Prayers in the wind of the world.

Prayer flags in the wind carry prayers around the world for many more days like this, as they unravel in the breeze. Yesterday Kath came and gave Maurice two injections and today his breathing was better and mischief reigned in his bones as he raced birds up the tree and soaked the sunshine deep into ginger fur.

Lessons from cats who are good at climbing trees

Concerned for the children, climbing in the tree to build their nest of twigs, we thought it best to give them a climbing lesson......

....or two.

Hide and seek

In the wind tangled corn field, and on the high rock above the blue sea, we played hide and seek.

Wild geese fly over head, like arrows in the sky. Swallows gather on wires. Rosehips glow red in the garden and the last of the honeysuckle cascades in a waterfall of flowers. Spiders spin last desperate webs to catch the fading flies of summer and bats fly frantic in twilight. Soon it will be time to light the first fire of autumn.

While She is away,

the cats will play. Hide and seek, and Pixie went away to hide while Kiffer counted to three.

All around the garden, then Kiff gave up looking and there on the bench in the sunshine, found a ginger paw.

Found you!

Next to find Maurice and Elmo helped too.

But though Elmo looked under the tent there was no sign of his big brother.

But Kiffer knew better for he heard the sound of a whisker brushing canvas as Maurice smiled to see Elmo walk away, and Kiffer bounced.
"Found you".

"Ouch," said Maurice. "That Kiffer is one big cat!"
