Feline Friday October 16, 2020


Last month we visited our good friends
down near Mt Shasta CA.  
Here is "Sister" above and her brother
"Mister" below! They just showed up
a few years ago as little kittens
and obviously knew a good place to be! 



And even tho' he  is not a feline we could
not leave out "Toby" a darling Cairn Terrier!
He lives not too far from Mister and Sister
with more good friends!!


Have a lovely Feline Friday!
Thanks Sandee!

watched me for the longest time.

Six Words and Shadow Shot Sunday June 18-19, 2016

Lots of rain and snow this week!
 
 
Usually by now our wildflowers have to be tough to survive in this hard scrabble and rocky dirt. Even the weeds !
 
 
 
Not sure what the yellow flower above is, but
the flower below is Indian Paintbrush.
 

 
 
 
 
Meanwhile, Mt Shasta has fresh snow and the sage
in my herb planter box is very happy. 
 

 
 
Supposedly by tomorrow the temperatures will
rise into the 80's....so I'll enjoy the cooler weather today!
Have a great weekend and for all you Dads out there:
Happy Father's Day!
and...Happy Birthday to my son Paul!!!
