We know we are a day late, but wanted you to know what we are thankful for this year:
- Fresh Catnip that the caretaker grows in her garden.
- Treats – besides catnip.
- Birdfeeders- to gaze at birds and dream of catching one.
- Open windows on Monday (it was almost 70 degrees here) to enjoy fresh air one last time before next Spring.
- A warm bed or couch or chair to curl up in and snooze.
- Petting on the demad of a meow.
- Be able to escape out the front door once in awhile and roll in the dirt!!! (its too cold to do this now – we have 4 inches of snow!!!)
- We are even thankful for Bandit – even though he is a dog.
- Great caretakers of our castle that feed and water us, clean our litter box out and just being all around good people.
- Laser pointer light to play with.
- Turkey scraps.
We probably left something out so we will just say we are thankful for everything!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING –
Bob and Hilton.
The Geezer walked down the road, in his bathrobe, to take a picture of the Sunrise.
I followed, just to make sure the mice stayed away.
Do my eyes look scary in this picture?
Ain’t this pretty!!!
And How about this . . .
These are from two different days and we had nothing to do with taking the pics– We left that up to the caretakers. We suppose we will have to thank them since as we mentioned before that we only see houses, trees, grass and an occasional squirrel from the out doors.
Hope you enjoy the view from rural Iowa.
And for you added viewing bonus (and LM[our]AO) pictures of the week . . .
What can we say . . . we laughed so hard. We hear the trick or treaters really thought Bandit was cool. Earlier this year Bandit got sprayed by a skunk out at the farm. Even with a bath with special soap it took several days for the smell to go away and he was not allowed in the house. His previous caretakers sent him the costume and voila. . . We guessed we just got really lucky and did not have to endure the whole costume thing . . . anyway we would have just hid out in the basement (in our double secret hiding space) until the coast was clear. Hope there are no Thanksgiving or Christmas ideas for costumes or pictures . . . and don’t get any ideas.
We promise to have some pictures up later today. . . still having problems manipulating the camera and computer . . . without thumbs its a challenge. We might have to bribe the caretakers of our castle to help us out.
We think you will like the pics and discussion to follow. We had to ask the caretakers what are sunrises and sunsets. . . you see we don’t get out much and from our vantage point all you see are trees, houses and the occasional squirrel. Our nemesis – Bandit– let say we had a good laugh at his expense recently (just think Halloween and Costume).
More to come — BOB and Hilton
