A Hard Day’s Night

This is what Sid looked like after an extremely tough day. In the morning he made his rounds in the garden. Then had a hearty breakfast and played run along the fence with the neighbor dog Arno, who lives directly opposite.

Sang with the birds on the wire.

Worried a bit about the gray sky thinking rain was coming but the sun came out again.

A crow came and taunted him to play, who can reach the top of the tree. Sid got up pretty high, like he always does but then that darn crow just let out some caws and flew away. Sid got down, had a hearty dinner and dragged himself off to bed. The picture above shows a very tired cat after a very happy and full day.

While the Lilacs Still Bloom

Just checking in. It was another one of those indecisive days. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do. Then I got a whiff of the lilacs growing in our garden. I knew that it was time to head on up to the top window sill just to lie in the breeze and get a good sniff of those lilacs while they’re still in bloom.

Do you see those lilacs behind me?

Well it’s time for a nap. Until next time have a great day.

Song Birds

Really, I really do enjoy listening to those song birds in the spring and summer. Sometimes they do interrupt my sleep but hey, it’s alright.

A chirp, chirp, chirp

and a cheep, cheep, cheep

in my apple tree this morning

just as the day was dawning

 

my cat Sid

sat on the windowsill

enjoying the bird chorus

wanting to join in

 

such a lovely day

golden sun all around

nature starting to awaken

soon the spring will be here

 

with the spring come the rains

that wash the winter away

they stay for awhile

until the first flowers appear

 

then the skies are mostly blue

white clouds floating by

the days so warm and inviting

it is such a wonderful time of year

 

the song birds come each morning

with their lovely songs

making the beginning of the day

start with many smiles

My Neighbor Toro

There I was just minding my own business. I was wondering if I should go find a lazy place to sunbathe or to help papa with the mowing.

Suddenly Toro , my neighbor, the Rottweiler, came to the fence to have a chat.

Then as I was looking about for a nice sunny spot along came a cawing crow….

It landed on the garage roof demanding more chow. Finally I was able to find a private spot under a lilac bush for a nice deserving rest.

Let Me Sleep

There I was in my favorite sleeping positions just waiting for the sun rays to find me upon the bed. When I heard the first click. Oh, no mom’s taking photos again.

Ah, the sun arrives. Another click……

Mom, are you done? And I resumed my original position this time with the sun on my tummy.
