Feline Friday: Mortimer Wants a Squirrel

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

There’s a chair in our living room that the cats have mostly claimed as their own.  It’s comfortable, and it’s right in front of a window, so it makes sense that they like it.

Since the cats spend so much time in that chair, we decided to put a window bird feeder in that window.  It definitely keeps them entertained! 

Theodore and Mortimer

As is the case with most of our bird feeders, the squirrels visit at least as often as the birds do.  I think the cats are more interested in the squirrels than the birds.  

Enjoy this video of Mortimer watching a squirrel.

Thursday 13: The Fairy Trail at Bullington Gardens – Part 2

Last week, we began our tour of the Fairy Garden at Bullington Gardens.  The trail is beautiful, and there’s a lot to see, so join me as I take you along for Part 2 for this week’s Thursday 13.

1.    Fairies aren’t the only magical beings on this trail.  We’ll begin at the Woodland Park, which is shared by fairies and gnomes.

2.    There are quite a few gnomes along the trail, like this one resting on a bench.

3.    The gnomes even have a yoga studio. 


4.    This little friend is tucked away on a branch right next to Frogtown.



5.    Here’s one of the residents of Frogtown.

6.    Next, we come across even more gnomes.


7.    The gnomes even have a lake house.


8.    The magic continues with the Enchanted Forest, shared by fairies and gnomes.


9.    Next, we come to the Unicorn Meadow.


10. Along our way, we pass some cute little mushrooms and a butterfly made from stones.




11. Next, we come to the Fae Shed, shared by gnomes and other friends.  Of course, I was happy to see that they have a cat.


12.  We meet some more gnomes as we continue along the trail.



13. Finally, we end at Santa's Workshop.  


Join me next week as we finish our journey along the fairy trail.
