"Thankful Thursday" ON SUNDAY


MEOWZ, on Sunday, July 5

The super hots are on their way out!
The big boomers are over, done, gone!
Even the thunder-dunder ones that delayed our Inner Harbor
fireworks, and then lefty-over mist dulled the sounds.
Pawsibly I can spend less time in the closet?**

Maybe [well, purrably not] we can make similar 
big changes next door in DC? ...
like: out/over/done/gone!
Sorry, that's a bit too much to hope for, meowz.

Maybe I'll just purrtend to start
July all over again!
Now, we start our 251st year ... is that right?
Let's raise lots of paws for good days to come, meowz.

** btw, if'n you didn't see OONA in 
her closet, OMC, go watch!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA


I am often among many bemoaning the state of affairs in the USA.
Among many tipping my head in shame, but today I will stand tall and proud.
Below, just a few select words from two songs that have long been favorites.

To paraphrase Kermit, "somebody thought of that,
somebody believed ~ and yes, look, we have come so far."

Listening many times to the one and only Louis Armstrong,
I do hear, have heard people saying,
"I love you."

THE HOUSE OF A MILLION CATS


Technically, not.
I am an only cat, happy to be.
Here you see, well not quite all, but 22 of my pillow-cat friends.
And not shown quite a few of my other cat friends live 
here and there around our studio.
But, technically, not a million.
Meowz.


HAPPY AS AN ONLY CAT

THANKFUL THURSDAY


Though never my lap cat, content to sit beside ~ for brushies.

Thankful for her, thankful for her choices, she is allowed.

I'm good with that.
