Sweet Swan Surprise.

LP, " Yesterday we were walking the dogs in a park with a little pond in it. We came across these magnificent swans and I had to share these photos with you. The swans' presence seemed to be an unexpected gift from nature since we have never seen swans in this area before. I wanted to share their beauty with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed them. Click photos to better see the  Sweet Swan Surprise! "

Where did you go?!

 

 Levon , " I tucked in my jelly belly. I made like Pancake Levon and then I squeezed and wiggled until I was under the cupboard."

Levon , " Once under , I had a good, thorough, look around."

Levon , " But all I found were dust bunnies! Where did you go my favourite , whappable , furry ball?! Will this be yet another ongoing game of  hide -and -seek?!"













Have a great day!
See you soon.

Almost Wordless Wednesday: Two Loaves Loafing.

LP, " If I look over to my right when I am on the computer, I usually find someone on the little quilt I have placed on the computer table for kitty use. When Malou and Levon share the quilt, they always remind me of two loaves of bread cooling on a rack."

Have a Wonderful Day!
See you soon.

It's Me.Leo.

Leo , " Hi there! I thought I'd catch you up on how I am doing since Tulip left  a few weeks ago. For those of you who don't know, Tulip and I shared the foster room for three and a half years. We were good friends ; two old cats, hanging out in our golden years. Well, let me tell you , at first I was very upset that Tulip left for the bridge! I didn't eat my wet food for a few days and I only ate a bit of my dry food for a week.Not enough food to feed a mouse actually. I was sad. But now I am eating well again!

 Leo , " Tulip was a bit of a chatterbox and I couldn't get a word in edgewise at times but now I LOVE to hear the sound of my own voice and I am always talking to LP. She thinks I sound all creaky and croaky like an old frog.She giggles when she hears me croaking/talking!  How rude!"

Leo , " LP has planted some flowers on the window ledge for me and makes certain the bird feeder is always full so that I get to watch plenty of birds through my picture window."

Leo , " Of course the flowers are pink because pink is one of my favourite colours. I even remember showing you my favourite pink polka dot blanket one day if  memory serves me well! "

Leo, " My routine has changed a bit now. LP is spending more time with me during the day when she can. She is working on a big painting right now.  She paints in the foster room in her spare time which allows her to spend more time with me during the day. That way , I don't get too lonely . She still comes in , in the evenings , with the dogs and we watch a movie together. Or she reads and we all pile on her to keep her warm. "

Leo , " I am also getting more brushing time in after my morning feeding and clean - up. I LOVE being brushed !!  LP claims I sound like a train arriving at a train station my purring is so rumbling loud when I'm being brushed! She calls me , Choo Choo. That is her favourite pet name for me. Choo Choo . . . like the train. All in all , we are finding our way. And I am doing alright."









Have a Terrific Tuesday!
See you soon.

Tide is Out.

 Duffy , " We went to the jetty and the tide was out! "

Duffy , " There were logs and driftwood covering the beach."

 Lost Logs on the beach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Issa , " It was a hot day and there wasn't a drop of ocean as far as the eye could see!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ocean has gone on a walkabout!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where did you go great, big ocean?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Issa , " There is a shelter halfway to the jetty's end ."

Issa , " We like to rest here before continuing our walk. We stop for a water break as well."

Duffy , " Even though the ocean was hiding on us, we saw lots of pretty bushes with yellow blooms all around us."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Duffy and Issa , " It was another wonderful walk with nature."










Have a Marvelous Monday!
See you soon.
