Thank you, Dr. Peterson and Mr. Murphy for speaking the truth. Amazing conversation!
Go to Sleep, Darlings... “I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields It covers them snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, Go to Sleep, Darlings, till the summer comes again.” Lewis Carroll

THOMASINA, COME ALONG WITH ME NOW AND LETS PLAY DRESS-UP. π»
“It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.” ~ L.M. Montgomery
And so, on this note, I will keep the happy thoughts up-front.
Yesterday, I shared a photograph of our cat Elliott dressed up as granny. It's an old photo of our pet cat dating back to 2003 when M discovered a new game to play with her cat. At first, I thought she was tormenting Elly but it turned out watching him getting dressed didn't bother him in the least, he loved the attention, he just sat there, happy, content to be with his best friend and who knows, perhaps it reminded him of a past life.
It's not surprising then, to see Bat and Maggie today enjoying the dress-up game, that's if M abides to their rules of the game. ππ
Bat with M wearing his pink tutu, though it was more like a blanket it was so big on him. As a baby, Bat was always cold and shivering and M made sure he was always kept warm. I think it's why now he's ok with wearing clothes. And M, well she reminds me of Mary in the movie.lol
Brother and Sister Cats, Bat and Maggie
Bat is a natural when it comes to modeling, Maggie, on the other hand, is just waiting for her special of the day.π π
Some cats will love the game and others not at all, we're lucky ours do. Remember, if you are going to play dress-up with a cat, ask them first.
You know when he gives you that look to back off! "Not today, dear girl."
Every day is Halloween in our house and I must say, we all enjoy what wonderful comedians these cats can be.
So, back to the photograph of granny, it was the bonnet and pajamas which gave thought to a gal, who left me a message on Flickr saying how much Elly's photo reminded her of the granny from the fairytale Little Red Riding Hood and so I shared it like that but later on looking at the original photo without the drawn in specs I thought of a movie I loved way back when I, myself was a little girl......Tomasina

A movie so precious to this day, filled with magic and a cat called Tomasina who teaches us much about life.
It took me a while to write down the lyrics to the song you hear at the beginning of the movie.
I couldn't find them anywhere online but I believe them to be accurate.Here you go, have fun singing along to this cute kitty cat song.

Elly, what are you thinking now?
And at the park ...Elly, what are you thinking now?

Thomasina Song ~ listen here
Music and Lyrics by Terry Gilkyson
Performed by Robie Lester
Who is the most self-reliant animal made since the world began? Who can be the most defiant animal known to the world of man? Born with emerald eyes, so cold, so warm, so wise. Within her kingdom lies the world's arena. Do we need to ask more than that? You must know now, it's a cat. But a very important cat at that whose called, Thomasina.
Thomasina, what are you thinking now? Thomasina, what makes you so high brow?
For I do think of it very odd if you are an Egyptian God, that the wee little mouse runs in and out his house each time you blink or nod. Thomasina, though you may love to roam. Thomasina, don't go too far from home. There are beasties in the garden who would never accept your pardon. If you left the jungle yard in which we play. Thomasina, don't ever run away.

Thomasina, come along with me now.
Thomasina
There you seen our little bird leave the bough. Thomasina
Even if it's a lark or dove you let them all fly away above you but I guess that always love you anyhow.
Thomasina, come along with me now.
Thomasina, I love you anyhow.
Thomasina
Yes, I am Thomasina this story is all about me.
I am a self-made cat.
The Three Lives of Thomasina ~ watch the movie Here
Thomasina 1963 Starring Patrick McGoohan who plays the vet, Mary his daughter played by Karen Dotrice is owned by Thomasina The Cat, and Susan Hampshire might just be a witch! You will find plenty of magic here for the whole family. This is definitely a keeper.♥️

