Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week it is two short posts both from June 2010.

The first was originally an Easy Like Sunday.

It is so hot we are just lying around everywhere. Even the cool earth isn't really cool.

I prefer to lie in the border with mum's new bedding plants that she just put in.

What do you mean, I'm flattening them?

The next one was called Picnic.

It has been so hot that we didn't even have the energy to go indoors for our supper, so mum brought it out to us. It was like having a picnic.


I am joining Athena, the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art.


For Eric I used Flowers at 40%, then Grey at 30%.


For Flynn it was Abstract at 55%, then Beauty at 50%.

    Ha! I could just imagine Eric going to the bedding plants and just flopping over...

    But of course I have to lie right where the plants are, that's where you were digging and it's nicer there!

    A picnic sounds good, but it's already too hot here.

    Thank you for linking up with Feline Friday!

    A picnic - now there's an idea we haven't thought of. It was beautiful here today and dinner on the deck would have been ideal. We are going to file that idea for another day.

    Beautiful art.

    Dearest Jackie,
    What lovely images you share here of Eric and Flynn.
    They were so much loved and cared for—even by catering a special picnic outdoors.
    So heartwarming to see kitties being loved that much and sorry for the 'dented' plants...
    Hugs,
    Mariette + Kitties

    It must have felt cool lying on the cold dirt

    Rolling around on bare dirt is allus good. We are glad they enjoyed it. And it bothers fleas too. Not that they had any of course. "Just in case", though!

    Nice picnic. TBT says he will do that soon.

    You boys were really testing the soil and weeding around the plants, right? I'd say you were both excellent gardeners. 😸

    Dining al fresco, what a treat!

    You always have to have help finding out of the soil conditions are good for planting flowers. It seemed like it was as hot as that here a few days ago and it was, but now we're having what is called BlackBerry winter. Not as cold as normal which is with frost or freeze but it certainly has been soaking wet and not pretty. Those boys certainly looked handsome.

    Picnics are always fun, especially when you don't have to do any of the food prep.
    Lovely art, and I'll puzzle soon...thanks.

    Such a sweet post. But then, they all are. The boys look like they really enjoyed their picnic! Mom's catwork is very nice. Hope Mom and Dad are both well. Until next time...Jean

    The boys' picnic memory is really special, as was Angel Flynn's laying on, er, helping with Mom Jackie's bedding plants.

    Mummy says She can't remember it being so hot in England when She was a girl - Is it Memory, or is it climate change?

    We think you boys had your ears to the ground waiting to hear the stirrings of mice! So you took a little snooze, too ...
