Feline Friday: Boots, The Bullington Gardens Cat

For Feline Friday, all you have to do is post a picture, drawing, cartoon, or video of a cat.

Now that you’ve seen the Fairy Trail at Bullington Gardens, I can show the cutest part of our visit.

This is Boots, the Bullington Gardens cat.  He was an absolute sweetheart.  As nice as the Fairy Trail was, I would have been happy to stand around and pet Boots all day.  He was so soft and sweet.

Boots came to live at Bullington Gardens because someone threw him out there.  (I like to think there’s a special place in hell for anyone who does something like that.)

Fortunately for Boots, the nice people at Bullington Gardens took him in, and now he spends his days getting lots of pets and love.  

Feline Friday: Theodore In A Frog Hat

For Feline Friday, all you have to do is post a picture, drawing, cartoon, or video of a cat.

This week, we have Theodore in his frog hat.

Theodore is all about food, so I can bribe him to wear hats as long as I give him treats. 

I think he looks adorable in them.

Here’s a video of him enjoying his treat. 

Thursday 13: Angel Oak

I’ve written about the Angel Oak before, but it’s so beautiful it deserves multiple mentions.  We usually go visit it every year on vacation, and I always take lots of pictures. 

So, for Thursday13, here are pictures from our 2021 trip.

1.     The Angel Oak is huge.  You can read more about its dimensions here.

2.     Here’s a view with most of the tree to give you an idea of its size.

3.     Here’s another angle of the main trunk.

4.     And another angle of the main trunk.

5.     It has huge branches that sprawl in all directions.

6.     Some of the branches have so many of their own branches that they almost seem like their own mini forest.

7.     Many of the branches are bigger than some trees.

8.     I think the moss that grows on some of the shadier branches is beautiful.

9.     Some of the branches sprawl along the ground.

10.  Some of them are huge.

11.  Here’s a picture to give you an idea of how many branches the main trunk has.

12.  I love looking at all of the different directions that the branches twist and turn.

13.  I think some of the most beautiful views come from standing underneath and looking at the branches as they twist and turn across the sky. 

Feline Friday – Mail Delivery

For Feline Friday, all you have to do is post a picture, drawing, cartoon, or video of a cat.

We got the cats a new toy; their very own mail truck. 

Theodore enjoying the mail truck.

They tend to love scratcher toys like this. 

They loved their taco truck.

The ice cream truck was also very popular.

Fortunately, the mail truck seems to be much sturdier, which is good since they like to sit on top of it as well as inside it. 

Mortimer seems to prefer being on top of the truck.

Thursday 13: The Fairy Trail at Bullington Gardens – Part 3

For this week’s Thursday 13, we’re going to conclude our tour of the fairy trail at Bullington Gardens.  (Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here, in case you missed them.)

 

1.    We’ll begin at the Ivy Patch Fun Park.

2.    It even has a Ferris wheel and a hot air balloon.

3.    Next is the Abracadabara Magic Shoppe.

4.    Then we come to the Fairy Good Bakery, which was one of my favorites.  I think it’s just darling. 

5.    I love the little tea set. 

6.    The cakes are so pretty, and you have to appreciate the fairy’s advice to eat more cake.

7.    We find more fairy advice as we continue along the trail.

8.    There are more doors nestled in the trees along the way.

9.    Some of the doors even have little surprises behind them.

10. We find the Tooth Fairy Office and Warehouse.

11. The Second Hand Shop is made from a boot, with a license plate roof.

12. We pass another tea set, all set for a tea party, along the way.

13. There are more fairy houses in all shapes and sizes.

I hope you've enjoyed our stroll along the Fairy Trail.
