Back to cat appreciation

Now that the days are growing shorter, many of my friends are preparing for Halloween (Samhain for Pagans)

Muffin was born on my birthday, on the front porch in St. Augustine FL, to a feral mom. She was  a darling friend for 18 years.

Panther, my last cat

I think this is Alice

Our family has several grey tabbies. I just found out they're called Butterfly Tabbies if they have the familiar "M" over their eyebrows.

Pretty sue this is Shiva. I will get to be a cat sitter for my grand-cat when my son and his wife go camping for a weekend soon.

Not Shiva!

I'm not a Canadian, just a friend of many Canadians!

Back at the lake

 

Last Friday I actually went to Lakeview Center and took part in a chair yoga class. It was a beautiful day too! This was my last photo (thanks Blogger, for once again turning the series around for me)

All my other photos have these wires, which I didn't really notice while I was taking them. Sorry about that. I don't claim to be a pro.

The North Carolina flag still has the date of our declaration of independence, which was sometime before 1776.

Yes, the end of summer growth is definitely scraggly.

And a special memory which I had forgotten...Sept. 11.2001

"On this day, 20 years ago, a tiny town in Newfoundland took in 6,700 airline passengers stranded during September 11th.

The town of Gander, Newfoundland, has six traffic lights and a population of less than thirteen thousand. They opened their homes and hearts to complete strangers, in their most painful hour.

It's what Canada does."

Thank you!

Today's quote:

Where I come from, the words most highly valued are those spoken from the heart, unpremeditated and unrehearsed.
