WHERE DID ALL THOSE CHARACTERS COME FROM?

Honestly!  Truly!  All I did was spend Friday "In My Dreams" with Super Girl ... 
and Saturday, traveling with some mine Mommy memories 
about Horton, the big blue eley-phant ... 
then ... suddenly, unexpectedly ... 
when I return to the garden, for the Tea Party ahead ... 
and oh no ... oh dear!


... therefore ...
you shall not see me again,
nor hear from me ...
not a meowz ...
tail swish ...
or gentle purr ...

for friends, there is much work to be done in the garden!
Alas, the ghouls 'n' ghosts 'n' monsters 'n' more
'n' all those other characters come from and 
how did they get in ...
we have the best security ... and cameras ... and ...

[I know I locked the garden gate ... didn't I?]

CATURDAY ART ~ with HORTON HEARS A WHO




Hello Horton.  I'd like to be a big blue eley-phant for Halloween.
Little June, I'm not sure I can accommodate you as you are quite small.

But Horton, you always said, "a person's a person, no matter how small".
True, but you are a cat.
I know you can do something . . .


Oh, Horton, magic.  Love my big ears 'n' tail.  Purr-fect!  Meowz!

[now let me share a little once-upon-a-time story about
another Horton that mine Mommy knew and loved
and some wonderful kitties who came before ...
"OK, June ... I would love to hear a story ... about 'me' ..."]

2014
MEET HORTON
Auntie Dee's RV, fondly named after that big blue pachyderm,
about to hit the road ... with Miss Ann, now Angels TK, Pip and Zoey.
We would travel from Maryland to Florida,
stopping for little adventures along the way ... and did so for several years to follow,
and yes ... the kitties were all "happy wanderers.


2015
Of course, HORTON and HORTON
Here, with an adventure in the beautiful little town of Micanopy, FL and another
when we visited Cross Creek, FL known as the long-time home and orange grove
of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.  She lived there beginning in the late 1920s
until her death, writing her best known book while there, "The Yearling".
Yes, Horton took us many many places wonderful, fun
and beautiful over the years.  He and his Mommy still travel 
North to South every year, they are "snow birds" ... though we no longer
travel with them, we do miss our days of adventures.

HORTON HEARS A WHO
was written by Theodor Geisel Seuss, Dr. Seuss 
in 1954, published by Random House

The big blue, with his elephant-sized heart, was always known
to save the day, and famously said,
"any person big or small, can speak up for what is right."

Well, said, Horton.
We can all speak up for what is right,
when we cast our votes on November 3, 2026,
right, Horton?

FELINE FRIDAY ~ "IN MY DREAMS"


IN MY DREAMS
I always dreamed of being Super June Girl,
flying high in the sky,
viewing my city from so very high.

[of course, my mask would protect my eyes ...]

"come back, I called to my Super Girl from Firefly ...
but off she did zoom, not even a goodbye ...
In my dreams, 
I will wait, with quiet soft sigh ..."

Meowz.

Speaking of "super things",
our friend JUNO,
he lives in that beautiful city, Toronto,
is celebrating his 20th Blogoversary!


to visit this super pup!

THANKFUL THURSDAY ... and SUNSHINE


I must say I have certainly enjoyed many days this week, sitting here in my rounder,
thankful for the sunshine on my shoulders.

Meanwhile, mine Mommy is more or less, emphasis on the more, wondering why our
temperatures remain in the mid to high 80s and saying "where went autumn" and why are all
the trees on Charles Street still full, lush and green?  It's too, too hot!

So, she is mostly in absentia, off in her my pretend Tea Party Garden, washing tea cups,
dusting tables, arranging flowers and just whatever she must do to ensure
it is just right for our guests ~ are you coming?  I hope so, meowz.

BOOLATRY IS ON BREAK TODAY

 So here is just a purrty picture of a purrty girl ~ June.


And her mine Mommy is writing this morning.
Noting she may look purrty, calm, even innocent.  But truth be told ...

To bed last night, with all the city lights illuminating the room,
I could see her little ears as she sat in her window rounder.

This morning ... the dozen or more spring toys that once were there
on the ledge, had been reduced to less than six.
The two furry mice, one gone.
A blue jingle ball, missing.

If I had any intent [probably not] of dusting & vacuuming today,
a search-and-rescue must take place for
spring toys, mice and a jingle ball before mr. dyson even comes out of the closet.

It seemed to me this purrty little girl had been very busy all night long.
Don't you agree?
This is life with a kitty cat.

MONDAY. COFFEE.


It's Monday.
Who knows what we will do next.
Does anyone ever plan a Monday day.
I do not.  Mine Mommy does not.
We just wait and see ...
Let's have another cup of coffee ...
