Rainy Sunday. That calls for a trip to a flea market.

I saved a teeny praying mantis out on the FIV+ patio at the sanctuary a couple of weeks ago, just as Midas and Doodles had begun to take an interest in it. The week before it was a frog hiding behind their litter box. I hate to disappoint the boys, but we played chase with some of their toys to compensate. The praying mantis, btw, seemed pretty cranky about the whole rescue attempt.Baby Su knows you're happy, so there ya go
Rain, gee, it's such a really nice concept
…
However, I did get this picture this morning of my buddy the praying mantis. I mistakenly thought it was over in the other smaller plant, but such was not the case LOL. Oops.
It's growing, so that means it's eating, and THAT is a good thing - a little organic pest control.
I love to sit and enjoy coffee with Speedy and watch the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks right outside the window. The coffee always tastes better at these times.

LOL, I've pretty much come to the conclusion they're cranky creatures. Or, they don't have much use for us humans. I can just imagine them having this to "say" about usThe praying mantis, btw, seemed pretty cranky about the whole rescue attempt.

"Wait until next year, Trolley-Dodgers!"Our Dodgers may have lost, but we love 'em anyway
Thanks for the memories, Dodger fans; I haven't seen a Dodger game for over sixty years, and even then, it was only because my Dad wanted to see Mister Robinson play before he left baseball. Dad said that he changed the world, but never got credit for it.

!! We hope your day is wonderful in every way! Having seen Lelia decorate a gingerbread house in the holiday photo contest last year, I have no doubt that she would decorate a beautiful birthday cake, also!
Best Wishes,

So round 1 of storms produced nothing here for this backyard, here's hoping round 2 is a little more forthcoming with the water
Hmmm, s'pose I oughta be careful what I ask for...However, due to this
, somebody disappeared, mostly LOL.--Actually he's fine, he loves doing this no matter the weather, but I got a kick out of the not-disappeared tail

Took a bunch of shots of various cat collectibles around the house and thought I'd share a couple, as they make me feel PAWSitive and I'm hoping they will you all, too. 
#1 and #2 are Lennox, #3 is Holt Howard, and #4 I'm not sure, but I've seen others like it.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I had ageed to babysit this morning at 6am (I'm clearly insane 
), but the kid slept until 9 and was a sweetie when she woke up, and then I got a nap, a Polish buffet dinner and a couple kisses and lots of laughs from my silly girl.
Settling in with some wine, leftover cake from yesterday, and the ten o'clock news and hoping good things will happen in the coming year.

It is rainy here, I love a good summer rain to sleep to (I work night shift). So it sounds like I will be sleeping on the couch under a pile of my favorite senior cats and listening to the rain! Sounds like the perfect day!
A belated happy birthday to
Lari
, wishing you all the best for the coming year.
I absolutely love the two bejeweled figurines in #2
tarasgirl06
. They would fill the gap nicely between the two on the left And thanks again for the tip on the Ikea pet beds. As you can see Princess Kitty likes them very much and she gets a lot of use out of them.
I have filled all the cabinet space I had available, Karen has a collection of old cameras and photography stuff. Let's just say it won't be a pawsitive outcome if I touch her photography stuff
I don't have cabinets that will fit the larger figurines I have, so it looks like an upcoming project will be to make some cat themed display cases.

Having learned a lot from my ex who was a finish carpenter at one time, I can say it's very PAWSitive to build stuff, especially stuff that's cat-related! *He gave me that Lenox pair as a gift. They are beautiful, aren't they?* Big IKEA fan here -- I know anything with their name on it is quality!A belated happy birthday to

...and you can see a couple of cats-that-won't-fit-in-cabinets here: a very vintage gold cat who's been in the family for yonks, and an antique plant stand my mom bought, that's quite amazing.

- That seems easy enough as long as you don't feel the need to have the figurines behind glass-fronted doors. It sounds like a scroll-saw project to me.
Here it's not quite as mild as yesterday, though even at 80º it's relatively comfortable. Our second rainy day looks to be on its way, beginning between 2:00 and 3:00 PM, with thunderstorms building below the lake, and for once the Lawn Guys seem to have hit the timing on organic fertiliser and iron just right. With a bit of good luck, and a few more storms these next few days, the world might well go from brown to green once more!

Hi everyone! I got the larkspur deadheaded this morning (I'm probably late, but we'll see if any more blooms come along), cat and bird related chores done, checked the zucchini plants and whoops! ...found a big surprise that had been hidden from view, so whipped out a quick-bread recipe even though I wasn't planning on baking when it's hot like this. Yummy!
Sometimes ya just gotta. Sounds GREAT! *and may your larkspur bloom well and prolifically! My dad loved them.*
I'm feeling very pawsitive this afternoon. The kids had swim lessons this morning and we got caught in probably the worst rain I have ever had to drive through. White knuckled for most of the trip. We were driving the same direction as the storm which apparently had a little bit of thunder. The pool is indoor but thankfully it was clearing up some as we got there and lessons only had a 15 minute delay. But most of all I'm grateful we got there safe and sound. And I'm very much appreciative of having a vehicle with 4 wheel drive! And I'm glad to be back home! It was sunny for part of the drive home. Then it sprinkled again.
