Hi, tulips

Sunny but cold 

I forgot to bring the tulips inside last night. Happy they survived!

Somebody doesn't like it when I leave the house to take his "big brother" to catch the bus. 
I get that look when I return.

Sunny bunny and friend

Linus doesn't seem to mind sharing the sunny window.


I'm on a roll lately posting about my daily life. Domesticity can be fascinating, don't you think?

Don't answer that!

Sunny mornings at our house...

look like this.

My (almost) constant companion strikes a pose in the sunshine.    =^. .^=

It's a jungle out there, Linus

 

... and that's why we keep you inside with us.

Shadow Shot Sunday ~ sunny glow on Linus

The setting sun gave a lovely warm glow to our feline friend, Linus, and I had to take a photo or two of the shadows.
See lots more shadowy photos at Shadow Shot Sunday 2.

Brrr....but it is January, after all

I'm not going to complain that it's 6 degrees here this morning.

Nope. Not me. 

That's because I always complain about the heat and humidity in the summer, and I don't want to be a two-season complainer. 

Soon it will be time to layer up for the day.

At least the sun is shining. And the furnace works fine. And we have lots of blankets and throws.
And our Linus kitty is always available to pet, which helps to warm up my semi-frozen fingers and hands.  =^.^=

In other news, my Christmas cactus started to bloom! Let's hope Linus doesn't eat the blossoms. 

So I already broke a resolution

Not good.
I actually broke several. I resolved to post every day, get organized, read more books, and more.

Yesterday wasn't the day for any of the above.

Who came up with this (silly) resolution stuff anyhow? I know it wasn't kitty cats.

When I stress about anything all I have to do is turn around and peek at Linus. Pet therapy is the best.

 

Shadow Shot Sunday

"Hey! Can't a cat get any privacy around here? I was trying to sleep." 

Not to worry, Linus forgave me. 

He knows who takes care of his every need.  =^. .^=

Join the fun each week and see lots more shadowy photos at Hey Harriet, hosted by our awesome Aussie friend Tracy.

Radiation: Day 1

That was easy.

Bonus points: So what is that white thing above the Easy Button next to the mouse?

Answer: Linus' paw. That was easy.

Don't let the cat out of the bag

I turned around a few minutes ago when I was working and this is what I saw: Linus checking out a bag that our new printer was packed in.
We think he likes it.

Shadow Shot Sunday ~ my pal

Linus enjoying the morning sunshine today...
I was going to use a lighthouse photo for Shadow Shot Sunday but when I got up this morning I found our Linus "posing" for a shadow photo.

I'll save the lighthouse for a future post. ;-)

Join the fun and see lots more shadows from across the globe at our awesome Aussie friend Tracy's fun photo meme on her Hey Harriet blog.

Shadow Shot Sunday ~ bloomin'

"I'm not going to eat the blossoms, Mommy, really!"

Linus appears to be happy that the Christmas cactus finally bloomed this week.

Wrong season, but it's pretty.

See lots more shadowy shots at our awesome Aussie friend Tracy's Hey Harriet blog each week. And happy shadow seeking!

Angels and cats (one and the same?)

You be the judge!

Our Linus seems interested in this frame featuring the face of his feline predecessor, Humphrey, while my guardian angel watches from above.

Rich, an artist friend in Derby, Ct. created the beautiful angel, and I recently blogged about her here.

You can read about Rich DiCarlo, who is known for sculpting and painting bricks, here.

Ruby Tuesday ~ comfy cat

I'm attempting to return to the blogosphere...and since I hadn't done a Ruby Tuesday post since Dec. 28 I thought it was about time I did!

I miss doing photo memes, but life does get in the way of blogging, as they say.

Here you see our favorite feline, Linus, doing what cats do best: nothing. =^.^=

See lots more photos featuring a little or a lot of red each week at Mary T's Work of the Poet.

P.S. I realize it's the end of February..I just don't know how to get my vintage Christmas blog background to go away. I've tried. Any ideas?

Love ya Linus

There's nothing like being dissed by your kitty cat first thing in the morning. After he spent the night on the bed with us (per usual) now Linus won't even look at me.

So I'm giving him his space.

Thursday afternoon at our house

Linus jumped out from under this tunnel plaything right after I took the photo. He uses his imagination and amuses himself....when he's not napping, that is.

Soon he will be ready for preschool, don't you think?

Sepia scenes ~ bear with me

I took this picture in West Hartford, Ct. and was thinking of using it for Thursday's Yard Art meme. But it came out well in sepia, so here it is.

The bear was on the lawn in front of an art gallery where our blog friend Linda had a photograph on exhibit in April. Ralph and I went to the reception and you can read about our afternoon here.

This was the scene in front of me moments ago as I was writing this post. Somebody wants his supper. He is making little squeaky noises at me.

See many more sepiafied photos at Mary T's Sepia Scenes.

Another day, another cat nap

Gotta put that tail somewhere!

I guess I should wash his bed. Lots of shedding going on.

Shadow Shot Sunday

Some sunny Spring Saturday shots from our house to yours.

I just plopped these tulips here to get a shadow in the morning sun.

Go see lots of shadowy photos over at Hey Harriet. Thanks as always go to Tracy for hosting this fun meme.

Linus and me

Somebody likes to stay close to his mama when she's working.
