Spring for a few silver dollars.

 Took these two years ago in the early spring, of course. πŸ˜›Those were slightly more cheerier times cause that's when I had my little sunshine Meetso. 😞

Well anyways these are some lovely silver dollar blossoms before they get their distinctive silver dollar looking seed pods? Or are the called something else? But they're definitely silver dollar flowers. Didn't get as many this year though. Just as well.

A memorial to my dear Meetso.

 

See you later my little “lion tiger” and my cuddle bug.

Gone way too soon my little cuddle bug. Sep 20 2022. Early Tuesday morning.

In a world full of dark hearten people you were my ray of sunshine. You never pushed me away like people tend to do.

You loved to give and get cuddles. I gave you many treats and special foods despite certain foods that were off limits. You kept me warm on my bed like a hot water bottle.

You knew how to say “nom-noms” and you knew what it meant. You knew what the word “treats’ meant and you knew it was something special. You had a lovely robust purr of a male cat that intensified when I scratched and stroked you just so. You followed me everywhere like a lamb and even ate the sweet blades of grass growing in odd places near the flowers. You loved your catnip box and slept in it like Garfield. You loved to play games such as chase the thrown and bounced food kibble. Chasing the lazar pointer light and even a simple bamboo stick under a sheet or sticking behind the closet door and then you pounced on it or pawed it. You loved my homemade fluffy pompoms. They were lots of fun. You loved the rubber mice I had placed underneath my record cabinet. You'd pretend to catch an evading mouse. But shoes gave you the creeps. I saw you often taping them cautiously with you big fluffy paws. Might be a giant centipede under there?

You had soft orange and white fur on your stomach, softest as the softest cotton. You had a long fluffy tail like a dusting wand. You plucked it every spring till your tail resembled a fluffy lions tail to keep it neat and tidy, free from debris and knots. You had lovely back fur that stood on end gave you a porcupine look when defending your honor. Your back end featured lovely curly white hair. Unusual for a pussycat. You had big muscular white paws even though dainty hid deadly claws. But you kept them in for cuddles. Your head was shaped like a tiger's with main included. The white triangle on your face was one of your unique features that made you stand out. You always smelled like fresh Landry and your feet occasionally like corn chips. Even though you were a grown cat you will always be my little kitten. During the day, you remained in your little back yard domain. Your little backyard jungle domain. Sleeping the day away or excitedly chirping at your favourite birds in the trees and bushes. Occasionally you rocket up a bush or tree. Did you catch a snack? I wonder? You chilled off near our pond watching the colourful fish. At night you love to hang out on top of our house roof. Spotting owls, bats and nighthawks as they flew by or catching dinner. Sometimes you loved yourself a snack and would announce yourself with a meow near my bedroom window. Occasionally you like to tour the neibourhood at night while everyone is a sleep. Painting the town yellow. But now you are over the rainbow bridge with all the other former feline friends. Some feathers friends too and even a few scaly ones as well. I hope I get to see you all again where it never gets cold. Full of welcoming swaying palm trees. He says see you later and thanks for all the fish…..🐟

I say Thanks for all the cuddles, purrs and gentle biscuits of love and most of all, being my best furry friend.πŸ’”πŸ˜­ BestFuryFriendForever!πŸ•Š


Please note……

This post was never meant to be poetic or “rhymy” it was just in honor and much loved of a furry best friend taken way too soon and was written from the heart. Thank you!

And Thank you buddy!

Lovely purple spring of last year.

 Thought a post a "catch up" post relating to last year's spring. Sorry. But I post when I can. 

A few pics of our lovely crocuses from last year. This year they weren't as nice. But every year you have something that can catch the eyes. This year it seems our little cherry tree seems to be the star of the show. I ended up picking and cleaning ten cups worth of sour cherry beauties. But I won't be making jam from them this year. Cherry jam is not that popular in our household. Still delicious though. 

As for more images and recent ones, maybe eventually I'll get to the summer images. Eventually! πŸ˜›

Just add hot cereal

 I know the latest thing uploaded and shared here is related to fall and not spring, but I think its equally cheerful none the less. 

This little collectable, (to me anyways) is something from the last time I got to visit my relatives overseas. I miss them very much btw and sadly I'll never get to see my aunt again in this life. She died recently from complications of covid and cancer. The last time I spent some time with her and other family was in 85. Far too long. 😞

Anyways this little collectable is from the back of a quite popular hot cereal box traditionally eaten by children in Croatia. Apparently its still quite popular there. I had saved a few of the boxes after we came home and enjoyed some of the cereal. Not sure where the other unaltered box is but here is the back one of them. You can see we have featured here playful squirrels made of paper. It was one of the many things you could make and other activities that came with the box. Not uncommon with cereal boxes over here too.


This one also features a cute jingle you can play along as a song with your voice or instrument I guess. 

The cereal is great too. Who wouldn't love a choco hazelnut flavoured cereal to fill you up on a cold morning. Now that's the way to start the day. But not too had to make your own version. Just purchase your favorite hot wheat cereal and choco hazelnut spread and mix it in with your own favorite additives. Then enjoy! 😊

Stretching out to Spring

 Just in time for early spring, which was when these photos of Meetso were taken only last year. What else is new. Just wish I could have shot them a bit better. But again it was a spur of the moment thing. After all, animals don't stay in one place for long. Meetso decided to have a good stretch on the small green house. If I was a cat, I'd probably do the same thing. Its no "stretch" of the imagination after all. πŸ˜‰

What do you see?

 Hello world. I'm back. Its been awhile I know. Just been busy with lots of stuff. Especially with a personal project that I have been working on for almost about half a year I think. I made it to the "putting colour on illustrations part" of my stuff. Hopefully can can finish this as soon as possible along with some editing of other things. 

For my avatar on the side over there, Not going to bother to change it for now since its almost spring anyways. 

Anyways we have this lovely pic of my dirty dish. I had just finished eating a slice of blueberry pie or was that cheese cake?  Oh well, yeah its been awhile since it was last year I took that pic.  To what was left behind, really caught my eye. I don't know about you, but I see a beautiful image of a graceful long necked bird. What do you see? 

I think I'll keep the image and when I get around to it, might draw it out. Maybe I'll find more of these "ink blots". 😊
