Mimi, ever hopeful, in her place by the hearth.
|
Puck wondering what mischief to get into next.
|
A kitty’s life can be SO HARD! But Freckles does his best to cope.
|
AWWWW! KC and Cadeau making nice!
|
AH! The comfort of the porch in spring! Skitter and KC are VERY HAPPY!
|
Clematis climbing the pergola
|
The blossoming dogwood just outside the kitchen window.
|
Aren’t chives lovely when they blossom!
|
Peony is such a lovely flower, isn’t it?
|
Can’t get enough of those peonies!
|
One that hasn’t quite opened yet.
|
On a peony roll here! There’s no such thing as too many of them though!
|
Iris is my husband’s favorite flower.
|
And so I just have to include irises in the pictures.
|
Therefore I’ve paid due homage to iris.
|
But in truth I prefer rhododendron.
|
Roses climbing the pergola
|
More roses climbing the pergola
|
Mother of thyme and some other flowers.
|
And now for some wildlife. Aren’t these lovely spiders?
|
GEES! I wish KC and Skitter could learn to get along!
|
Freckles LOVES watching Kitty TV!
|
Cadeau’s a STAR! (Or at least he’s on TV)
|
We should put books up there so Puck and Freckles could be bookends!
|
Her Miminess having a little snack
|
Creeping Veronica in bloom
|
So many blossoming trees...
|
Freckles hanging out in the cat condo
|
Skitter in a moment of indecision
|
Puck guarding the bay window in the kitchen. It’s a dirty job but SOMEBODY has to do it!
|
KC understands that sometimes you just have to hide your face!
|
Cadeau: I DIDN’T DO IT! I PROMISE!
|
Prepare yourself for an orgy of daffodils!
|
A bunch of flowering trees
|
AWWWWWWW! A box of Cadeau with his favorite holiday ornament!
|
Puck was posing beautifully for me but the MINUTE I whipped out the camera he turned his back and walked away! SHEESH!
|
Skitter and Freckles on the porch. As usual, you can hardly see Skitter for his buddy!
|
Her Miminess close to the hearth waiting PATIENTLY for me to start a fire!
|
Isn’t it a shame that Skitter and KC just can’t seem to get along?
|
OH YEAH! My beloved daffodils!
|
The ubiquitous daffodils!
|
Her Miminess is NOT in the mood!
|
Puck makes a grand entrance into my bedroom
|
Cadeau examining my friend’s shopping bag
|
Freckles chilling out on my bed.
|
It’s such a shame that Skitter and KC can’t seem to get along!
|
KC relaxes while Puck joins my cat collection
|
Cadeau's checking out the kitty salad
|
Her Miminess on her throne (my desk chair). Actually her real throne is my lap, but she uses the chair in a pinch.
|
Freckles chilling on the window seat.
|
KC and Skitter together again! (Yeah like anyone could keep 'em apart!)
|
Puck likes to make sure my CPU is working right.
|
On the other hand, Cadeau prefers to talk to Samantha Squirrel
|
Freckles waits his turn while Skitter gives KC a bath
|
Puck in front of the fire. And Mimi smack up against the screen. I swear, Mimi would climb INSIDE the fireplace if she could!
|
Same shot, different angle. You can see all the kitty stockings are hung by the chimney with care in hopes that catnip mousies soon will be there.
|
Our Yule tree. I made all the ornament.
|
Okay, okay, so Carlos Cardinal is not a furry creature. But he does come by for a snack sometimes. And the kitties LOVE to see him!
|
And here's Wally Woodpecker. He loves his suet!
|
And here are some pictures of our house and yard after an ice storm. Isn't winter beautiful?
|
This is why I don't use the magazine holder in my office for magazines
|
Sometimes Freckles actually poses for me
|
KC communing with Samantha Squirrel
|
Cadeau conversing with Samantha
|
Skitter, Freckles, and KC discussing what to do with the fruit
|
Cadeau and Mimi. This is why people seldom get to sit on a whole chair at our house.
|
KC helping me set up a new altar in my bedroom
|
Freckles is about to nudge KC from his position at the bar! Yeah he STILL has that little drinking problem.
|
And speaking of drinking, Puck LOVES green tea! So I always give him a little bowl of it. Keeps him out of my cup (usually)
|
Cadeau checking out my shopping bag. You never know what surprises could be hiding there!
|
Mimi hiding under my pillow.
|
Believe it or not, this blob is Skitter
|
Cadeau checking out the scenery
|
Sometimes Skitter likes to play dominos on my laptop.
|
Mimi's cranky because Freckles crowded her out from under the blankets
|
The sun on his belly! Oh life can be SO difficult sometimes!
|
KC daring me to make the bed.
|
For once Freckles pauses to pose for me!
|
Our friend Daisy Deer came by to visit and to munch on some flowers in our yard. This is taken through a window so we wouldn't startle her.
|
Okay so Sarah the snake isn’t a furry friend. But isn’t she lovely?

|
Cadeau chilling in the middle of the kitchen floor. Gotta keep up with all the happenings, after all!
|
Skitter under the dining room table. That's where he goes when he wants to be alone. (So of course I follow him there with my stupid camera!)
|
Puck lodging a complaint. There's no fire in the hearth.
|
Mimi and KC on my bed. This is why some days my bed just doesn't get made.
|
Freckles. Some days are just like that.
|
Cadeau is KING OF THE HILL! Or at least king of the cat condo.
|
KC Chilling by the window in the living room.
|
Skitter's on a mission. (My guess would be going for a snack.)
|
Puck likes to help me with my research.
|
There's always some smart alec who comes along and interrupts your nap with a camera!
Poor Freckles!
|
Mimi has made herself at home in my new office on my new office chair (her new favorite place)
|
Okay, so Charlotte isn't a furry friend. But she's a beautiful spider, don't you think?
|
The roses and clematis growing on the pergola
|
Another shot of the pergola with roses
|
Irises along the front walk with peonies in the middle
|
Puck trying on my desk in the new office and finding that it fits him just fine
|
There's Cadeau in the kitchen again!
|
KC in the kitty condo. I think he was watching Cadeau. You never know what offensive thing Cadeau's going to do
|
Having checked out the stereo equipment, Freckles is about to take a stroll across the mantle
|
Skitter and KC on the baker's island in the kitchen.
|
That lump under the comforter is Mimi. Below is a more photogenic picture of her.
|
Poor Mimi! She STILL can't make up her mind!
