Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week I have two posts which although originally posted almost three weeks apart go well with each other.

17th May 2008 In the Greenhouse.

Eric: We both like it in the greenhouse cuz it is always warm even when it rains. I like drinking out of the watering can the best as well. It tastes much better than ordinary water.
We help mum in here by digging up all the earth furr her, but she duzn't like it much when we use it as a litterbox.
Can you see Flynn? He's napping in the big plant pot. Mum put a lot of weeds in it, then we started sleeping in it so she put some hay in it to make it comfy. She sez it will soon haf to be moved cuz she wants to start planting her tomatoes in here. Maybe she will leave a corner furr us to sleep in it.

Flynn: This is a nice nap spot. I yooshully sleep here during the day, then Eric sleeps in here at night until we haf to go indoors to go to bed. I don't want mum to move it.


15th June 2008  Thanks Mum.

Do you remember the great big plant pot we found in the greenhouse? Mum had put weeds and cut grass in it to throw away. We decided it was a good place furr napping but only one of us could get in at a time.Mum told us not to get too attached to it cuz it wuz soon going outdoors so she could put her tomato plants growing in the greenhouse.

Well, she didn't take it out, but she put another one in there as well, and put nice sweet horse hay in there furr us to sleep on. Look we have one each. We wuz hoping she wouldn't plant her tomatoes too quick.

Look what she did! She left our big plant pots furr us to nap in, and planted her tomatoes around them. That means we can come in here all summer and nap if we want to. Fanks mum, just make sure you don't water us when you water the tomatoes.


The Random photo this week was chosen by Katie Isabella who asked for 29.05.12.
I try to match the photo date with the month I post it.
The boys are relaxing in the shade after a long walk around the fields.



I am joining Athena, the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art and using the random photo.


I started with Fairy at 30% then Beauty 40%.

I then tried with Deep Dream Generator. I never have much success with that but after the 4th attempt was reasonably happy with the result. I haven't a clue what I ended up doing, but here it is.

  1. As we started reading the post, we thought "well why not just have gotten 2 for the boys"? And then we saw you did. We had forgotten that one!

    BTW, those watering cans and pots must be internatioonal. He have identical ones...

  8. Those pots were perfect napping spots, and that photo of them both in their pots, surrounded by the tomato plants, is wonderful. Such loved boys! ♥

  9. Such a lovely thing to do, putting another pit in there so both boys could enjoy comfortable naps. There is no end to what we will do for our beloved pets.

    I am trying hard to be a good little boy but I can't help it. I just have to run and jump and push things of shelves sometimes!

    Purrs,

    1. That also made #1 think of the famous parsley pot episode with Huffle Mawson! Do you remember that campaign started by Angus Mhor?

  10. I LOVED seeing the boys in their pots! Always did, and seeing that rising-from-the-pot sweet head in the second picture went a long way to bringing me the biggest smile I have had all day. 29/5 is the birthday of my favorite brovver. The year is not his birth year- but when Admiral flew away. Thank you so much. XXX

  19. The greenhouse seems a lovely place to relax, and who would guess their were potted cats inside?!

  20. Those pots must have been the comfiest places to snooze, especially on a warm summer's day when the straw was heated.

  21. Eric and Flynn, I'm very impressed with your ingenious choices where to drink from and nap in! It's thoughtful of your mom to plant her tomatoes so they don't interfere with naptime. The artwork is very nice! Thanks for sharing your handsome boys. Jean

  22. What a wonderful Mom you boys had to let you each have a pot for napping!!! We like to "help" with the gardening, but the Momster says we help too much. So for the most part we are banned from the gardens:(

  25. Oh Boy! Some of my favorite shots of the boys! I loved them in the Greenhouse and in their pots. I love the flashback shot and I especially love the Deep Dream Generator art! Stunning! And I can't wait to do the puzzle.

  27. Always love seeing these two boys, especially in flower pots. :)

  28. I love this flashback. I didn't follow blogs back then so I knew they loved their pots for napping, but I didn't know the sweet thing you did for them by planting the tomatoes around instead of in them. I like both pieces of art. Thank you for the puzzles. XO

  29. I love this post and all the wonderful pictures. I, also, love the art. Very nicely done.

  30. Say it with me three times fast: Two pot cats in two cat pots. Go ahead, try it. Wonderfully fun flashback photos of those dear angel boys!

  31. Yay Mom! Cat: Plus 1. Tomato Pots: -0
    As it should be, the Cats are the winners.
    (and along with everyone else, favorite photos!)

  32. We absolutely love all these photos. We were not blogging or reading blogs in 2008. You were such a good mom to provide both Eric and Flynn with their very own pots. Both art pieces came out beautifully. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, angel Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Sawyer & Kizmet

  33. If there's something that always makes smile, it's seeing Angels Eric and Flynn in their flowerpots. XO

  34. I remember the postings of the boys sleeping in the pots because I loved those photos so much! Thanks for resharing them! Great artwork!!

  35. We remember the flower pots! Our outdoor friend, Phantom, started sleeping in a flower pot on the front porch after the plant died. Our mom was going to get another plant to put in the pot, but couldn't deprive Phantom of her bed, so she just bought another plant already in a pot and set it next to the one Phantom likes. Cats come first!

  38. We love those flowerpot pictures. If you put cats in flowerpots and water them well, will they grow into a cat bush, do you think (mol)?

    ReplyDelete

  42. I'd say you two boys are spoiled ... but if you deserve to be ... does that make it adequate treatment or can we still call that spoiling?
