Cat Portraits

I finished the cat portraits of Scout and Finn
with Ellie May's constant guidance.
She is so calming, such a dear!

While gathering my cat and dog prints for something special
I looked over at one of our beloved Polly (miss her so much)
and I noticed that the lace curtains had created a beautiful pattern on
the picture which blended in with the lace in the painting.

Joys of Spring

Some of the joys of spring on Friday...

the daffodils are out...

the sun sparkles like stars...

finding chipmunks in unexpected places!

Bliss

After a long winter, Polly has rediscovered her
sunny basket in a window D's workroom!
Comfort and bliss!

On A Snowy Day

On snowy days we watch the birds
and...

listen to the Lyre bird.

Sweetness

Ellie May and Polly were smiling!

A Cozy Corner on a Cold Night

Polly's snuggled in warm and cozy for the night!

Morning Tea

A sunny Sunday winter morning...
have a cup of tea with Polly!

While the Cat's Asleep...

While Polly was almost asleep,
these cute little mice would play...

Polly is very calm and tolerant...
so the geese gave it a try!

The Sun Returns...

Polly took advantage of the return of the sun
today with her companions!

Sweethearts

On a gray cold Sunday,
these darlings warm my heart!

Winter Comfort

With this cold weather, our cats find
comfy spots...

snuggled up with pretend friends...

or napping on the couch near the heater...

Everyone's Napping Except...

Sweet little Ellie May snuggled in on this overcast
drizzly day...

Polly looked so comfy with the
napping raccoon and dove...

while Brody was ready for action...
in waiting
for me to make a move up the stairs.

Our Furry Family This Week

although sometimes she falls asleep on the job!

Reunited

After being away, it sure is wonderful to be
reunited with my furry family!

Worries About Polly

This past week our cat Polly didn't seem quite like herself.
Her big appetite suddenly became smaller. At first it was subtle
but as the days went by it became very worrisome.
Didn't know what was wrong
or what to do til a friend stopped by
yesterday and gave us some helpful advice about what was
going on with Polly.
So today we took her to the Vet Clinic for she
had a fever and an abscess. Am so thankful we took her when
we did...she also has some other problems...
( We know the cause of her abscess infection...it was Brody!
We must always make sure they are kept apart for the safety
of Polly and our pocketbook)

Sorting

It's the time of year to sort through piles of
receipts, a very time consuming process.
It's nice having company for this tedious task!

Brody supervises...


Polly settles herself down right in the middle of it!


While Ellie May keeps me from escaping
by sitting on my lap.

What a team!

Do you have such diligent helpers?

Polly's Companion

Polly has a quiet companion to keep her
company on the couch.

Brody and Polly

copy cats...
