Most of you won't be aware that my girl has not been well the last few weeks. I shared with a few people privately, and primarily via Facebook, where I could reach non-TCS people and TCS people, alike. But now my girl gets her Bridge thread.
It started with peeing accidents, and seemed like a...
I was out in the garden earlier today, taking a few pics, and when I came in, camera still in hand, there was Cindy on the bed. She wasn't much amused by the flashy thing -- as usual -- so most of what I got was through slitted eyes. But she did favour me with one...
Finally, a lovely day, and sufficient time to play among the plants and snap a few pics.
The Forsythia has burst forth...
A single branch against blueblue sky...
And the Quince!
Nice to see the Hydrangea sporting lots of new green...
And fat and sassy herbs, tarragon...
...and...

Just wanted to show off my sweetie's current pride and joy. DH is the gardener in the family. At the moment, he is particularly pleased with one of his jade plants, which late last fall hinted that it might be interested in flowering. So he did a little research, and has been coddling it ever...
We were sitting on the back porch, sipping and nibbling. Both kitties appeared within seconds, and took up companionable posts. Looking at Fawn, Rob was compelled to comment, "Who says kitties don't smile?"...
I'm sure many of us have seen this before, but it never hurts to see it again, and for those who have not...

Caution: you might want your tissue box handy.
Last night we were coming home from a lovely dinner. We had given a friend a lift home, so were coming home by a different route than usual. It was around 11 pm and there was still a fair bit of traffic, and it seemed not to be moving very well. Then we saw what was slowing it down. The oncoming...
...but I really do believe Cindy apologized to me -- profusely.
Cindy is the mushy one in our family, and she's definitely Mum's girl. But she's also a tortie, so the mush is on her terms, thank you very much.
One of the things she especially likes is for me to sit on the edge of the bed...
...so wrote the friend who sent it to me...

When you click on the ball, it changes colour. I promise you it IS possible to click on the ball, but it's a devious little devil.
Have fun.
[I debated putting this in the Bridge, but it's not about the passing of a kitty. It's an observance of a special anniversary, that of the birth of a teacher.]

Cindy and Fawn are 7 today (near as we can figure -- they share their Grandma's birthday)
From the girls: Mum and Dad are catching mousies today, so we'll probably do that too (only we'll chase real mousies -- we don't believe they do ) and sleep some, and chase each other, and kill DoofusDog...

Him: Why is there cat hair in my wallet?
Me: Why should your wallet be different from every other part of your life?
