Watching from window to window, curiously wondering if this is a new friend or just a passing fancy.

Busy birds, nesting, chirping, eating and flying quickly through.

We try to chat with them, but without success.  So, We enjoy the moment under the blue, cloudy or rain filled skies, wondering where their fancy wings take them, Pretty Birds.

A bit of humor for my readers to go along with my love post today. We have a robust squirrel population, like most of you out there.  And, generally when they chew on the freshly painted shutters, or the new growth on the trees they send your thoughts to other ideas verses cute and lets grab the camera.

Top Gun, with the wind and sun, 3 stories high.

However, we have had “no tail”, you can imagine his predicament.  And, this little guy, who is quite cute with his human characteristics.  I call him “Top Gun”, as he has a confident “air” about him.  Grace and Twilight have their own opinion and have enjoyed several lively conversations with this new kid in town. 🙂

Kitty love to start your morning. Grace kissing Hodge the cat, a bookend. she may be after his oyster!

“Give me six oysters, that is all; Hodge knows when he has had enough, Hodge is my cat.”

Samuel Johnson‘s love for his cat was unconditional and a beautiful story of how we become attached to our feline friends.  Thanks to my Mother’s gift, I am reminded of Hodge and his oysters in our library.  I think Grace may have a crush.

I'm much more quiet when I'm gardening!

Grace is our March cover kitty.  I have the pleasure of frequently taking her on tour at her home in the city and we spend hours talking.  This time, I asked her a few questions.

Grace, do you have a special garden technique you would like to share?

“Generally, I act like I’m gardening.  This photo shoot was especially fun since I’m sure there was a bug or lizard right there at my fingertips.  As I have mentioned, I am an outdoor girl”

Grace, How did you learn to walk on a lead?

“First, I spent a few weeks inside just trying the contraption on for fit, ease of movement, and balance.  I wanted to fall over since it seemed heavy, and run since it was giving me claustrophobia.  Of course, I bit the purple strap my person was holding on to, I thought it was a new game!   I finally got used to the lead and harness, so now outside City adventures are fun-filled time spent hunting, running, playing, and hanging out with Momma.  Maybe I’ll post my outdoor walking video, so you can see the fun for yourselves.”

Thank you Grace for the exercise.
