A Lazy Sunday Afternoon...

 Sunday afternoon, sun is streaming in..................time to hang off the top of the chaise lounge and get comfortable......
You know it's bound to happen......one arm slips ever so slightly over the edge, and you're falling downwards into oblivion.........or, at least, over the edge of the lounge.

And then there's the Sunday afternoon where you just can't seem to sleep.......and life is just one big bounce and flop from sun patch to sun patch. But in the end Sunday is  meant for regrouping, whether it be grooming one's fur, or falling off a lounge, or finding that perfect sunny spot...

PEEP'S WORLD

 Decided to do a photo group of Peep. We had to euthanize her this weekend. At 14 she had  become so very odd in her behaviours, obssessive compulsive, senile and territorial  over bowls of ice....and when she was a ktten in 1998, she loved her water.....albeit she was a LOT smaller then.
                                                                                                           And now.................
 Little Bo and Peep ( get the name combination?)
 The three amigos......Pye in the centre....licking all of the cat nip toys. I use a spray bottle catnip on the toys and the three of them would go snaky.
 Peep loved her teddy best......wouldn't let the others near it.Not sure what was going on in her mind.
 Ice. In a bowl. Peep would lick the ice as if it was a cat nip popsicle. Still not sure what was going on in her brain.....She would even stand guard ( well, that's what we thought) over the ice.
 And as always, Bo thinks she is the most beautiful.................
 Into the twilight...reflections from prism balls hung in the front window.,..
                                            I think cat feet are fascinating, coming and going.......

9-11 Moon

Today of all days.....this is an untouched photo of the  moon , taken long after sunset. Looks like the sky is on fire. Very hot days, must be a reflection of some sort.  What an odd weekend. First on Friday, there was the earthquake. A 6.4 earthquake, to be exact, located on the other side of Vancouver Island, off Tofino. I felt it, before it came. I remember having a sudden migraine and being very dizzy.....then all the huge potted flowers started to shimmy and sway. And a "wave" rolled from the top of the hill, under my feet and down . Walking was very difficult... in fact, there didn't seem to be a lot of walking, just a lot of swerving.....There was no damage until today...a shelf in the kitchen collapsed over head, and down crashed a ton of dishes. Shards  and pieces of china all over...... what a mess to clean up.
   And then today, being the 10th anniversary of 9-11...there is this big moon, looming in this very odd sky. It has been a wild and wooly weekend.....and the crickets are getting louder and louder each night. I wonder if they think they are being swallowed up by the moon....
