy outside, I even came in for a long nap with Derbs. Just catching up on what we need to bug mum about.So that is the garden report for this week.Love, Virginger.

Today is day 22 of a challenging creative journey; the Story a Day Challenge made by Marian Allen on her blog (Her day 22 story) . My month long series begins here:     Here is my next one, as we begin to head into the home stretch.... Letting Go by Nikita Cat Sept. 2005 Another year at Cambridge was beginning and as William packed for the trip back to school he contemplated the old photo in its frame on the wall of his room; he knew that Aubrey was probably long dead, but some part of him simply refused to let go of hope entirely so the photo remained in its place of honor, even as the family eventually adopted a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel they named Macbark that he loved in spite of himself. Taking the photo down, he put it in a drawer, sighed, and closed the door behind him.

Chooch, Chase and Mayberry

::Meowwww:: Welcome back my garden furriends! We have had tons of rain here. Bucketing down. Plus it's been cold. In the 40's in the morning. It's May for cats sake! My plants need a bit of warmth. So do I. I make do with a pile of cushions that are kept on my bench to stay out of the rain. Dad calls me the Princess and the Pea. Some of my furriends asked about my artichokes. They think I'm some sort of feline gardening wonder because my plant is producing tons of artichokes. Mom and dad have already chowed down 3 of them and there are a dozen more on the plant. How do I do it? Well...the big secret is that I meowed at mom and dad to put in an artichoke plant as an experiment last summer. The big plant you see behind me has been growing and growing since last year. It produced nothing last year. It survived the winter and kept growing. Now it's gifting us with lovely artichokes! Since I was so successful with this one plant...dad went to the garden center and bought me 5 more. As you can see I got right to work purring over them so they too will be big and strong...but they won't produce anything for us for quite some time. Maybe next year. So if you have planted an artichoke, don't worry if it takes some time. So...I have to show you my flowers.The foxgloves are everywhere! The peonies are blooming. They always have little ants all over them. The Jerusalem Sage is bursting with yellow. I love it. Hope you are enjoying your garden. I am going to purr that it dries out for us soon. Mom wants to help me plant my basil this weekend.
