Happy 7th Birthday, Autumn!

Seven years ago today, a mom and a dad, two grandmas, and various medical helpers watched baby Autumn make her appearance. Babies are special and sweet, and oh what a delight to watch them grow and develop their own personalities!

Happy 7th birthday, Autumn!

Personality, fashion style, dreams, hopes, and plans. It’s a good day to be 7.

Haiku Moment: survey my catdom

thinking kitty thoughts

lo! who goes there? it’s all mine;

be gone, trespasser

survey my catdom

fleece regalia is just right,

the queen on her throne

Haiku Moment: land, hop, walk

land, pause, freeze, and look

what’s a bird to do? can’t move

winter’s sticky tape

hop, hop, hop-three jumps

and you are there, discover

snowy hidden treats

different bird tracks;

walk, waltz, snoop: toes in, toes out

winter hides the food


land, hop, walk
