The flashback comes from July 2010 and is called:
Hopper Hunting.
Eric: When it is hot and the grass is dried out, we get lots of grasshoppers.
Flynn: We like to hunt them out but I don't know why I look under the grass mower because they like the sun not the shade. Maybe I will find them under there one day.
Eric: If you see them you have to grab them quick before they hop off again.
Flynn: Hey! Get off my back. I'm meant to be eating you, not giving you a piggy back.

That was fun, especially the hopper hitching a ride! Pretty art too!
ReplyDeleteCheeky little hopper, trying to get away from teeth by hiding on your back. That's a fun post, thank you for joining Feline Friday!
ReplyDeleteDearest Jackie & Ivor,
ReplyDeleteOh, Flynn inspecting the grass mower anyway, they truly were farmland kitties and serious.
LOVE the photo where Flynn got a grasshopper on his back—that face is priceless.
What fun boys to be working with and fond memories forever!
Hugs,
Mariette + Kitties
that hoppers are super fast... we mostly snap hole in the air... happy weekend to you
ReplyDeleteOh my these pictures reminded me of decades ago when I had a cat that lived outside, it used to love to hunt for crickets and grasshoppers. I see your two boys were experts at it. Hope you're feeling well and have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend, Miss Jackie! Question for E & F ... are there hoppers in heaven? Just wondering ... and a Pee Ess: just love the art, especially the first one, really terrific styling of the cats in the grasses, wow!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting! We've never hunted hoppers but #1 says there are a lot in the garden. Maybe they'll come into the cat run.
ReplyDeletePurrs,

Angel Sammy used to hunt/torture (?) grasshoppers but Teddy shows no interest in them. These are such cute photos of your two "Hunters" !!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam
Ha! The grasshopper was clever, to hitch a ride on your back. 😁
ReplyDeleteI don't recall the boys ever getting a grasshopper. Some moles, lots of moths, and even a couple of dragonflies, but no grasshoppers. I wonder if they taste like chicken. 🤔😋
Grasshoppers!
ReplyDeleteWhoa!
Sounds like hopper hunting was a fun time!
ReplyDeleteMOL MOL Hopper hunting...I bet there was a bit of hopping going on too when you saw a field mouse or vole.
ReplyDeleteAs always fun fun fun on Friday
Hugs Cecilia
Fun memories. Did he ever get to eat the one hitching a ride?
ReplyDeleteThose were fun t, hunting for all those hoppers. Sneaky, the hitchhiking one, LOL!

ReplyDeleteKitties Blue: Love both art pieces. Did a grasshopper actually jump on Flynn’s back? We really don’t see many around here until fall. Continuing, Jackie, to keep you in my prayers.

ReplyDeleteFun memories! I wonder if the boys ever caught any hoppers? Mom's catwork is pretty. Hope Mom and Dad are well. You're both in my thoughts. Until next time...Jean
ReplyDeleteOnce a grasshopper got into our condo and Harvey went nuts trying to catch it it took him 3 hours when he finally did,that crunch I heard said Gotcha.
ReplyDeleteA piggy back ride???? Oh no!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your art is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe try to catch the cicadas as they fly by, but maybe we would have better luck with the grasshoppers.

That was a cute flashback. Very nice art. Thank you for the puzzles. I will work on them this weekend. XO
ReplyDeleteThey must've been like bouncy toys for the boys...
ReplyDeleteLovely and enigmatic art, as always. It's amazing how interesting these two can be without seeing their faces.
ReplyDeleteThe colours in your art are always compelling. I am especially drawn to the last one. And Jackie, we hope you're having more good days than bad.
Sounds fun! Lovely art as always.
ReplyDeleteFun little adventure! Great pics.
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! Especially the cheeky hopper hitching a ride from Flynn! :)
ReplyDeleteHunting hoppers is so much fun, but this one on your back was a cheeky one ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteThose Angel Boys were quite the grasshopper hunters, I'd say. As always, their artified antics are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, the boys display their hunting skills!
ReplyDeleteThe grasshopper hitch-hiker made Us laugh!
Lol. I think the grasshopper was planning to hitch a ride all along. :)
ReplyDeleteoh, those hoppers are fast! My boys have no luck catching them. love your first image
ReplyDeleteWe're curious how grasshoppers taste?