Maggie and Bat
Still got paid ππ
You must respect when they are in self-absorbed reflection, just use their portraits and create some very funny cat people with a program of your choice.
Bat as The Little Naughty Boy in the Corner
Bat as Girl Friday
Maggie in character as Jessica Fletcher
in Murder, She Wrote
Maggie as The Black Swan
Cats are Creative Creatures
They sometimes paint, love fashion, watch tv and like watching you paint.
They never bore and always find something to do. They can teach you a thing or two.
Elliott and Karson
Sleeping together all cozy as can be
Karson, The Church Cat
It was during the blessing of the animals at church one Sunday when one of our parishioners brought in a basket filled with kittens, one of them, Karson. My daughter was completely taken aback. I'm sure it was her favorite Sundays at church.
Together watching the Birds, Bunnies, and Squirrels
And here, being two Gladys Kravitzes on Bewitched watching κͺκ« the neighbor's every move . π
Bat in quarantine as
tHE pINK pANTHER
Keep Happy Thoughts, play games, watch movies, be creative, paint, write, knit, crochet, make a little music, they're all good for the soul. Still haven't taken the country walk so that's long overdue.
Happy Thoughts, folks! Go Team Canada!
OH, THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO SEE THIS!
My cats watching a Disney movie about a cat, how precious is that?
As usual, every morning I'm surrounded by my three cats. As soon as I sit down on the couch with my coffee and computer the cats will come.
Maggie will sit on my lap and go back to sleep, Karson the old boy doses off to sleep next to my leg and Bat enjoying his spacious spot at the end of the couch, oblivious to the world around him falls once again back to sleep. But it was a little different on this particular morning. I was working on a post about the game of dress-up my daughter and her cats enjoy playing. I was watching The Three Lives of Thomasina and as soon as the song began to play, so were the two cats Karson and Maggie, now wide awake watching the movie. Bat, well he was still out like a light. I just had to record the two cats. The moment was just so darn cute, their heads moving back and forth following Thomasina and obviously enjoying the song.

Teacher's Pet ππ»
So, Bat is the Teacher's Pet
Bat is such a cutie here promoting Social Distancing and this movie came to mind I had seen years ago starring Clark Gable and Doris Day, Teacher's Pet. Watch this scene, so funny. An oldie but a good one.
p.s. This is my little escape, posting silly things I love. It seems to be working for me at the moment and hopefully for you who reads this post.
Take care and stay safe πππ»π¨π¦

WYCHWOOD & THE MAGIC COTTAGE
WYCHWOOD & THE MAGIC COTTAGE
For me,there is nothing more peaceful than being alone surrounded by the silence of nature, uninterrupted,with a mind free to wander and think all sorts of things.
Sometimes paintings will have the same effect on me without me ever leaving home for truly I am an introvert at heart. Looking into the watercolour field of this old painting someone long ago had painted instantly brought me back to the place I once lived as a young girl.
I believe I was 16 at the time when my dad was offered 2 teaching jobs, one in Ottawa and one in Bermuda, he chose Ottawa and my life had it's coordinates set . The little cottage in the woods of Wychwood my father discovered in Aylmer, Quebec couldn't have been more delightfully Spooky filled with mystery and strange occurrences of which I will write about in later stories. Wychwood or like my friends and I fondly called it, Witchwood was magical; a secluded spot hidden from the world, forgotten. Sadly, today everybody knows : )
We settled in a tiny white cottage steps away from the Ottawa River and many of the cottages including ours were surrounded by fragrant White Pines, one of my very favourite trees. My years there weren't the happiest, my parents split and the dream house my dad built next to the tiny cottage had to be sold but out of the stormy days there was one very cold night in September 1976, when my friend Diana and I ventured to town to the local pub,The British Hotel which still stands there today.
On that chilly night I took a motorcycle ride of my life with a tall skinny fellow from Val D'Or,Quebec, who later became my husband !Thirteen years later to the day of our meeting our son, Ty was born. Back when I lived in Wychwood I may have not been cognizant of it's magic but today I know just how special a place it was and still is .....for me!
