Happy Birthday Grandma!!!

We would like to wish our grandma (kitty dad’s momma) a very Happy Birthday.  Perhaps we can have some extra treats to celebrate the big day.

First Monday

What do you mean the summer is half over? It just arrived. After celebrating the Fourth of July two days ago, some have made that declaration already. It’s only been a scant nine weeks since we had our last snow (albeit a rain-snow mix).

We had a semi-drippy end to May, a semi-drippy June, and July has started on the drippy side.  Summer is only getting started. A week of hot, hot days and warm overnights are in the forecast for this week.

 

The Millers

After a several year break from visiting, the Millers returned. For Egypt and The Musketeers, it was their first time meeting them. Being the accomodating hosts, they played many hunting games with them. And, the Millers, in return, proved to be worthy gamers. But, alas, the Millers had to continue their annual trek to the mountains to enjoy the wildflowers and cool, refreshing air.

 

Flock of Robins

With our summer weather being close to normal, we’ve had a good number of robins visiting our front porch for their share of kitty kibble and water.

Last week, the number of robins visiting the front porch probably reached an all-time high. We counted at least 14 or 15 different ones, mostly those born in late May or early June.

Needless to say, it’s made bird watching very easy and very enjoyable.

 That’s a nice piece of spam

A while back, this particular comment was caught in our spam filter: 

“I found lots of interesting information on fivecats.wordpress.com. The post was professionally written and I feel like the author has extensive knowledge in the subject. fivecats.wordpress.com keep it that way.”

The comment came from that widely popular website that uses every letter from the alphabet in its name. Whoever, or whichever spambot, generated the over-complimentary comment was hoping it would be approved. It wasn’t.

May everyone have a safe, Happy Fourth of July.

The shadows are a good place to take a break from the warmth of a summer’s day …

Meezer Wednesday: Morning Nap

The shelf may be a bit narrow, but it’s a good place for a short nap with lots of sun.
