Thursday In The Garden With Jonesie

Meow!  Welcome back to my garden.
This is a good time of year in the garden.  The grass is growing more slowly, everything is planted, so we have more time to sit around and enjoy it all.  My pears are starting to become pears.  Sometimes the apples and pears will drop from the tree, so we have to watch out to make sure they don't drop on our furry little heads.

Snoopervising Figaro is not as easy as it looks.  He's a quick study, but he's still a kitten. 
I helped mom and dad find a wasp nest way up high in the tree.  I meowed until they noticed!  You might have to biggify the picture to see it.  I won't climb up and swat it down. No way!  I think they will call in the pros to deal with it.

As promised for Dante, here is a dahlia.  This because he was saying he's not purrone to dalliances in his garden last week, but he loves dahlias! 

Below we have a mystery plant!  See if you can guess what it is.  My mom and dad had no idea and tried to figure it out on their own.  Even I as a garden cat couldn't figure it out.  It's because we have so many volunteer plants in our yard.  I think the birdies and squirrels are secretly helping me!   If you give up, you can check out the link here.  Dad had to go to the garden center and they told him what it is!

I made sure I was entertaining Grete, keeping an eye on her this week.  She's still bummed out about Bear-Bear. 

I watch out for Grete and Grete watches out for me.  She's a good woofie.

Word of the Day on Wednesday

It's that time of year my furriends.  The basil is beautiful.

The garlic is harvested.

Yes, it's that time. 
 It's time to put the pest in pesto!!!
Yum!

Tabby Tattletale Tuesday

As you probably already know I've been giving Figaro belly exposure lessons.

Yes, I'm a pro.  I plan on entering myself in the 2012 CatOlympics.  My specialty is belly exposure with paws extended.   
Figaro has been trying to keep up with me, but he's got a ways to go.  See how I extend one paw, with my hind paws all curled up and cute?

The side pause roll keeps everyone guessing what I will do next.  Will I complete the roll, or just stay here like this while everyone admires me?
It's the lazy days of summer my furriends.  Not much to gossip about right now if you can believe that.

Momma Meezer Monday

Grete woofie is sad.  She heard about what happened to Bear-Bear in a dog park in Maryland.  Ever since she heard the news she's been in a funk.
I've tried cheering her up, doing mousie immitations, whatever I can think of, but it's not working.  I've promised her we are purring for justice for Bear-Bear.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is just be there.
