the fun you make for yourself




there were a million words in my head last night. i don't know why i didn't wrestle them to the page. nor do i know where they have gone. i'd like to think they're not gone, just hiding from me at the moment. 

yesterday had its moments. some very good and some less so. most days are like that, i suppose. but there was sunshine and i had some fun in the garden mixing it up with a bit of lego - bunny suit guy on a star wars at-at? the unicorn sparkle fairy riding a dino? those make me smile. juxtapositions. the unexpected. i like that. i also like that i almost always have at least one cat who wants to help when i'm out taking photos. we have to find our joy in the little things around us and our fun in the fun we make for ourselves. because you can't really rely on someone else to do it for you. it really does all come back to you.

not what i had in mind...


now that we finally got some snow, i put out some bird seed yesterday for the little birds that have been singing in such a springlike manner around here. but it seems that the cats had some other activities in mind.


funnily enough, i haven't seen a single bird visit this feeder. unless you count the chickens at the foot of it, eating up the grains the cats are knocking down.


the cats even seem to have developed some kind of guard duty plan, taking turns. i don't think they're having much success tho'. the birds are far too smart for that. as kim suggested elsewhere, we may have learned what they mean by the expression "sitting in the catbird seat."

tobias the christmas cat




tobias is getting into the christmas spirit.
what a good sport he was.
until he discovered how hard it was to walk.
then the christmas tree costume had to go.
