See this star fruit tree? It's Jan. 2, 2021.. Back in the summer we had a hurricane come through here, northeast of us with the eye only 40 miles away. The winds blew off all the fruit that had set, as

You wake up in the morning, feeling pleased with yourself... You stretch and wonder just what you should do today.. hmmm. Do you settle for what you completed yesterday and the day before and the day before

Ernie's full name is Ernest Hemingway, he was named for the author famous for his love of polydactyl cats... Ernie scrunches down when you try to stroke his back as he is walking by... but he has no qualms

I have been singing most of my life.. In the 60s, I was part of a folk group (who wasn't), but I lost my soprano range during an especially bad sore throat that I tried to sing through... Five years later,

#IAmAliveChallenge "Chachalaca sitting in an old orange tree" doesn't exactly have the swing of "kookaburra sitting in an old gum tree" but it was an interesting sight in the rain through

#IAmAliveChallenge Since there are apparently are ankle-high signs around the neighborhood pointing to my house "Cat Lady Lives Here", I was not too excited to see my clowder of cats showing

#IAmAliveChallenge I know many people who live alone say their biggest challenge is loneliness. For me, I can truthfully say, I am alone but not lonely. For one, I have my four-legged roommates... one

#IAmAliveChallenge Vertical and breathing is always a good thing... although sometimes I wonder if there isn't more we could be doing to improve our health! Shelter-in-Place was just lifted for our state

There was no room in the hammock with Maisie and Callie, so Bessie decided to use Willie as her personal "bean bag"

Ernie isn't ashamed to show off his "abbreviated" privates on a hot day.... Gotta let the fan cool it all off.... Apparently he wears black shorts and vest with white socks...

Maisie has the cutest little "meh meh" instead of a meow... very feminine and petite... Somehow, I don't think Ernie wants me to brush my teeth in THIS sink.... When the weather gets chilly,

Who can say for certain that what you did last week or do today can have far-reaching effects... a "pay it forward" so to speak.... Umpteen years ago, I joined the "old" CTP and through

I had trouble finding room on my desk while Callie and Teddy did a head-to-tail position, looking for all the world like a panorama pix of a cat... shortly thereafter, Callie snuggled up to Teddy in this

Another life lesson... brought to you by way of a mistake... Now, last night, I had planned on making tacos... but somehow forgot to take the hamburger OUT of the freezer... Ok, back to square one, or

I put a square of paper towel under the cats' dinner plates, and Mr. Joey is patiently waiting.... fixating on the counter where the filled plate awaits. Plate down and the first three, clockwise, Sassy,

Callie and Ernie were using each other's butt as a pillow, creates a unique Ying Yang symbol, and gently snoring their contentment...

We have one star fruit almost ready to pick, three newer ones on the same branch and another crop of flowers getting ready to grow some more...

No sure what Ernie's blep is all about... could it be because his heavier sister, Callie, is squooshing him into the hammock?

So you wake up and realize you are clinging to the edge of the bed and can't even find your body pillow! "Couldn't y'all find a spot of sunlight to lie in????" I had to roust the horde to even

Thoughts of a cat watching her human during the morning "toilette"... 1.. poor thing, no wonder she only had two children... 2.. she keeps changing her fur... if she goes missing, how can I tell
