Society of Feline Gardeners- Thursday in the Garden with Jonesie

 ::Meowwww::

 

I've been enjoying the dry warm days of late summer.  The weather has been purrfect!  Mom picked some of the basil I grew and she made a batch of pesto.  She thanked me since it wouldn't have been possible without my garden paw and tender loving care.

 

Which brings me to a point...

 You may have read the nonsense posted by my brothers earlier this week, all claiming to be mom's favorite.   I hate to burst their bubble, because I'm nice that way, but I know the truth.

 

Mom loves ME best!  Not that I like to brag or anything. I'm a rather modest cat and I don't much like the attention.  I prefer to be low key.  My purr is tender and sweet.  You may not know this but I too sing to toys in the middle of the night.  It's not just Cory.  I don't sing opera, but I sing light pop...very sweet and not very complicated.

 I love my garden and all the plants and bugs and trees and grass all love me.  I spend my days in the garden, but come in before dark.  I play a game with mom and dad and I pretend I don't want to come in.  I let them chase me for a few seconds and then I flop and make them carry me inside.  I would hate to spend the night outside. 

 

I was homeless once and I know what it feels like to be alone in the dark.  I hated it.

 

So not only does my mom love me best, my dad loves me best and the best of all?  Grete loves me best too!  As my good pal Alfie Marshall would say...Fact!

Thursday- Not In The Garden With Jonesie

::purrr::

Hello there furry friends and Garden Society Members.  I've been pretty much stuck inside the house and out of my garden.  My neck is still recovering from itchies and I can't wear my pink collar and pink tag until I'm all healed up.  If I can't wear my id tag, I can't go out.  Even if I am microchipped. That's what mom says.  I go back to the v-e-t Thursday afternoon for a checkup to make sure I'm ready to go back out in my garden when the weather gets a bit better.

Don't you worry about me. As your Society of Feline Gardeners Purresident, I've got lots I can do to keep up with important business.  I've been spending time on my dad's chair surfing the net for news our club members can use.

With the Solstice happening on the 21st, my mom was all happy and stuff.  She was saying the light is returning!  You know what I meowed?  "Not so fast"!  I've been googling and according to my research, we actually don't get another minute of daylight until Christmas Day!!!  Whoa.  My paws clicked on to a website that shows the sunrise and sunset tables for anywhere in the world!  Now how useful is that to us, since we have Society members all over the world!

So you can check it out for yourselves.  I told mom that the extra minute of sunlight on the 25th is Santa's gift to us.

Meanwhile, I can hardly wait to get out in the garden.  I'm really not missing much this time of year since it's been so rainy and soggy.  I was daydreaming of last year when Ginger and I patrolled the garden waiting for Santa.  We hope he doesn't mind the mud and rests a bit in our garden once again.

 Purring that Santa Paws is good to each and every one of you!
