Holding On To Summer.

I'm clinging to the last days of summer. Enjoying my favorite bird feeder(s). Pink paper lanterns (they light up at night!) A cute flower pot even though it's empty! Sweet succulents (who knew I'd find PINK ones?) The curly details of my pink metal lanterns. Birds. . . fake, yet so cute!) Our sweet porch cat, Rex. He's my faithful morning friend.He loves sitting under the shade or our PINK umbrella. Uh oh, Rex sees something. . . .A yellow finch. . .real, and so cute! The same cute finch! Hard to believe he let me continue taking photos! I took at least a dozen! Sipping coffee (lots of cream and sugar, please!) in a pretty cup and saucer I purchased at a tag sale in Montana. When my coffee is coupled with a set of sticky page markers that can mean only one thing. My Cath Kidston Catalog just arrived in the mail! Look at all the pages I marked! Here's a preview of all the cute things inside! Oooooo...... Ahhhhhh...... So cute...... Dreamy. . . . . Back to school! Sew adorable. . . . I'd do more ironing if. . . . . Pink florals and more! I'd cook more if. . . . . I'd enjoy washing dishes if. . . . Okay, time to stop dreaming. My son is awake and wants to play Legos!

Pink Cat?

I love PINK so much, even my cat is PINK! Well, Rex only looks PINK from the reflection of my tablecloth. After much prayer for a cat, our feline friend arrived several years ago in our backyard wild, afraid, hungry and ailing from an eye infection. Now, Rex is calm, confident, always full (diluted half and half is his favorite treat!) and healthy.

We must be careful what we pray for! This is Sylvester. Last year, he arrived at our front door begging for food (diluted half and half is his favorite treat, too!) Now, we have 2 adopted cats, one for the front yard, and one for the back yard!

Rex

Rex is our adopted male cat. Poor thing. I loved this shabby pink basket soooo much, it didn't matter that Rex may not like so many pink flowers on his bedding! Like most cats, in the beginning, he refused to relax in his new bed. It took only one rainy day for Rex to escape the cold and jump into his new, albeit pink , soft bed. Rex sleeps outside on these hot summer nights, but with autumn around the corner, Rex will soon be resting in his shabby pink basket once again!
