Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week I have two very short posts that more or less follow on from last week's when their grass had disappeared. Both were from June 2009 and the first was originally an Easy on Sunday

Eric: We do still have some more long grass, it just means I have to go further if I want to sit in it. I hope dad doesn't cut it too soon . He says as soon as the weather is good, it's all going to disappear like our other grass. I'm going to make the most of it and have an easy Sunday sitting in it. I may even nap in it.


Flynn: While Eric is guarding the grass, I am taking it easy on Sunday and stopping to smell the flowers.

The second was posted a day later and was a Mancat Monday

Now there is some new hay in the barn, we have to work very hard on mousie lookout. We make sure mum pays us well with treats.

I am joining Athena the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art.

For Flynn I started with Frida at 60%, then Beauty at 35%

For Eric it was Landscape at 50%, then Abstract at 40%.

They looked very happy in the green grass and the hay, they always had fun. I really like the art too.

A nap in the grass sounds delightful, as does hunting the mousies in fresh hay. Such sweet boys they were.

John Bellen said...

I think the boys found their missing grass in the barn...

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

Just don't be in the grass when the mower is busy out there...

Did you find any mousies?
Petcretary has them in our cellar...and ancient house with cemented rocks for a foundation, and a dirt floor, here we call that a Michigan basement...sigh...
She says UGH, but if she would let us we'd be as good as any kitty helping to evict them...we are terriers afterall, and Dalton isa RAT terrier! LOL!

Mickey's Musings said...

Purrs, Julie

Those boys loved their grass it seems. I bet they have it over the Rainbow Bridge now. How could they not. Your art shows the boys with beautiful ginger furs.

Every kitty and human needs to take time to stop and smell fragrant posies.

That grass was pawsome and the hay must have been a pawsome spot for mousie hunting.

Cool artwork and thanks for the puzzles!

We really like the hay pictures, and the art that goes with them.

Your Angel Boys had a slice of heaven to play in, didn't they?
Lovely art, and I'll jump on those puzzles...thanks.

I think Flynn was checking to see if something was hiding in the flowers. Hunting in the hay sounds fun!

Kathe W. said...

Gosh- I might find it hard to mow the grass away for these darling kitties! Thanks for sharing ! Have a great weekend!

Yvonne said...

What great pics! Love the artwork, too.

Melissa, Mudpie and Angel Truffles (Mochas, Mysteries and Meows) said...

Those precious boys made a beautiful landscape even more stunning!

Angels Eric and Flynn always had the best explorations and places to hand out. Thank you, as always, Jackie, for sharing them with us. XO

In Lucy's memory said...

Boy, looks fun in the long grasses, doesn't it? And certainly a big responsibility keeping an eye out for mousies. I can tell you boys take your jobs very seriously, however Mom's treats also help! Speaking of Mom, her catwork is extra pretty. I hope that Mom and Dad are both well. Until next time...Jean

The J-Cats said...

What a good time they seem to be having! And the art is really beautiful.

Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty said...

Marvelous Marv said...

Gosh! The boys sure had fun in the grass and hay! Purrfect photos, fabulishious art and the puzzles were fun! Thanks Jackie

Mark's Mews (Ayla, Marley, Laz, and Lori) said...

The tall grass is so great for stalking mousies. We like that Dad considered that before cutting it short (as he sometimes had to). We are glad the boys had those tall fields.

TBT keeps a part of our smaller yard wild, just for us to listen, jump, and grab mousies... There is a never-ending supply of them.

Hello, friends! We've missed coming over and seeing all of the flashbacks of Eric and Flynn. We're happy to be visiting again!

Dear Eric and Flynn and their Meowmy, I live now in FloryDa where I don't have access to grass in my yard. It's a Catio with bwicks. So sad. I miss lying in the grass and pretending I'm a ferocious lioness hunting prey. Of course here I hunt frogs and baby dragons, so maybe I still have it good. Love, Dori
