Music to our ears

Spring is in the air.
The birds in our yard are making a ruckus a-singin and a-courtin.


Have a listen:


They've been carrying on like that all weekend, mol!  But it's a sweet sound to our ears and we're glad to have the windows open a bit to enjoy the fresh air and music :)
Have a good one, everybuddy!

Balloons!

Mom was doing some field work the other morning and lookit what she saw...


Balloons!
Isn't that cool?  They almost look like kitty toys, floating in the sky :D
There are balloon companies out of the Napa valley that will often launch near the town where she works.


And a first for her was actually driving by one of these that had landed...





Our mom loves to see the balloons but she thinks she'd be too chicken to ride in one.
We like high places but that's going a bit far for us even!

Easy Sunday

It's another Easy Sunday here.  We've had beautiful weather so we put our mom to work outside.  Yesterday she worked on the front yard and this morning I snoopervised her doing some work in the front planter area.


I had a special project for her to do.  I get very upset when I see introoder kitties in my yard.  If Minnie's around, I usually take my frustrations out on her, heh heh.  Otherwise, the stress makes me overgroom and mow my furs off...


I asked mom to do something to keep the introoders away from my window and shrubberies.
This is what we came up with:


Do you see the spikey mat things?  They are supposed to deter introoders.  Mom also collects the spikey seed balls from our liquidambar tree and puts them out in this planter to discourage the neighborhood kitties from passing through.  We only had enough of the spikey mats to do a small area, but hopefully the part we did, in combination with the spikey balls, will keep the introoders out of this area closest to my window.  If this helps, I'll have mom get more of the spikey mats to cover another part of this planter that seems to function as a kitty highway.


In other weekend news, on account of such nice weather, Wriggley was given a bath yesterday ::snicker:: 

And a most terrible thing happened this morning: mom's coffee making machine died!  Thankfully it happened after she made her morning pot today.  I guess 6,000 squillion thousand pots of coffee over about fourteen years is the limit!  She hasn't gone shopping for a new one yet...tomorrow mornning could get scary!



Happy Earth Day, everybuddy!  I've had a busy mroning so I'm going to get back to my nap.
Cheers!

Friday Fun

With me again, Smidgen!
Well, it turns out that I did get pressies for my birthday.
First I got this cheap cardboard ring economical, ecofriendly/recyclable flying ring!


It's actually a lot of fun...

woo hoo!

d'oh!

Ya wanna get that for me mom?

woo hoo!

That's better!
I also got some brand new nappy mats!  Mom said it would be good to have extras on account of my, um, accidents.  But you know, I've been accident-free for a week now...knock on wood... (raps paw on Minnie's head)


Pretty wild, huh?
The fleece is a little different than my usual nappy pads...

yeah...I got two of the same color cause they were
the ones on sale...whatever!

But it still feels good under paw.
I wanna say thanks to everybuddy, for visiting me and helping me celebrate on this week of, well, Me!
Now if you'll excuse me...I'm gonna get back to my biscuits...
