Gardening Thursday

It's Thursday and like our friend Jonesie, we like to spend time in the garden (for more info on the Society of Feline Gardeners, please visit Cory Cat Blog) ...well, there aren't too many gardening days left now we think...we were, however, enjoying a nice, sunny day near the grapevines the other day...the grapes are nearly ripe, but because we had such a soggy summer they didn't get enough sun to turn nice and sweet and seem to be a bit on the sour side. Too bad, but they are pretty. Dad decided to dry them...maybe they will be tasty like that!

Over on the buddlaia bush on that warm day there were tons of butterflies getting drunk on the pretty flowers...they were so drunk that some of them even let Mom pick them up!! Aren't they pretty?

This time of the year the 'fusain' tree is blooming...it's pretty fushia pink and bright orange flowers are really cool. Nature sure knows how to make a great show!

The grass was super long in our upper garden so Tiny and I were playing hide-and-seek there...since then Dad cut the grass..he's just no fun. So what if there are ticks hiding out in the grass!!

Flying Things and Dreams of Flying

OK, normally today would be a gardening day with the Society of Feline Gardeners (SOFG), but as we had so much rain and lots of bean visits, Tiny and I weren't able to get out and do some gardening so we will have to share some other pictures with you.

Flying things (butterflies and moths)

I love to watch butterflies and I THINK I would like to catch them and feel them in my mouth, but Mom won't let me. Tiny said she did once - in secret - but that they aren't very tasty.

Then there is this guy...I guess being that he is a moth, he isn't interested in flowers...but hey dude, wood?

That's all I have from our garden, but here are some pictures Mom took recently while on one of her walks in our neighborhood (she wanted to show some of the bean visitors these mushroom-shaped rocks/cliffs that are in the forest). Tiny and I had to stay home.

Dreams of Flying

Maybe it was a good thing we had to stay home since these places look kinda scarey though I have to admit that these rocks could be an excellent place to see if I can fly...I bet if I could climb onto one of them and jump off I would be able to fly above the trees and with the birds and could maybe even go sit on a flower like the little butterflies above do!! Aw, c'mon! Don't laugh! I can't believe I'm the only cat who dreams of flying!

(Note from Mom: Sorry Lautrec honey, but I don't think you would fly...at least not like a bird or butterfly. Perhaps it is best if you only try flying in your dreams - it is waaaay safer there than anywhere else!)
