Friday random. It’s where my head’s at these days.
I’m sorry I’ve been hiding these past few of days.
But here I am, back in the light.
So is Morgan. She loves to sit on the dining room window sill and grin menacingly at the squirrels until they feel flustered and have to go away.
This cat’s so weird…in a fantastic feline way.
She likes to bring things to the back door. Right now it’s leaves. The bigger the better. These are off the grape vine in the side garden. Then she lines the leaves up for display. What’s that all about?
We have a lovely visiting student with us. Mei from Japan. She’s only here for a one week tour and she’s made us supper yesterday. (she said she was practising for it…so sweet)
She’s used these ingredients (only two of which I recognised as soy and rice vinegar) and made a wonderful potato, carrot, onion, beef dish with rice balls. She also brought a Japanese cook book for me as a prezzy. I wonder if I’ll find this recipe in there, it was yummy. But honestly, I was thinking that I might just wing it.
Chloe is 10 weeks into her 13 week semester and sometimes the pressure is a bit much. She’s not doing mornings too well these days.
So I bought her a now coat! She really loves the Anthro-Bohemian look and I like to be inventive, so this coat fits the bill. It also fit my bill because it was thrifted for about $5! Honestly, the way C falls in love with clothes and then, just as quickly out of love with them, this is the most sensible way.
C and Bryson just found out that their friend is expecting a baby! Yikes! They’re excited and scared for her at the same time. Not sure what I think. Looking at C she seems so very young, but then, by the time I was her age I already had one plus one on the way. The choices we make are staggering sometimes, aren’t they?
Sharing with Nancy for random five. š

I love how the cat lines up the leaves ~ a decorator perhaps disguised as a cat? š

Neat random thoughts. It seems you have a lot to be thankful for in your life. I loved the pictures of the bright colorful leaves in the top of your post. I live in South Florida and the changing seasons are not that dramatic. Very cool post!

So much talent in that household that even the pets are artists!

Morgan is beautiful! My cats are more apt to leave a path of destruction behind…well, not so much now that they are older. But will still find a torn up roll of toilet paper every now and then. That is a nice coat for $5….
Catherine
Beautiful pictures. I love the one with your kitty and the leaf background! I also think it’s hilarious that she lines up the leaves-too cute! Happy Friday!

So nice to meet you and thanks for the visit today. It is fun to be able to Show Off and Brag about some of my favorite bloggers. Your Japanese dinner sounded soooooooooooooo good. It would be fun to have the recipe. Loved your pretty pictures and hope you will stop by again. I also host a party every week called Inspire Me Tuesday. It goes live on Mon. afternoon and is a place to show off anything and everything you’ve been up to. I would love to have you join in sometime. Hugs, Marty

This is awesome – the red of the curtain and of the foliage and the cat!
Yes, cats are mysterious (just Sphinx) and my also has its specific rituals, I do not always understand … But I love it for this.
Have a great weekend š
Veronica
Does he? You must write about your cat’s rituals sometime, I’d love to read that. š
Mascha
A very interesting collection of pictures… –

Hootin' Anni
With your kitty photos, it was just like being HERE at my house. I have a black long haired kitty that loves sitting with the sunshine in the windows!
Veronica
Is that right Anni? Now I have to go find him on your blog…lol š
Nancy @ A Rural Journal
You’ve got some gorgeous leaves there outside your window… no wonder the kitty wants to collect them. š
Veronica
Thanks Nancy, That tree is pretty spectacular. I’m lucky it came with the house. š
Ida P. Krause
What a view Morgan the kitty has of that divine tree and of course squirrels. What is it with cats and squirrels.
Too funny about her and lining up the leaves.
Your daughter looks a bit stressed…mornings can do that if you want to sleep-in.
Cool looking coat.

Hi Ida, that cat of mine is hilarious. I don’t think she’d ever be capable of getting a squirrel. Those leaves, what’s that all about? At last it’s not dead birds or mice or something.
Catherine
Really lovely photos! The leaves are such a nice colour in the photo with your cat looking out of the window! That is funny that the cat lines up the leaves š I love animals!
Veronica
I know Catherine, strange habit she has. There’s more leaves outside this morning. š
Diane
Great red leaves. If I were a cat I would sit there too and enjoy the view. š
Veronica
They are great, aren’t they? I must admit to staring at them once in a while myself. š
Daryl
clearly morgan is a creative cat …
Kate North
Bit behind in my blog reading (and everything else,I think!) but wanted to say I love that maple tree – what a great thing to have outside your window… As for Morgan, if what you are being brought is leaves, I’d consider yourself lucky. It sure beats dead (or live) mice, frogs, or as my grandparents’ cat, when they lived on a farm with a stream, used to bring: almost dead fish flopping around on the doorstep!
