World Animal Day ~

I have just read

that this is

World Animal Day

so of couse

I had to share a few photos

of my Callie Kat

 "Never try to outstubborn a cat."

Robert A. Heinlein

“My cat is not insane, she's just a really good actress.” 

P.C. Cast

"Cats are a mysterious kind of folk."

Walter Scott

“Prowling his own quiet backyard or asleep by the fire,

 

 he is still only a whisker away from the wilds.”

Jean Burden

“If you have men who

 will exclude any of God's creatures

 from the shelter of compassion and pity,

 you will have men who will deal

 likewise with their fellow men.”

St. Francis of Assisi

An Outing ~

A June outing

in which I became lost

while looking for wild roses.

 It was about this point

when I discovered that I was on a

Minimum Maintenance Road

Travel At Your Own Risk

"Minimum Maintenance"

was an understatement for the road

that quickly became a single dirt lane

and there was not a place to turn around.

It was with a sigh of relief

that I eventually found my way home.

That's about as exciting as things get around here!

"I am often asked if I am not lonely on my solitary excursions.

 It seems so self-evident that one cannot be lonesome

 where everything is wild and beautiful and busy

 and steeped with God

 that the question is 

hard to answer."

John Muir

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Wisdom by Pooh ~

“When having

a

smackerel of something

with a friend,

don't eat so much

that you get stuck in the doorway

trying to get out.”

falls
by
the wayside

it appears

there's

more

than one way

to

get

what 

you want

I'll confess

I'm easily amused

by

sights such as this

{a character flaw of sorts}

but

a person's gotta wonder about

the future of that sheep
