Mini-ManCat Monday

God allows cats into Heaven just so He can keep an eye on them. - Dixie Carter

Keep an eye on us? No, we gotta keep an eye on him or her!

Me and mum had a quiet day yesterday. She stayed home and watched racy cars on TV. Although she did have an invite to go to the big CrashCar race she didn't want to spend all day there waiting around for a couple of hours of racing. Plus you only see the cars go by about once every 2.5 minutes. Mum says that is boring. She is too used to actually working events, not spectating. 

I did get a bit bizzy and noisy the past few nights. Mum did get some moovies. They set stuff off, then move around in case the police get called. Good news is that they stopped at bedtime. 

 

 Here is mum's holly-day lunch. She grilled herself a burger and had some salad stuff with it. Then she ate it while the racy cars did their thing.

Then me and mum put our feets up and rested and watched the moving picture box. We are not planning on doing much today. No racy cars to watch, so mum will probably read a book. 

Have a wonderful week everyone.

Happy Purrthday America!

Happy Purrthday America. I don't have enuf paws to count how old the USA is but mum says it is lots and lots of years, 245 by her calculations.

Mum joins me in wishing all of you Mericky kitties a good day. Safe and hopefully not too noisy with the fireworks. Cellybrate but do so safely. Me and mum will watch the moving picture box, watching the racy cars, fireworks and other holly-day stuff from the safety of our home. 

 

Mum ordered these special fireworks as usual, in that they don't make booms to scare kitties. They are pretty but won't scare you. Mum skips the local fireworks, says the people just get crazy. She watches the stuff on the moving picture box, no driving, no crowds and the noise isn't so bad that it scares me.  Now to honor America, please join in and sing a few songs with us. Sing them from your heart.

God, bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, And guide her
Through the night with a light from above.From the mountains To the prairies To the oceans white with foam, God, bless America, My home, sweet home.God bless America Land that I love
Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night with a light from above
From the mountains To the prairies To the oceans white with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home
God bless America....
My home sweet home!

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!

America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self the country loved
And mercy more than life!

America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

Caturday

 HiYa Ducky here. Happy Caturday, Happy 4th of July weekend. Happy Hot Days. Well, not so happy about the hots. They are back. 

It is early, mum already has the fan going and said the windows won't be opening up today. It was nice the past couple of days so they were open. 

Woot, mum bought whipped cream (yes I got some) and loaded up her plate with cake, berries, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Something cool to eat on a hot day. Mum had this last night after going out for lunch with Miss Lynn. Mum brought home leftovers and said there is chicky in the box and she will share. 

A shirt mum has with patriotic cats on it, she might just wear this tomorrow! Mum is staying home for the weekend. She got all the foods in yesterday afore meeting with Miss Lynn for lunch. So she can chill at home. Watch the CrashCar people racing at Road America. Yeah, mum goes there lots for her events, but won't go anywhere near this weekend. She even turned down an offer to go with someone in their Corvette. Mum just wants to avoid the whole mess this weekend.

Everyone have a wonderful and safe weekend.

Puzzle Garden Thursday

 Hey, we made it to a new month! The month we cellybrate Mericky's purrthday and all in a few days. Oh dear, that means fake buzzer and boomers from outside. Not to worry, mum will keep me safe and happy. 

Oh yeah, Happy Canada Day to the folks to the north. 

 Thanks to all who dropped by for my purrthday. It was a good day and nice to be amembered by so many. I may be a teenager but I still feel like a kitten some days. Ready to play, run and jump. 

 Then you know I just have to chill as well. Me hanging out on the tower, mum woke me up while she took the pic. But then she left me alone to return to my nap. 

Mum got the rest of the grass evened off on Wednesday. Even though it was hot she powered on through it and got it done. Then she went off to find a new garden hose. The old one was leaking all over the place. So she has a way to water things, but lately we have enuf rain for the grass and flowers. Mum likes to really wash out the birdy bath with the hose too. 

The top two pics are from flowers that mum got and planted late in May. The first one is bee balm and the second one is dianthus. The last one is the front planter box. 

 Puzzles!

Mini-ManCat Monday - Purrthday Party

Cat angels are the reason there are no mice angels. - Mel Brooks

Mum says I am now a teenager and she hopes I don't give her the troubles that human teenagers give there human parents. 

Yep, mum left me for the weekend to go play with racy cars. It was the first time since Nov 2, 2019 that mum hadn't slept in her own bed. She said the new for her place she said was quiet and clean. She may stay there again.

