cat – New England's Narrow Road

So There. Good-Bye

Yes, I am out of things to write about. This blog is getting boring for me. I haven’t been out to get photos and the ones I did get are still in the camera.

This picture of my cat, Skittle, shows her sleeping up on the bookcase with her tongue hanging out. I see her doing this all the time. She will sit on the desk with her tongue out and of course my camera is no where around, but this time I found it and got a good picture.

It’s how I feel. Where is the incentive to write when this blog gets so view visits. It’s no wonder, but when is the time to say “enough!”
I think it has come.

People want to read about interesting and exciting things and no such thing happens in my life.
I am at the point in my work where I am too busy to write bland posts about nothing. My time is better spent designing and writing about what I sell. And I have plenty of places to do that.
This blog has no use, so it’s time to say good bye.

Maybe, God willing, I will one day have a life to write about. But unless that day comes, I will not be wasting your time or mine.

My Kitty and The Birdbath

Skittle is my water-loving cat. She has decided that she must drink out of the birdbath each time she goes out front and especially if I am out there and spraying water to fill it.

She has a bowl of clean water right inside the garage, which I leave open a bit all day for the cats to hide from dogs if they have to, but this is more fun I suppose.

She also drinks from the hose if I have it turned on low to deep-water the shrubs, and inside the house she drinks from the sink. She is one of those needy cats who wants attention all the time and she goes in and out all day long.

I used to leave the back screen open just a bit for her until she decided that bringing a chipmunk into the house would be fun. After spending most of one day shooing it outside, I can’t do that any more.

Eventually she pulled the top of the birdbath over and it broke. That thing was heavy and could have hurt her, so she was lucky.

Sharing My Photos of Winter White

Short and sweet post today to show off my favorite snow, white, and winter pictures.

I took these myself over the past years and they were all taken at different addresses, back when I lived like a nomad. I’m so glad those days are over, but it gave me the opportunity to check out parts of the state I would not have ever known so well. Some I am glad to be away from, and others I miss.

And I miss my cat, Richie. That picture was taken at my last rental on the back porch. I couldn’t believe the cat stayed outside while the snow covered him, but he was a hunter and couldn’t tear himself away. It made a cool photo.

Our Living Christmas Ornament – Bad Kitty

Cat in the Christmas Tree — A Living Christmas Decoration

Our black cat, Skittle, ignored the Christmas tree while we were putting it up and hanging the decorations, but the next morning when I sat down to work at the computer which is in the same room as the tree, she began to climb up through the middle of it.

I sat watching it shake and dislodge some of the ornaments and the string of lights and all I could do was laugh. We knew she would climb it – and she did not disappoint. So now I am taking all the breakable ornaments off because when she jumps out -she doesn’t climb back down – she takes ornaments with her.

This is Skittle’s first Christmas with us and we suspected she’d want to climb the tree since she loves to be up high. It’s one of the reasons I don’t want her to go outside. All those trees to climb – and get stuck in!

Do you have your tree up? Any living ornaments on yours?
