Wow is that gorgeous! It’s a shame it’s also poisonous.

Wonderful poem, as usual, and a wonderful graphic to go with it!

How did you kids take all those pumpkins quietly? My mind hears squeeks of excitement.

This house is TP'd at the end of every school year, a tradition that dates back to prehistory.

I thought the graphic fit NmB’s poem but note that I’m partial to friendly dragons.

For All The Cat~People Of Amy's Place



'Cat~i~tude' Haiku





Resplendent at rest.
Formidable on the prowl.
Graceful at all times!

Lovers of Sunlight
and deep shadows. Also the
unattended Box

No place is too large
or too small for a Feline
to claim as their own

Favorite Places
are found when quite young. The list
only gets longer

Do not look for a
Cat. Seek out streams of Sunlight.
You will find the Cat

Kittens find Curtains
irresistible. Made to
hone their climbing skills

All places above
the floor are challenges to
be conquered in time

Cabinets and shelves
offer unique perspectives
into 'Cat~i~tude'

Humans may think that
they own their Cat, but it's the
other way around!

"... note that I’m partial to friendly dragons."

I think I saw that graphic before, as this evidence may attest:

Dragon!

To hold in my hand a dragon,
Yes, that would be my desire.
Although I'm not a smoker,
I would have that convenient fire.

Of course, you know I'm jesting,
A dragon for me would be great!
But the tiny one I could hold in my hand,
Is not where I'd concentrate.

I don't need a pet to care for,
But a partner to help me produce,
A means to travel that fires the mind,
And problems to ashes reduce!

That one is perfect for the picture! You write such wonderful things, Bob!

Friendly dragons...everyone needs at least one!

Thank you so much Kitty! Billie gave me that Banner Generator and I filed it and couldn’t find it....LOL! I used it a few times before I lost it. Its still here, I just don’t know where!! Smart of me, huh? I will have to practice again but it does make pretty banners!

That color you used matched your doggie so well! I appreciate you!

Darn it, I went over there and forgot how to fill our those color blocks. Guess I will have to play with it. Any clues for me? (((Hugs)))

LJ, we were giggling, and slipping in the mud and falling, and laughing so hard (with our hands over our mouth). We thought we were SO cool!

I "think" it's still Wednesday, isn't it? Am sorry to be AWOL all day - didn't expect to be THIS late getting here!

I did say I wanted to post a link to Kevin Skinner's performance last night on America's Got Talent if I could find one today 'cause I just know ALLLLL of you love music as much as I do.....:)



Make You Feel My Love
(as sung by Kevin Skinner)

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I would offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

Though you haven't made your mind up yet
I will never do you wrong
Known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

Til I go lonely I go black and blue
Til I go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

To make you feel my love





I didn't find a YouTube of his performance, and though I taped it, I can't upload videos,
so I converted my video to an mp3 and uploaded it for you to hear.

For those who missed his audition, here is a YouTube link.
Notice he's had a bit of a makeover since the audition. :)
