This cat is bigger than the baby it’s lying beside!
It always amazes me when I see a big fat cat like this! I guess it’s owners have been pampering it and giving it too many meals or snacks. Personally I think it probably needs to be put on Leptovox or a weight loss pill equivalent for cats! LOL
I sure hope that baby’s parents don’t over feed him or her like they did their cat!
Last week I posted a photo of my huge Clematis Jackmanii on my gardening blog.
Each year it grows up from the ground and it’s vines spread out along the fence (with my help) for up to 8 to 10 feet in each direction! In the photo I post the vine was entwined around an old wooden birdhouse. Beautiful.
Here’s a close up of one of the Clematis flowers just after it rained. I love the water droplet at the end of the bottom petal.
Isn’t that lovely?
I think I’ve got an “I hate snow” theme going on my blogs today. Yep, I’ve decided that I’ve had enough of the cold fluffy white stuff and I need some color in my life.
What better than a bright pink Cosmo flower then?
Aw … that’s better. Aren’t Cosmo’s pretty?
I grow this flower in my backyard garden and in the front boulevard during the summer. Everyone seems to love them.
Do you grow Cosmos? Oh and are you getting tired of all the snow lately too?
BTW if you want to see some bright summer color take a look at this cheery daylily!
My ornamental peppers aren’t looking too good these days. I seem to go through this every year.
I keep my ornamental peppers outside in the summer and when it begins to get cool outdoors (October or so) I bring the Ornamental peppers indoors along with several tropical plants and vines to spend winter indoors.
I think my ornamental pepper is still alive, but barely. They should look like this:
I took that photo two years ago during the summer when I had the plant outside.
Oh well … if the pepper dies I can always plant some of the seeds from the dried peppers that I save. I’ve done that before and it always works to create a new plant. Cheating, I know!
Do you grow Ornamental peppers? If they are indoors how do you keep them alive during the winter? I think our problem is that our house faces north and I have so many plants to put in the south facing windows that the pepper might still not get enough light.

“Darn! I thought this chunk of cheese was solid!”
It looks like this little mouse has found the ideal snack. I’ll bet he wishes it were even bigger though!
Mice are smart! I remember when I was a very young kid, we used to go up to our old family farm house in the country. The house had a lot of mice! My parents would set traps for the mice. They’d put a piece of cheese in the traps. Those darn mice were so smart they could get the cheese without setting off the traps.
I can remember sitting in the farm house living room with my family watching the mice literally dance on the traps and then run off with the chunk of cheese. It was quite entertaining, but I imagine my parents were frustrated that they still had a huge mouse problem in the house.
