Groundhog Monday

 
Julie: I had a nice time  sitting on the porch
this weekend. The nice time about this time
of year is that it is getting warmer. I like that!


The groundhog is out and about more often. 
I guess the grass is pretty tasty in the Spring.


They are quite nervous but they are happy
as they are in a quiet area. This one can eat in peace.
Mum is hoping to see babies soon and
I must admit...so am I!

Good spots for taking pictures!


Julie: I like to help mum do my blog.
She complains that I sometimes get in the way!
Can you imagine?!!!
I need to  be sure she is doing it properly.

 
I also have this nice spot where I go to get
a nice nap or  a good brushing.
Getting brushed  really feels good!
Do you like getting brushed?


Sunshine on panther furs feels SO good!
I often lay here or in the kitchen window.
The kitchen window is better as it is in the kitchen(mol)
and the views are better.


 This is one of my views. 
A groundhog. About this time of year we will often
see groundhog babies. None so far, but they have been out
more often lately so  we might  get do see
littles ones. They are timid critters so
mum has to be sneaky to get any pics.
Usually I see ducks.


 If we see any other cool critters we will  try to get a picture.
If not, there will always be ME !
MOL!!

Window views and Critters!


Julie: Hi friends and happy Monday!
I had a pretty good weekend with mum.
We had some pretty good weather too.
It was sunny, overcast, drizzly ,cool and warmish.
I went out briefly but did not stay  as there is no grass yet.

When the sun is out this window is a great place to sit. 
                                               It is so nice to sit  in the sunny window and feel those
                                               warm sunbeams on my black furs!
 

Mum was happy to see this groundhog.
We wonder if this one is a female as it would be fun
 to see babies. We have not seen baby groundhogs
for a few years.


 We do like to see critters in the yard!

Cats and Critters #2


Julie: I have some windows that have a wide
windowsill that I like to sit on .
I also have a yard that is friendly to other critters.
Here we see Mr and Mrs Duck and in the background
is...a groundhog!


Here he /she is in another part of the yard.
Still munching as you can see.


I am  in the windowsill that looks out on the porch.
This is the front of the little home.
The birds and other critters come to the feeders 
in the front yard.


This is the kitchen view. From here I can see the ducks.
The birdfeeders can be seen from here.
Great viewing I say!
Also good for dining. 


In the back we have a deck and a lot of trees.
No grassy backyard, just trees.
I would love to chase this squirrel, but mum won't
let me out! That's probably why he is so calm.


I think it would be FUN to chase him.
Sadly, mum does not agree!
Oh well, that won't stop me from having, a
FUN weekend!!!
I hope you do too!!!!!

Lazy Days of Summer



Georgia: Hi friends. I'm having a nice relaxing day.
It is pretty hot today and mum is going to visit
her sister . She just moved here from Ontario and her 
quarantine is over. Mum says it is nice having all the siblings
living in the same province again.
They will be having a BBQ and they will be HOT!!
Mum's sister lives in the valley and we live close to Halifax.
I will be very comfy here.


Julie: What do you mean you're leaving me?!!!!!!!
You need to be here to give me belly rubs!!
I don't like being abandoned!!!!.

Mum: Oh Julie! The drama!
It will be like me going to work.
I'll be back later tonight.

Julie: Thank goodness!
Guess I won't starve either!!

(Mum quietly: As if!!)



Groundhog: Gee, I like when the lady goes away for the day.
 I can enjoy some peace and quiet and eat lots of greens.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! nom-nom-nom!

Monday Musings



Georgia:Sometimes I like to wander around the house.
 Mum thinks  I sleep too much. Hey, I'm a cat!
It's what we do. Besides, she is not home all day.



Mum, if you have anything tasty I may decide to eat it.
I promise I will at least consider eating it.
Mum thinks I am too skinny.
We try.


Julie: Unlike Georgia I love food!


Mum, what do you mean by "that's an understatement"?


Baby Groundhog: Gee!! I get the feeling some is watching me!


The fuzzy at the bottom is window frame.
These critters are super nervous.

Happy Friday !




Georgia: I like drinking water. Mum says it's
good for me. I just think it tastes good.


Now that I'm refreshed, I am going to relax.
Mum, if you want, you can brush me. You know
I love that!!!


One of the little groundhogs was enjoying the sunshine.
 They really enjoy all the greenery around.
No shortage of food for the groundhog family.


A study in light and dark.


Yes Julie, it IS something you do well!


Happy Friday friends!
We purr you all have FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday Thoughts




Julie: Sometimes when I want a comfy nap I get in this
fuzzy cozy bed. I really like it and sleep here often.



Georgia: I like this bright blankie. It is soft.
It is pretty good for naps and sometimes
I like to sleep under it. Mum says
I'm a burrower. I just like to be cozy!


The  Groundhog is still around.
This was after supper. Guess he wanted a snack
before  going  settling in for the night.


We purr you all have a FUN weekend.
We are getting warm weather though it will rain 
Saturday.
We don't mind as we are indoors.

Happy Monday



Georgia: Happy Monday friends.
Mum was busy this weekend doing other things
and picture taking was low on her list.
Can you believe that?!!
She did quickly snap this picture of me.
Mum, you need to focus!


Julie:
I was just getting ready for a nap.
OK mum, you can go away now.


Mum did manage to see Mr Groundhog this weekend.


He looks like he is posing, but mum was indoors.


He thinks he is being stalked and is calling mum 
out  on it!
Our groundhog is nervous so mum has to
be sneaky in getting the pics. MOL!

Happy Monday from Georgia and Julie!





Georgia: Happy Monday friends! How are you doing?
We are still hanging out and having fun with mum!
WE like that a lot too.


Julie: I must admit, I do agree with Georgia.
That does not happen all the time.


We have been enjoying Window TV.
These pretty finches were enjoying some seeds.
Usually the squirrels are there . They tend
to hog it a lot!


Mr Groundhog tends to visit  a lot.Here he is  on 
a sunny day.


Here is is on an overcast day.
He seems to like our yard.

Happy Friday!



Georgia: I love having mum home a lot.
I get brushings that I love and scritches too.
It's fun to get them on demand.


Mum has seen Mr Groundhog in the yard.
He is super nervous so mum can only take
his picture in stealth mode.
He was enticed by some seed that mum put out.


Mum spent some of the day attacking these super 
thorny branches. She needs to get rid of them 
before they bloom and the leaves come out.
Spring is the best time for yard work.


Julie: I need to wash my face so you all can see 
how lovely I am.


I wouldn't want to greet you with a dirty face!


We purr you all have a Happy Friday!!
Make sure to wash your paws and have
FUN !!!!!!!!!!!

Georgia and Julie Checking In


Georgia: Hi friends!! Thought it was about time to check in.
We have been enjoying having mum home all the time.
She has been amusing herself  with cleaning and 
dispensing scritches and belly rubs.
We kinda like having her around


Julie: I know I love having mum around.
As you can see, I have a great place for fining too.


What? I never said I was a neat eater!
Besides, I have some great Critter TV  to enjoy.


See? The groundhog came by to see what was for eating.
He was there a while, so ne must have found something.


Guess what else we saw? Deer!!!
These pictures were taken on April Fool's Day.
We got fooled with some snow!
Thank goodness it's all gone now.

These pictures are not great because mum had to 
be in super stealth mode.These 3 young ones were 
pretty skittish even though mum was indoors.
Well, that and the dirty windows.


They look nice, but they are way bigger than me!


Kinda glad to be an indoor cat.
There are lots of critters outside our place!
