This week’s post is just me celebrating that the snow has melted and, hey, look, daffodils! I didn’t realize until I saw them, but apparently I’ve really missed daffodils, so… pictures! (Credit goes to Mom for taking the photos; I didn’t have my camera on hand.)
Alright, so for context, Mom and I were talking about one of Zuko’s toys, a red plastic pepper. “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,” Mom said (don’t ask me for context, I don’t have it), to which I responded, “So if we pickled the plastic pepper, would Peter Piper pick it?” Except why would you pickle the pepper before picking it? And so the following was born:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
But the peppers weren’t pickled when Peter Piper picked them.
Unless Peter Piper pickled the peppers on the plant…
In which case Peter Piper wasn’t a very practical pepper picker.
What’s this? It’s been over a month since I’ve posted cat photos? Well, I might as well post more then! You’ve already gotten “Apparently June is a pillow,” now get ready for “Zuko using everyone else as a pillow!”
And as a bonus, that second photo zoomed out to catch Arwen glaring at the camera.
The nurse offered me a hand… but it wasn’t his, and it definitely wasn’t attached to anything.
As a writer, I’m comfortably familiar with spontaneous writing prompts, or, in other words, “this random (and often absurd) sentence just popped into my head.” For the most part, though, these are comedic dialogue snippets, intriguing first lines, philosophical speculations…. you get the idea. My point being that there are certain literary genres my prompts don’t usually include, like horror. I don’t standardly write horror. Nor do I standardly read horror. And yet, during the general mind-wanderings of lunch, I seem to have accidentally produced some.
(Yes, I realize I just did an entire post about one sentence of nano fiction. No, I’m not sorry. Enjoy! Or, uh, speculate?)
Alright, for context, we have a bird feeder in the backyard that gets plenty of visitors, from birds to squirrels to raccoons to the resident woodchuck. Up until recently, though, we hadn’t really had a visitor knock over the bird feeder, let alone multiple times. We were understandably curious as to which critter was responsible… until one night, I wandered up to the window, and spooked a couple of deer.
They came back later, so I got a couple of pictures (nighttime quality, but pictures nonetheless).
As a bonus, here’s a picture from when Mom spotted them a couple mornings later! (Better lighting, blurrier movement.)
Yep, this post is dedicated to pictures of our largest cat and smallest cat napping together. Enjoy!
Exactly what it says on the tin. Time is meaningless and last weekend seems like both yesterday and a lifetime ago. So rather than scramble to draft something that surely deserves more time(?) and effort, I’m going to pull from the Great Archives of Cat Pictures for some convenient prepackaged, ready-to-go adorableness. Enjoy!
This week’s post features Zuko being adorable, because, well, Zuko is adorable, and I think while the “new year, new you” idea is well-intentioned, it can be a lot of pressure and lead to a lack of constancy as you try to fix all your problems at once. Sooo, here’s some pictures of Zuzu curling up with Diane and bothering Arwen to remind you that it’s ok if you’re not setting loads of new goals right now or making major life changes based on an arbitrary date — Zuko sure isn’t!
Yes, yes, I know, you’ve gotten a lot of cat photos lately. But this week had some incredibly adorable pictures. I mean, look at their wittle faces:
More impressive, though, are the next two pictures. For reference, June was by far the most opposed to our newest addition (Zuko), and, though they’re on pretty “just let me pretend you don’t exist” terms now, she’s still a bit of a holdout. Seeing them willingly interacting is pretty rare, and catching it on camera is even rarer. Hence why this week’s post is justified, because awwww.
What’s this? A deep, eloquent message about the value of patience? Well… no, not exactly. More cat photos! And yes, I know I posted some of those last week, but these were taken around the same time as the last two from that post, and I really don’t want to hold off on the cuteness of Diane being unbelievably patient with Zuko. You’ll see what I mean.
