Cat Nap Love

Our cats love to take naps...no surprise, they are cats!

While they typically nap within a few feet of one another, I caught those two having the most love-filled nap ever. Yup, those two tabby cats were loving their nap so much, loving each other so much, and loving snuggling so much that they actually formed a heart.

Love my boys!

Making the Super Bowl even Better

Thinking back on the Super Bowl...it was on in my house but it didn't capture my interest in the least. I'll admit to walking over a couple of times to see a few of the commercials and of course the half time show. But what would have captured my interest in the actual game just a tad?

I've decided flowers. Yup, flowers. Seriously, wouldn't that have been a nice touch?


Here's a little lefty floral football for your viewing pleasure.

That Chicken Look

I walked out to our chickens' yard holding a bowl of goodies. They eagerly ran up to me clearly expecting cottage cheese or at least some yummy seeds. So when I put the bowl of fresh organic green beans down for them they gave me the same look that my kids used to when I'd give them green beans.


Chickens: "Um, really? This is what we ran over here for?"


But being chickens they went ahead and ate it...unlike my kids.



I was looking at Juliet Crane's work on Pinterest and found myself inspired to take a left-handed stab at painting my chickens.

Thrift Store Dress

I went thrifting over the weekend and found the most adorable little spring/summer dress. It is fabulous and will go great with my cowboy boots!

But....

Due to my laziness I was unwilling to shave (as I thought I oughta) so the perfect weather Sunday went on its merry way leaving only cold and raininess in its wake.

So I wait. And I reconsider the concept of laziness as I gear up for a lovely and sunny spring weekend ahead.

Eggcellent!

It happened! One of our chickens finally laid an egg!!!!!

It's not a huge egg, but it's a perfectly fabulous egg. And tonight we shall dine on this mid-size oval eggstraordinaire.


Hard boiled? Nope.

Over easy? No way.

Poached? Not a chance.


No, this special egg will be scrambled and divided into four equal servings.


I just know it'll be eggcellent!


P.S. Painting an egg with your left hand when you're right handed is much harder than you'd think! Loving my lefty challenge!

The Other Side

My right wrist has been hurting for a while so I figured I'd make lemons out of lemonade and take on a personal challenge. I decided to do a series of paintings with my left hand. I've done it before, though not for this reason. This is one of my prior lefty pieces and here is another. Interesting to me how sweet and childlike those pieces are...and how this one is so not.

I wonder what opposite hand creations reveal about us over time.


Look for more lefty pieces this week.

Trio

I took a lovely nap this afternoon. I love a weekend nap!

When I got into bed our kitten, Tommy, was there. I pulled him under the covers, lay his head on my shoulder, and he and I blissfully slept. I stirred at some point, opened my eyes and saw our big dog, Hazel, beside us and I drifted back to sleep. My little guy came in the room and got on my bed to snuggle with Hazel and I saw that at some point our old cat, Pug, had joined the napping party.

I love my fuzzy sleep Trio!
