MAGGIE MAY & BATMAN

Our sweethearts, Maggie May & Batman are all snuggled and cozy and ready for bed. Maggie May's nickname derives from the Rod Stewart song of the same name. Maggie is a little princess and loves human companionship. She loves to cuddle and kiss and can't be left alone.

And Batman, well, Little Bat and his sister were orphaned and left in the cold. The little cat that looked more like a tiny teeny bat fought the odds and lives today with a passion for studying the wildlife in our front yard.

Goodnight Sweehearts♥️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾♥️❤️

MY HOUSE, I SAY...COTTAGE BY THE SEA ~ FORGET-ME-NOT COTTAGE ( WIP/2 )

Yes, this could be my house and mine, said my husband when he looked at my painting this morning. It's still a WIP. I need to finish painting the grass along the path, maybe a couple of doves on the roof and a cat, just like Robert Louis Stevenson wrote about in the poem "My House, I Say."

The Forget- Me- Nots and Tansy are flowers we collected on our trip down east. THE INN AT WHALE COVE COTTAGES, GRAND MANAN ISLAND, NEW BRUNSWICK is a place that will always be dear to me and M. We had such a great time there and, Laura, the Inn Keeper at Whale Cove Cottages, made it extra special for us. This painting, inspired by that special place we stayed at one cold October month in 2017. One day, we shall go back!

MY HOUSE, I SAY 
~ ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON 1850-1894


"My house, I say. But hark to the sunny doves  

That make my roof the arena of their loves,  

That gyre about the gable all day long  

And fill the chimneys with their murmurous song:  

Our house, they say; and mine, the cat declares  

And spreads his golden fleece upon the chairs;  

And mine the dog, and rises stiff with wrath  

If any alien foot profane the path.  

So, too, the buck that trimmed my terraces,  

Our whilom gardener, called the garden his;

Who now, deposed, surveys my plain abode  

And his late kingdom, only from the road."

HAPPY EASTER🐇🐣 A GREAT DAY FOR PAINTING A COTTAGE BY THE SEA 🌊🏡

HAPPY EASTER🐇🐣

A great day for painting a Cottage By The Sea 🌊🏡

COTTAGE BY THE SEA WIP -"I CANNOT COME BECAUSE THAT IS MY HOUR TO BE ALONE."

"But if one says: I cannot come because that is my hour to be alone, one is considered rude, egotistical, or strange. What a commentary on our civilization when being alone is considered suspect; when one has to apologize for it, make excuses, hide the fact that one practices it - like a secret vice!"

It seems to be more than an hour of alone time for me these days, always painting, and thankfully my dear husband doesn't mind and is kind enough to do the family's cooking. Thanks, Stan!!!♥️
Hopefully, the landscape I traveled to once upon a time and visited in my dreams comes to fruition. So far, I like what I see. I know I paint weirdly, although it works for me.

STORY BOOK DAYS THE CRAZY CAT LADY COLORING BOOK

Story Book Days ☆★.٭•:*:•٭.★☆ ☆★.٭•:*:•٭

Every day is a lesson learned. I seriously need to keep a book on computer tech stuff because I tend to forget just about everything I have learned through the years. This morning I searched on creating a watermark and managed to make one in pink for M''s illustration of "E.T." the Cat from the coloring book we are presently working on, "The Crazy Cat Lady Coloring Book".©

We are busy adding coloring pages to our Etsy store every day, working on illustrations, paintings, and writing stories; of course, still working on my snowy quilt, 157 posies from one ball of yarn ( 454g )so far.
"Sleep Walk " ~ is one of several paintings which is part of a story  painted by me

MAGGIE'S SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILES...JUST KIDDING

 BAT'S SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILES, NOT SO SURE IF ALL OF THESE ARE FAKE.😂 

HAPPY CATURDAY!

Looking in From The Outside ~ Que Sera, Sera

When you spy on your three cats while taking out the garbage. 

Karson and Bat watching their crazy human taking out the trash and making crazy eyes.😂

Our Christmas lights, indoors and out are still up and I'm so happy they are. They warm our surroundings and the cats, of course, love sitting under the little indoor trees.

Maggie wondering if I lost it 😂

Throughout the years, after Christmas, I always take note of the lights left on far into the new year by people who like myself follow the tradition and I joke with my husband on what might be their reasons for leaving them on. 

I, tend to leave a little Christmas up all year through because I just don't know... 'The future's not ours to see'.  

I'm Still The Bad Guy😂

Be it Christmas or Halloween, I can't seem to never get enough in one day or a month, therefore, some of my favorite things will inevitably always be out on display to look at and enjoy night and day by all who live inside the walls of this home,  including the cats.

 To me, the world outside looks the same but I know its a photograph that doesn't tell the entire story. I wonder if the cats know. I believe they do, just look into their eyes and they are talking to you.

A Bad Dream

THANK YOU TO OUR VERY MUCH APPRECIATED GARBAGE MEN FOR PICKING OUR TRASH.

Classic old flick♥️

The Old Cat and The Tough Old Bird

Karson, our church cat will be turning 16 years old this coming May 3rd, which makes him about 104 years old in humans years? 

When I think of growing old, I think of a few quotes I read some time ago. 
There's this one by Richard Gere

'Do not regret growing older, It's a privilege denied to many.' ~ Richard Gere 

Appreciating old age and keeping healthy both in body and mind as best I can, these days I try to limit myself from news feeds and often escape to places where I can have happy thoughts. My husband, daughter and I have taken up the routine of tuning in every afternoon to Ricky Gervais's live Twitter videos, they make us laugh and that's a good thing. 

It's wise to keep informed just so you know where you stand but too much information I have come to realize makes me not feel very good. Finding that happy place is necessary to keep one's sanity and avoid becoming increasingly depressed and sick.

A happy place for me is watching the old movie flicks. Maybe I can coax hubby and daughter to watch this one more time...lol

SOME LIKE IT HOT 




Here is a clip from Some Like it Hot on TCM channel / Facebook

♥️ Three-quarters of a century-old and he is still an adorable pussycat.♥️

Josephine: Well, there they are. More millionaires than you can shake a stick at.
Sugar: I'll bet there isn't one under seventy-five.
Josephine: Seventy-five. That's three-quarters of a century. Makes a girl think.
Sugar: Let's hope they brought their grand-sons along. 

Karson, his furry paw on my hand, love❣️😺

 No matter your age, inside you are still young. Life in all it's imperfections is still beautiful. And the human spirit never dies. I think I can still work on becoming that tough old bird.
