Since Goldie did a summer post, I thought I should get to too. These are some photos from a lovely afternoon in early September.



A nice hug from the wee lass.





This is a photo of our poor bedraggled veggie garden. Since the PM was only here for about two weeks this summer, the garden was swamped with weeds. She was supposed to lay down some permanent paths but that didn't happen. She is quite upset with it and plans to spend next year just clearing weeds. She even had started a blog for her gardening/creative pursuits but she'll have to work on that too next Spring.

Oh well, more blogging time for us!!

We are having a quiet Thanksgiving Day. The PM and the wee ones went down to the cottage for the day yesterday but we stayed here. Goldie was hoping for some nice turkey or ham for lunch but as usual, this strange stuff came out.



Goldie actually gave one piece a lick but went to sleep on the window ledge disgusted. He said if he stuck his head near the screen and inhaled deeply, he could smell faint broiled fowl from across the field.



I ended up going outside for a little walk.



This is actually what our garden looks like now. Goldie posted some pics in a previous post of garden blooms but they were from August when we made it back home from the city.




I love the Autumn colours, they go very well with my fur.

Since we have been back, I keep looking out for my fox friends but they are gone. Right after the cougar appeared, the foxes moved into the berm in our front yard. Guess they felt safer being close to the house. They only stayed two nights though then moved on to the deep woods.
The PM was sad to see then go as she loved watching the wee kits grow. She knows it is much safer for them this way though.

The evening they were in the berm, a kit and the vixen were out in the yard and the PM got this little video. She's glad she did as they were gone in the morning. The mom keeps looking towards their den in the back field, wary of the big cat's return.

I have to say the city had some exciting moments. Watching dawgs walking right in front of the house and snooping around in a new place but I was very happy when we finally arrived back to our home in the woods.

The PM took me out on my lead to check things out.

YUM! Some catmint, my fav.

I checked out some of the plants in bloom.

I didn't get too close to this fella!

When the evening had cooled off I headed upstairs to check out the great things we had received from Sei-Chan, Tama-Chan and Tom.



I was just getting into the thick of things when I kept getting rudely interupted.



This was one thing I hated about being in the city. Every once in awhile these trucks and cars would come zooming by screaming with flashing lights. Very hard on a cat's nerves. The PM explained to me that they were safety vehicles that went to help people who were in trouble or hurt.

I think if I was hurt and then saw these loud flashing beasts speeding towards me, I'd go from bad to worse pretty quick. I think what they need are quiet soft flying contraptions that could fly fast but were very gentle and soothing when they picked you up. Not these nerve jangling metal monsters. These would also supply ham on demand.

We are finally back! There was great debate whether to simply get a new keyboard or buy a new Mac. What is on the wish list is pretty pricey so a keyboard it is until this one truly dies. Then we had trouble with the new one but it seems OK now.

Anyway, back to the important things in life... us!

I wanted to share with you a very cool thing that the PM did while she was away on the Island. Not only did the PM meet lots of critters, she also met up with some fellow cat bloggers.

She spent the afternoon at #1 from The Poupounette's cottage where she also met Ms. C from Tabby Normal

It was a wonderful time of chatting, stories, food and wine! They hope to do it again next year. I think us felines should be invited next time.

The PM received this great gift from Ms. C.





I was annoyed that I could not actually eat that shiny fish. The PM then pulled out a gift bag. More people stuff that I can't touch or eat??



She then read the tag.



Yippee!!! A gift from our friends!! How exciting!! Goldie and Shade were too hot and were in the basement so I got to open it!



Smells delightful!



Fev-vers!!!!!!



More fun toys.





Treats too!



Excuse me while I give this a good goin' over!!!!
