Easy Sunday

Sunny here, 50ish. Maybe it will warm up enough a little later for a spot of deck time.

Ginger Jasper's Mom posted a pretty picture of a Cactus bloom, and so did Marg of Marg's Pets. We also have two cactus blooming plants, one of which is a plant that originally belonged to my Mom's Mom, and the other which was purchased in honor of her sister. The paler of the two plants has been blooming these past couple of weeks, presumably because it got just the right cool climate in the window. So in honor of mothers and sisters everywhere (it is Mothering Sunday in the UK) here are a couple of pictures Dad took:

Photo Hunt - Closed

I think many kitties who feature Photo Hunt on Saturdays are posting about closed doors today. This is my version from a couple of years ago:

On the other hand:

April Fool's Day

It looks like the weatherman/lady played an April Fool's Day trick on me by telling me we were going to have a lot of snow. The temperature has stayed above freezing, and so far it has just been rain! There may be a little snow later but now he/she is saying there won't be much accumulation.

Happy April 1st, everybuddy!

Thursday Gardening Post

::three paw taps::

Posting late today because my assistant had to take my Dad to the doctor for a follow up visit - he had some tunnels built in his hands or something like that last Friday. He is doing great, they said.

This photo is from last Thursday - most of that snow has melted, but we are expecting more snow tomorrow!! April Fools joke NOT.
Outside gardening is yet to begin, but Dad did buy some lettuce seeds. They want to try to grow their own salad greens. This picture is of some of the indoor "Garden" - the narcissus plant has really come up suddenly and fast. In the background is an orchid my Dad tends lovingly. It is called Phalaenopsis Sunset.

Does anycat know what the green plant is called? Srsly, we don't know.
And I guess this picture will be what it looks like for the doves tomorrow!

Head on over to Jonesie's blog to see what she is up to!

One Word Wednesday

Washday !

Missing my iMac Monday

Last November, my humans' iMac computer had a little problem with the picture part of the computer (it went blank) and ended up switching over to a Mac Powerbook computer. The problem is that I miss being able to lie in front of the computer, where my Mom cannot help but see me all the time. Here's a picture from before:

Admiral Hestorb's Mom got a new iMac with a wireless keyboard, and I was telling her she needs to try out this position for lying in front of the screen, because the warmth that comes from under the computer is nice and cozy. Milo posted about helping his Dad on the computer, but I am too big to sit in front of the keys on the laptop the way Milo can. Milo is much more dainty than me! So I have to be content with jumping up on the right side of the computer, walking or hopping across the keyboard, and sitting to the left hand side of it. Kitties, it is just not the same. And it risks the Mom getting mad at me when I press the wrong keys and send half-written emails prematurely! (that happened on Saturday).

So Admiral, the photo above is what I was talking about! Do try it!!

Lazy Sunday

PhotoHunt - Cage(d)

This is my Feline Funhouse. I think it is a not-so-funhouse because I really do not like to be caged. I got it last summer and it was pretty quickly that I learned to paw at it to try to get out, if my folks zipped me into it. Notice that in this photo, I am free to go in and out so as to get under my small table, because the flap is not zipped shut.

Now they have been talking some about a larger catio/cage. I prefer no caging at all.

Feed Me Friday

When I am feeling a bit peckish (i.e. if I am awake!) I give Mom "the look" and lock onto her eyes so that as soon as she gets up out of her chair, I can race to the kitchen for yet another "meal". So far today I have had 2 breakfasts and am trying to wangle a third. Of course I don't necessarily eat it all: sometimes I just lick off the gravy.
