Autumn, exhibitions and a reading of bears.

Gingercat, where a cat should be, on a lap! By Amanda Popham.

For the past week or so She has been so busy, and always on the computer, on something called Facebook, Her website, another blog, that we have not been able to get out gingery paws onto the key board. And to add insult to injury She went away and left us to make an exhibition of Herself in England! She is a bad Cat's Mother.

And what have we been doing? We have been watching birds gather to fly to warm places, sitting beneath the rose bush that hangs with shining hips, following the leaves that begin to tumble from trees, for if you catch a falling leaf then you can have a wish. We have been stalking the stars in thegarden by night and seeing the moths dance in delight, hunted by bats. And we have been listening to Her reading a story about a boy and a bear.
 
 
Soon it will be time for the lighting of the first fires of winter. There is wood in the woodshed, great piles of dry logs where we sometimes sit to watch as mice run through the tunnels between logs. But for now there are still warm days with autumn sunshine and our fur which glows like flames.

A lovely piece of work by Amanda Popham... and how perrrrfect for you!

I had my first fall fire in the wood stove last night, all day I was cold, but holding off. Finally, when Pasha kitty came in and curled up in front of the cold hearth and stared, I got the message. Finally, I was warm. Sometimes it takes the begging of cats.

Autumn in the country is a wonderful time for cats. It is much better, of course, if their humans are spending much time in the garden with them.
Each catly update is cherished, as you are part of my "extended family" of felines.

Aw. Somebodies need a cuddle. At least your mommie isn't after you with the scissors all the time trying to cut the mats out of your fur. I fixed her, though. Woke her up too early this morning ralphing up the biggest hairball on the rug in the bedroom. hehehe!
rubs to all from Gobi.

The story, paintings and reading were all so beautiful. What lovely talent is shown in the Ice Bear.

You may be missing her but look at the wonders she has to share with us. And you are never far from her thoughts and always in her dreams. I would bet on that!
