Raining Cats and Dogs

I am beginning to think we need to build an ark. It has been raining for days! I think even weeks, I can't remember our last dry day. I love rain, it has kept our pollen count down for now. I know once it dries out our pollen will continue it has just been prolonged. The kitties are not liking the rain much though. When it is raining on the house hard they get a little freaked out. Needless to say when it is thundering they scatter and look for a place to hide. Well Minnie and Patches do Jewel is too old and doesn't care much and Piper is a feral cat and she is just happy not to be outside looking for a dry place. It has been a perfect time for naps when I am taking a nap the kitties are very happy to join me.

It's Here!

I spoke too soon! The kitties wait for me to open the windows but that horrible pine pollen started! Two days later I wake to a car that was gray which is now yellow. The windows are closed and the air is on!
The kitties will have to wait about two weeks, as will I! I love to have my windows open this time of year, beautiful temps with a nice breeze. But I have learned my lesson after the first year living in Georgia and having to wipe EVERYTHING down, not fun!
So sorry kitties!

80 Degrees!

It's at least 80 degrees here in beautiful Georgia today and the kitties are loving it! When I left for work this morning I had to remove cats from open windows in order to close them while I was gone. I felt really bad for them, they were loving it. I did leave a few open on the second level so they could still enjoy the day but we have four cats and I only opened two windows. Wonder who won?
They are happy I am home from work now, mommy opened the windows and I haven't seen them since.
I hope they have more time to have open windows before the are closed up again for the summer. Oh we will have two weeks coming soon where we will have to close them again because of the pollen (yellow snow as I like to call it) will be arriving soon enough!
Later!

Clingy Kitty

I got to have Mickey for the day and when ever my little tornado is around Minnie gets very weird, protective and clingy.
If I have Mickey in my lap Minnie will want to share it and it is as if she is trying to push Mickey off. When she doesn't win Minnie will go on the back of my chair as you can see in the picture and you can see the very top of my head.
Minnie thinks when she is up there I am suppose to reach up and pet her constantly and when I stop she starts patting my head with her paw to get my attention. (that is how she wakes me in the night too to pay attention to her and be all lovey to her but she pats my face or shoulder.)
Minnie was pretty happy that she has me back to herself now that Mickey has left the house.
That's my cat news for today!

My Helper

I have a long to do list and in between Dr visits I thought I might get them done. I have an order of bags to make....which I got done....THEN I really want to get a few things done for myself. This is the mystery project that I did at the quilt retreat and all I had to do was the quilting on it, got that done now I need to do the binding when Minnie decided she was going to help me once again...as a paper weight! She is a hefty paper weight let me tell ya.
I get really nervous cutting around her but she thinks it is fun to follow the scissors!
I love that my kitties have such an interest in my hobbies.

Piper Tested...Minnie Approved!

Awwww so is so sweet! Once again I was working on my quilt, I am hand quilting this one and put it down to get something to drink and Minnie cuddled right into it.

My kitties like to test all the quilts or anything that is soft that I am making or using.

And doesn't Minnie have the cutest putty tat face ever?

Where's Piper?

Where's Piper?

Today I felt like just watching movies and hand quilt on MY quilt. Every so often I would have to put it down and almost every time I did that I would find a little extra something something in my quilt.

This last time I put it down before dinner within seconds piper found her way into it once again.

She's so cute and loves HER new quilt!

The Cat's Back In!

I couldn't leave my old friend...I have been blogging on this blog since 2006? For a very good reason, I was having difficulties email my friends and updating them on what was going on in my life at the time due to arthritis. On my blog I could post what was going on in my life to everyone who wanted to keep up and if they had questions then I could do a quick short email back and it worked for a long time.

Recently I started another blog for another reason and that blog continues just as this one did in the past.

So instead of throwing this old friend aside I am re purposing it, let's see how it evolves I recently purchased a "purse" camera. I call it that because I have a really nice big camera that doesn't fit into my medium size purse and when I am out and about I may see something to take a picture of and don't carry around my big camera and not always happy with the camera on my Blackberry. Soooo recently I purchase a very thin small Nikon. Nikon is what we have been buying for the past three cameras and I feel comfortable with them. (call it lazy, I don't want to take the time to learn all about another brand)

I have been putting my new camera in the kitties faces trying out my new "purse" camera and they aren't going for it, except Minnie the other three are not posing or cooperating very well, that is why there are only a couple of pictures of Min on my new camera.

I know I will get them soon and so more will follow.
