cats...sleeping pose expertise

in which two cats demonstrate their sleeping pose expertise...

Oliver loves to sleep in his "dragon" pose.

Stretching out on the comfy corkboard is wonderful, too!

aaaaahhh....sun puddle snoozing 

 

Curling up on the pink towel that Earnest was wrapped in on his last day is a great way to remember his best buddy. 

                        

One of Earnest's favorite spots was that lovely corkboard.

What is better than napping away on the stairs?!

so as not to miss any excitement (should any occur!)

Alphabe-Thursday, hosted by Ms Jenny, is so much fun!  This week our letter is "C." Come visit others' submissions HERE and join in the fun!

Oliver and Earnest share a sunny window.
Of course I am disturbing them from their window viewing entertainment!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

WATER DROPS OR WATER  FLOWING

somewhere in Tennessee last Monday.  No, I was not the driver!   Water droplets cover the windshield as we make our way through the foggy mountains.  my favorite driving conditions.  NOT!


FAITHFULNESS

2 lifetime friends love to curl up next to each other in a sun puddle.


THEN AND NOW

The rock is ancient, has been around for a lot of "thens."  The colored and crispy-brown leaves are new.


FINGERTIPS

This praying mantis was crawling on my front door, no doubt enjoying the warm sunshine.  Not fingertips in the human sense, yet performing some of the same functions.


one item from the Fall Bucket List*: NATURE WALK

hiking on Whiteside Mountain in North Carolina  (See another photo from that hike HERE.)
*See Sarah Halstead's Fall Bucket List HERE.

Hoodoos are tall, thin, spires of rock with variable thicknesses, having a "totem pole" shape.  They consist of soft stone topped by harder rock that erodes much more slowly.

Sharing: by Oliver and Earnest

Oooo...the most wonder-fur toy arrived this Christmas!  Yipee!  a mod shaker from Modern Cat!  filled with the most delectable catnip!  We loved this toy SO much, we played with it all night long!  We totally soaked it out!  ("eeeewwwww" said our mommy the next morning)

We both love it, but sharing with your best friend is the bestest!
