Squirrel scrutinizing

Yes, by golly, it is a slow day here at Purling Oaks. Here are Fuzzle (stretched out), White Dot, and Black Dot observing a local squirrel who, once again, is emptying the bird feeder. The cats make very interesting noises when they watch the birds or the squirrels.

I am on about day two of a cold. My cold. Drats. Darn air travel, doorknob, or whatever! I'm hesitant to do anything crafty since my brain may be about as clear as the rest of my head. I just finished reading Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold. I really enjoyed the book especially since the protagonist is a middle-aged (for the storyline) woman. Often the female heroine is a young and fit twenty-something. It is nice to have a different model presented.

Make washcloths or plain scarves. It's easy with a cold. Ask me how I know. :D

Although sitting on the couch, reading and watching wildlife sounds like a wonderful day.

Love the cat gallery!! And I can't wait to see that bag.

You'll love this - my new favorite yarn store has on display a beautiful black felted bag adorned with hundreds of colorful bobbles. The owner insisted that I take it down from the shelf and look inside - and lo, the lining had been painstakingly embroidered in a coordinating pattern of fingering-weight wool. Not one speck of the lining fabric was showing through. It was a true work of art.

Feel better!

How about a nap with a cat or two? Who needs to knit? ;^)

You really do have a two headed cat! I know the weird noise cats make when they look at birds or squirrels. Maybe that noise could be turned into a cell phone ring tone.

Who needs TV? Hope you're feeling better. I read Ian McEwan's Atonement during my cold and not only do I feel better, but I am on track with my book club.

I always love watching the cat watch something outside. Ours isn't too interested in squirrels but birds and bunnies. Hope you are feeling better!
