Let Sleeping Cats Lie

Woke Spunk from a Dream
Looked at me with squinted eyes
Let sleeping cats lie

The Strawberry Moon at 98.9% full last night. It will be 99.9% full tonight, but it will rise after 10:00 PM.

Do you see the bees?

Pretty Petunias

After spending the long weekend cutting dead canes out of rose bushes and dead branches off of trees, cutting back the black bamboo, clearing out dried foliage from last year, and cleaning up the deck, we went out and bought various flowers in containers for the deck, which included hearty and speckled petunias.

7 @ 7:07

We had a cat 7 on the bed this morning. Having all seven cats on the bed at the same time is an extremely rare event. The cats from left to right: Glenda, Silver, Loki, Gwendolyn, Marble, Sasha, and Spunk.

I stayed in bed for an hour after I woke up. I wanted to let mostly sleeping cats lie. It was cold as hell inside and even colder outside when I got out of bed and checked the temperatures at 7:07 AM. It was probably a few degrees colder outside at 6:00 AM when I woke up. It was obviously cold enough that all the cats felt the need to be in bed with us.

The cloud looked a little fishy.

Gentlemen Stay Out

Contrails piercing clouds

Could not agree more
When it’s a women’s restroom
Gentlemen stay out

Celina took a photo of the signs on the door of a women’s restroom at a school in northern New Mexico and pinned it on a bulletin board at the office.