 It was a bit rainy on Caturday, but it was a lighter rain and mist. So not bad mum said. Sunday was nicer, with sunny afternoon. The racy stuff was OK, good races, they went off on time and no one got hurt. They also served a nice dinner on them on Caturday night. 

OK, enuf of mum's stuff. On to my purrthday party. I had mum get all sorts of good stuff for us. So come on over, enjoy the foods and drinks. 

 

Plus nip cake! 

 

Caturday

 HiYa Ducky here. Happy Caturday. Going to be a off and on wet weekend. Lots of good napping time for me! I have to rest up, my purrthday is Monday!

Mum sat for a bit yesterday and worked on her crow-shay hats. She did it while she watched the basey ball game. First game that the team was allowed to have full capacity in the stands. However we could tell it wasn't a sell out. Lots of cheering fans. 

Mum readed on her pile of books. She finished the old pile and picked up a new batch on Thursday. Mum says she needs to keep her brain in tune. 

Oh yeah, mum got out her red traveling bag. Something tells me she might be going somewhere. I will keep you posted. 

Have a wonderful weekend. 

Puzzle Garden Thursday

 Wow, another week has passed by. We got about 2 inches of rain in the past week, so the grass is greener and mum says the grass isn't crunchy when you walk on it now. 

First me and mum want to send love and healing purrs to Miss Jackie. She was the mum to Gorgeous Gingers Eric and Flynn. They are at The Bridge now and their mum needs our purrs. Get better soonest. 

 

Mum has her pile of paper that she recycles. She added the little black box, it smelled like butter and she had just opened a new box of the stuff. She didn't let me lick the butter.

We had excitement the other day. Mum was eating her lunch and heard sirens really loud. So when she finished eating and looked outside she noticed the bamulance driving out and the big red truck was parked by the naybors. The naybors said a guy on the trail was all confused so they called for help.

Hey dog! Get out of my yard! Mum said it was OK, he was on his leash and his human Nick had come over to tell mum what was going on. No, we have no way to know if they person is OK, but we hope they are OK. The dog is called Ollie. He is a corgi.

He wasn't the only introoder, mum caught this cat a few weeks ago passing through the garden. Mum thinks he lives in the nayborhood, she has seen him before running across the street and then up a tree.

Puzzles. One of me and one of a purrty flower taken by a fellow cat mom Brenda. She used to have Beau Beau and Angie, now has two gorgeous ginger Norwegian Forest cats.

Mini-ManCat Monday

Cats regard humans as warm-blooded furniture.

Officially it is summer here now in the northern half of the globe. Longest daylight hours of the year, but it was a cloudy and a bit rainy. So hard to tell if it was long daylight day or not. 

I sat on mum's lap for a while yesterday. She worked on her crow-shay hats while she watched racy cars on the moving picture box. She finished one hat and did two more. Being a rainy day she didn't have to much else to do. She finished the last part of a book and did the washing. 

One of the shelters had a fund raising walk. This was one of the cats who was on the walk, he looks rather cool doesn't he?

Not much going on this week, everyone have a good week.

Caturday

 HiYa Ducky here. Happy Caturday. Me and mum are just planning to hang out for the weekend. She has been doing her chores. Dishes, recycling out to the bin, picking up stuff and making the place neat. Even a bit of the evil sucking monster. 

We had a couple of nice days in the middle of the week, so open windows for me to sniff. Mum even sat outside one night and readed her book. Nice temps, gentle breeze and no mosquitos! Plus it is Box Day so mum is showing me in the box from a couple of weeks ago. I am not a big box kittie so mum doesn't leave them around for me. 

Then the tree monkey guys were here. Mum had them come to fix the trees. The one out front had a big deaded branch up on top. Plus in places it was so low she had a hard time ducking under it to use the grass eater. In the back they took away the short tree stump too. Mum says they didn't even cut it, just wiggled it out of the ground. Now she needs dirt to fill up the hole!

In the back, the cut out lots of the little dead stuff and a few somewhat larger pieces but left the ones that mum hangs the fevver feeders on. The crabby apple tree looks much nicer.

In the front the dead stuff from up on top and the tree monkey way up doing his job.

Mum even got a moovie, no tree monkeys were hurt in this but mum said wow! Glad she got the moovie.

Happy Weekend to all and Happy Dad's Day to all the Dads!
