Big Foot In The Rain

Eye’s are on you

We went to Trier, Germany, in the rain today. Trier was one of five official Roman residences in the 3rd and 4th centurys, and it was the home of Karl Marx.

Reminded me of Inchy in his younger days.

Tunnels under the baths were used for maintaining the hot water for the baths.

We staoped by the Karl Marx Museum

Hour glasses showing how much time Marx spent in different cities. He lived longest in London and then Trier.

Dawn

I’m flying to Germany tomorrow. Spunk helped me pack.

“What do you mean I can’t go?”

Beaver

A beaver swam in the shallows, while cranes were taking a break on their way north.

Beaver stopped in front of us to get a snack. He paid no attention to us.

The New Dawn

6:00 am is twilight again

The new dawn

Spunk lost his tail for a few days. I finally found it. It had fallen under the steps into the library. He took it to bed for a nap not long after I put it back into his toy box.

A cat 7 was on the bed when Jake and I got back from our morning walk

On the Wrong Foot

Interesting result

Jake tried to get me up at our normal walk time, which with the time change was 5:00 a.m. I told him to go back to bed. He had to wait until the afternoon to go on a walk because I had a lot to do in the morning and early afternoon. The afternoon was beautiful. We got in a three-mile walk. Surprisingly, we only saw a couple walking their dog and two cyclists for being such a beautiful afternoon. 

Silver, Glenda and Sasha stayed in bed longer than Spunk, Marble and I did. Spunk and Marble would have stayed in bed if I hadn’t gotten up.

I saw this Shelby Cobra on the way home from the store this morning. I can’t tell if it’s authentic, but it’s a great-looking car.

Spunk thinking about life, the universe, and everything after we got out of bed this morning.

Jake was seeing if the perpetual sneaker on the coyote that only coyotes, Jake, and I seem to walk on, would fit his right paw. He discovered that he got it on the wrong foot.

Almost got goosed by a couple of geese doing a close fly-by!

“What’s the password, Paparazzo? Sorry! ‘What? I don’t need no stinking password!’ is not the password. Ya wanna try again?”

Another Time Change

With the change to daylight saving time imminent, here’s my annual DST protest song.

Another Time Change
By Timothy Price

[Verse 1]
Time’s a changing, once again
Daylight saved is an hour lost
Wake in darkness, feels like night
Here we are way past our bedtime

[Chorus]
Another year, another change
It’s Deja vu all over again
Awake at night, nodding off all day
There has to be a better way

[Bridge]
Our morning walk was getting light
Now we’re plunged back into night
Sun sets later, I won’t complain
I should be in bed it’s late again

[Chorus]
Another year, another change
It’s Deja vu all over again
Awake at night, nodding off all day
There has to be a better way

[Outro]
Time’s a changing, once again
Daylight saved is an hour lost
Wake in darkness, feels like night
Here we are way past our bedtime

At least we are getting some blooming blossoms!

Uppity Kitty

Worm Moon at Dawn

Cranes flying up north from down south are passing through.

“What’s this uppity women from the Middle Ages stuff? What about uppity middle-aged cats from the here and now? I’m going to go medieval on that paper!”

Sunset

Beaver in the pink

Cranes that flew from down south, on the way north, roosting at 4th of July Point for the night.

Bloody Worm Moon Setting

Clouds tried to hold onto the Bloody Worm Moon

But it slipped through the clouds

Dawn

Cloud skullduggery

The river is down. The cranes are out!

Silver

Sunset

What’s the mystery shot of?

Where cranes once foraged
A lone duck stood reflecting in the shallows
Silence pushed against the current
Winter yawned while preparing her bed
Spring stirred under leafy covers
Dreaming colors that wait her awakening
