Monster Monday is Temporarily on Hold Due to the Cat

for the last four weeks we’ve been cat sitting

When my neighbour went into the hospital I volunteered to look after the cat in her home. My husband is allergic to cats or so we thought so for the first two weeks I went into my neighbour’s house twice a day to give the cat clean water and food and spend some time with him. When the weather got nicer I started letting him out for a few minutes every day. One day he came over to our porch where Kevin was sitting and they immediately bonded. Now the cat comes over every day and visits anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. We always feed him from his home and at night he sleeps there as well.

Remarkably, Kevin’s allergies are pretty mild when the cat is around. Some days when he’s with us he’s very demanding of our attention and it interferes with Kevin’s ability to draw on his iPad. One day last week, he posted this drawing.

This week Kevin’s time has been so devoted to the cat that instead of a monster he came up with this drawing instead. We apologize to the fans of Monster Monday but they will return in the near future.

Sunday Trees – June 18, 2023

still standing

This lovely old birch has long lost it’s foliage and most of it’s branches but the trunk is firmly planted into the sand.

Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – Nostalgia

thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting weekly prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2023/06/14/weekly-prompts-wednesday-challenge-nostalgia-2/

As I get older I become more and more nostalgic. All kinds of things remind me of my past. Baking bread at the inn reminds me of our first trip to San Francisco where I first tasted sourdough white bread and my box of buttons reminds me of my mom and her button box. I even created a series of paintings called Needle and Thread that brought back memories of my childhood.
