Poetic Thankful Thursday

Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

Today's photo prompt is

Wash Day

On the balcony, the clothes sway,

Colorful clothes in a bright array,

Hanging in disarray and not neat,

Drying slowly in the heat.

Today is also Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

Periwinkle and Stinky are THANKFUL for all their great pals and commentators!!

The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

Periwinkle waited by the Teleportation Tunnel for the arrival of her handsome fiancé, Stinky. She didn't have to wait long (he was very punctual), and the familiar WOOSH and rumble sent him right to her waiting paws. They both giggled because Stinky arrived wearing his sombrero from a previous Adventure on Cinco de Mayo.

"I know it was yesterday, but I don't get much opportunity to wear my sombrero," he said. Periwinkle told him he looked very handsome and that red was a great color for him. The spent a couple of minutes reminiscing about that Adventure and the fun they had. Periwinkle said how much she enjoyed listening to the band

Stinky agreed, and they both laughed when they remembered the giant piñata!

Periwinkle continued, "We also missed Star Wars Day. We had lots of fun with R2D2 and c3po!"

Stinky asked, "This is fun, but what are we doing today?" Periwinkle replied, "Mother's Day is Sunday, so I thought we would show our friends some items they could get their Moms on short notice in case they forgot. We're also going to make cards for our Moms." Stinky thought that was a good plan! Periwinkle said they should shop on Amazon since there wasn't much time. "I started a list, and I hope Mom doesn't look at her cart because I put a ton of stuff in it as possibilities," she said. She also added that she picked items with different price points so anykitty could purchase.

First, she showed him cool cat-shaped ice cube trays. They both thought they were adorable. Click HERE to see them.

Knowing most of their furriends don't have much money, they found these cute notepads for fewer green papers. Click HERE for the notepads.

"This is a nice gift. I agree with the VET part but know they take us because they care" said Stinky. Click HERE for the link.

The tabbies found a couple of others they thought were nice.

Tote Bags

Cat Mom Pillow

Wine Glass

After searching for gift ideas, they decided to make cards for their Moms. Since they had fun with AI the previous week, they made their cards with AI. Stinky made his with Dall-E...

Periwinkle used Pizap.

As with their other attempts at AI, neither cat looked like them, but they decided the cards were cute so they kept them for their Moms. "I wonder if any of our friends have a free AI program they love?" asked Stinky. Periwinkle wondered too and hopes that, if you have a program you like, please leave it in the comments.

They spent some time whisker kissing and paw patting and took a quick nap in a sun puddle. Stinky visited with Periwinkle's Mom and fursibs and, with one last whisker kiss and a WOOSH, he headed home. Periwinkle returned to their napping spot and curled up to dream of her handsome ManCat.

Monday Sparks

Even though McGuffy's reader is taking a break, we continue our Monday Sparks posts!

Welcome to Sparks. Many years ago, it was my intent to post an inspirational thought each Monday. It would be my weekly meditation, and perhaps feed other people's spirit as well. Life got busy, and this fell by the wayside. Now, I feel a strong need to bring this feature back.
The negative energy in the world has become thick and oppressive. Social media has become a part of this dark, negative storm. There is an obvious universal need for more positive energy and peace. And, we can all be part of this affirmative change.
I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!
I hope you will join us. Please link up a positive quote, thought, poem, or verse. The badge and code can be found in my sidebar. Add the badge to your post to invite others. The more, the merrier. I welcome your thoughts. Peace.

We also want to wish our friends a Happy Cinco de Mayo!!

Sunday Selfies

Did you know that squirrels don't like safflower seed? Obviously, nobody told this guy. He was even cheeky enough to take a Selfie while eating ours!!
