I was doing some paperwork at my desk the other day so of course His Lordship had to join me. After booting him off the desk three times he decided to jump on the printer and cause trouble.
.
.
He’s good at that, but looks oh so innocent.
.
.
Needless to say everything up there was knocked to the floor before long.
.
.
Cats.
😊
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten has been tentatively exploring the new arrivals in the den.
.
.
And looks at me like, what gives?
.
.
Each piece must be thoroughly tested…
.
.
And if this face doesn’t scream displeasure I’ll eat my hat.
.
.
Complaints are loud and frequent.
.
.
After a few days, His Lordship has given his approval to one piece and one piece only…
.
.
The ottoman can stay.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten spotted the red menace on his walk the other day and ran at full speed into the woodshed.
.
.
He climbed up the wood and searched…
.
.
But didn’t come close to catching her.
.
.
He’s just not fast enough for that troublesome witch.
.
.
🥺
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten was fascinated by something on the front porch the other day.
.
.
Upon further investigation….
.
.
I discovered a Polyphemus caterpillar on a section of our stone siding.
.
.
Strange creatures indeed.
.
.
The close up photos are reminiscent of a Hollywood space alien.
.
.
How cool is that!
It would be nice if he sticks around after his metamorphosis…
.
.
With a six inch wingspan, he’ll be quite impressive.
😊
.
.
The neighbor’s horses are sporting some new footwear.
.
.
And while I know they wear eye protection to give relief from flies…
.
.
The sexy boots are new.
.
.
If ever there was a way to waste perfectly good wine, this is it.
.
.
You have to love a Maine town hall that embraces rubber duckies.
.
.
I don’t drink coffee, but this almost makes we want to start.
.
.
His Lordship has discovered and claimed the bottom shelf of the new coffee table.
It was only a matter of time.
😊
.
.
Yes, Virginia… there is such a thing as too much weed.
.
.
Or in Lord Dudley Mountcatten’s case…
.
.
Catnip.
When under the influence, His Lordship is known for doing some seriously stoned yoga.
.
.
And when he’s had enough exercise?
.
.
This.
😊
.
.
Our Coopers Hawk returned yesterday and hung out for almost an hour, which is quite unusual.
.
.
His Lordship was fascinated and kept a close eye on the visitor this time.
.
.
I’m not sure what held this beautiful guy’s attention for so long… but I’m not complaining.
.
.
I enjoyed watching him almost as much as Dudley.
.
.
💕
.
.
I spied someone on the deck railing recently, and as you can see… the royal feline was clueless.
.
.
The someone was a juvenile Coopers Hawk.
.
.
There’s good hunting under our bird feeders and this beauty was seriously interested.
.
.
After ten minutes of me taking pictures and saying hey, there’s a big bird outside…
.
.
His Lordship caught on.
.
.
Hullo gawgeous!
.
.
Raptors are fascinating creatures.
.
.
And seeing one this close is a special experience.
❤️
.
.
My third and final easy to assemble coffee table arrived yesterday.
.
.
With what seemed like 50 cubic yards of styrofoam snow.
.
.
Seriously, the stuff flew everywhere and has been nearly impossible to eradicate.
.
.
I was sweeping and vacuuming like mad trying to keep ahead of it.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten was inconvenienced…
.
.
And did not appreciate his favorite perch being turned upside down.
.
.
Legs, shelf and trim pieces attached during a Red Sox game …
.
.
And viola.
.
.
Another Mission style table completes the set.
.
.
😊
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten enjoys licking the cream residue from my husband’s morning coffee and makes no secret of this fact.
.
.
From the moment my spouse pours his first cup, he has a captive audience.
.
.
Since His Lordship doesn’t want the actual coffee, my husband has to drink the first cup more rapidly than he’d like.
.
.
And is stared down with anticipation during the process.
.
.
Cats.
They want what they want.

River's world.....
