The morning rituals

The weather is a little less humid and hot so I am back to regular walks after breakfast with Kane. We passed by this guy lounging on his step. I think he was posing for me. When I walk the dog I pass by many, many cats in our area. I found it so odd to not see one cat while visiting Newfoundland.

Since we`ve had the hottest summer on record, I`m looking forward to Fall. I like cool evenings to walk the dog and maybe have a little fire going in the wood-stove when we get back. We haven`t seen the cats cuddling up much lately because of the heat so it was nice to see Lily and Mr.Ed snuggled up in the corner of the couch last night.

They used to be inseparable; to the point I worried about what would happen if one should pass on. Ed is 24 and Lily will soon be 18. Lately, they don`t cling to each other so much. They did enjoy the morning sun together, though.

 I`m keeping Sierra in more since I found the result of her newly-found hunting skills. CATS!!! She doesn`t seem to care as long as she gets to sit on her porch all morning waiting for the mailman.

I'm so in love with the cats I am cat-sitting this week. They are all real charmers. All my clients have graciously offered me access to their beautiful vegetable gardens while they travel. Awesome! We have been feasting from our daughter's garden the last 2 weeks. Best green beans ever. There is nothing like home-grown.
Audrey and Ruby played with a green bean on the floor last night for an hour and then devoured their treasure with great gusto. After breakfast, Audrey is now requesting her boxes to be stacked.
