I am both childless and a cat lady.
.
.
It’s probably not a good idea to piss us off…
.
.
And if politics offend you?
How about this…
.
.
🤣
.
I’m just going to leave these right here…

Blooming things and a close squirrel call.
.
The hostas by our kitchen landing are having a good year.
.
.
A really good year. Tall and full of pale purple blooms.
.
.
.
The day lilies that were dug up by our neighbor’s tractor when our water line burst a few years ago have finally come back to life.
.
.
Half are yellow, half are this interesting double ruffle peach and coral.
.
.
Sadly these two by the road are full of weeds..
.
.
But the colors are spectacular.
.
.
.
In other news… His Lordship almost caught the dreaded red b*tch.
.
.
That rotten red rodent was sitting on the stone wall chattering at him, taunting him … swishing her tail and daring him to lunge.
So he did.
.
.
But sadly, he missed… and she disappeared into the wall.
Almost, Dudley.
Almost.
🥴
.
Interspecies communication takes patience.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten heard something in the woodchuck burrow .
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten investigated.
.
.
On the other end of the woodchuck burrow?
.
.
A woodchuck.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten switched sides and waited on that end.
.
.
Which meant a woodchuck popped up on the first side.
.
.
So His Lordship switched sides again and waited.
.
.
And finally, after Lord Dudley’s servant was tired of standing in the heat and about to drag him back in the house….
.
.
Interspecies communication.
Disclaimer – no woodchucks (or cats!) were harmed in the making of this blog.
😊
.
“But what do I do with it..?”
.
This is Lord Dudley Mountcatten surveying his domain.
.
.
Here’s Lord Dudley Mountcatten noticing an interloper in his domain.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten’s reaction was priceless.
.
.
After some closer inspection?
.
.
And a positive baby woodchuck identification…
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten was clueless.
.
.
And looked back at me as if to say, “What am I supposed to do with that?”
🤣
.
Miscellaneous nonsense.
.
A little bit of this, a whole lot of nothing important.
.
.
I feel you Biggie.
I really do.
.
.
I am woefully out of touch, as proved by this public service announcement from the University of Pittsburgh.
😳
.
.
Could there be anything more revolting?
.
.
Holy Hell.
That’s going to give me nightmares.
.
The one where His Lordship examines the progress.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten is not happy with the constant remodeling noise, but his curiosity gene is strong enough to warrant a quick exploration of the project when my husband takes a break.
.
.
Checking out the missing siding.
.
.
Walking balance beam.
.
.
Attacking a clamp.
.
.
And looking in the window he usually looks out are all on the menu.
.
.
As is using the new pea gravel for a litter box.
Though we probably won’t share that part with my husband.
😉
.
Teasing torture.
.
Oh, those damn birdies.
.
.
Every morning dozens of starlings gather on our bedroom roof, run back and forth, drink water out of the gutters and generally drive His Lordship crazy.
.
.
If only those pesky humans would open the door.
.
.
😉
.
Peonies are popping.
.
Peonies are the best.
.
.
There, I said it.
.
.
I’ll take a peony bouquet over roses any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
.
.
They’re full and vibrant and smell heaven sent.
.
.
We have two large bushes near our back deck and they never disappoint.
.
.
They’re too high for woodchuck bubblers.
.
.
For which I’m quite thankful.
.
.
His Lordship enjoys them as well.
.
.
Though that might just have been the sun.
😊
.
A feline coffee lover…
.
Every morning when my husband sits down, he has an audience.
.
.
He’s none too patiently watched as he drinks his first cup of coffee and feels the pressure to finish.
.
.
Because when there are only a few drops left?
.
.
It must be offered to His Lordship..
.
.
Who has developed an obsession with licking the cup.
.
.
Cats.
💕
.
More woodchuck deck antics.
.
Our little chucklets really love the back deck.
.
.
And when I hear them scrambling across it I have to sit back and watch.
.
.
It’s like their private playground.
.
.
Tag, hide and seek…
.
.
The grill cover is fun to duck under.
.
.
The railings?
.
.
A perfect back yard viewing platform.
.
.
Did I mention Lord Dudley Mountcatten enjoys watching them too?
.
.
Even when he has to duck under a blind to do it.
🤣

River's world.....
