Princess...

We have a white cat.  Or, more correctly, a white cat lives at our house. Her name is Princess.  We got her when she was a kitten, about nine years ago, but she has never been tame enough to pet.  However, this is her home and we feed her.  She'll come hang out with me when I am in the garden, but she won't let us touch her.  Here she is, taking a nap on the deck with my blue pots and yellow Johnnies.

(The "etching" that you in the glass of the sliding glass doors is actually white paint, stenciled on so the birds that I feed right outside don't fly into the glass.)

 
Have a beautiful day!

Kitties on the rail...

This is how Clover sits on the deck railing!




Tiger came to visit her.




 Switching postures.

Just hangin' out.

Awww.



Have a beautiful day!

Clover...

Nope.  This post isn't about red clover or white clover.  Not the weed, clover, nor the cover crop, clover.  This post is about our kitty, Clover.  She is a little over a year old now.

 

My co-worker got her from a lady who rescued her.  When Clover got to be too much for the apartment she lived in, she came to live with us.   She was almost six months old.

 Obviously, she has adjusted very well to living outside in the pretty-much country.

She is a very cute kitty and is always doing amusing things.

Like sitting in a birdbath that I hope to one day make into a fountain.

Aren't her blue eyes pretty?

Have a beautiful day!

Creatures...

O.K., so more than just plants live in my garden. There are PLENTY of creatures out there, too. I like the Praying Mantises because they eat some of the other bugs I'd really rather not have around.




The Mantises seem to like people. This one lives on the porch and it will jump after us sometimes when we go in the door.




Julie took these pictures of him on the storm door.



Today I found this moth on the porch. I sure do hope the Mantis dude doesn't find it! It's too amazing to be lunch.



And Luca likes the porch as well. He's a very sweet kitty and came to visit Julie while she was taking pictures of the Mantis yesterday, so she took a picture of him, too. The porch seems to be a pretty popular place, huh?




There is a creature in this picture, too. Can you find it? I started to dump the water in the tub a few weeks back because it had been there for awhile, but as I started to empty it, I discovered some almost-mature tadpoles so I refilled the tub.




Even though I have heard the frog croaking and have heard it splash as it jumps back into the tub, I haven't seen it. Well, until yesterday, that is. And, using the zoom on my camera, I was able to get a picture of the big guy. He hides well, doesn't he?


Have a beautiful day!
