Birthday Loot
Flowers from the farmers’ market:
A beautiful card from the girls:
So true!
The lamp of my dreams. It’s from Monica’s store of fabulosity, and I have longed for it for months. It was well out of my price range, but Lu and Megan chipped in and got it for me! I cried. It’s handmade, with buttons and iridescent beading:
A close-up:
It adds a touch of civilization to the sleeping loft. And it goes perfectly with my duvet cover, seen here, modeled by Henry and June.
Speaking of June: I haven’t seen her all day, and I have to admit to a certain level of anxiety. Unlike most cats, June does indeed come when she’s called – at least, most of the time – and she has never, to my knowledge, let a feeding time go by without paying its due attention. She skipped breakfast, and as I write, I have yet to see so much as her little pink nose or a white paw.
I have called her and looked through the bushes near the house, Junk Alley, and the logging road to no avail. I asked Mark, and he said that she didn’t venture as far as their house, but he’d keep an eye open. I went all the down to my brother’s old house at the very end of the driveway, but nothing.
Given the kitty mortality rate lately (Henry; my friend Dali’s cat Delpi; my niece and nephew’s 18 year old cat Tiffy; and Rose’s lovely old cat Gertie), I can’t help but worry. Think good thoughts that my little June Bug comes home safe and sound. And soon.

Aww!! It’s all so pretty!! That lamp is beautiful. There’s nothing like knowing yours is one of a kind.
June’s probably off adventuring. She’s been outside for a while now and confident enough to wander a bit further. Sometimes we wouldn’t see Tiffy for days and then one morning there she’d be, demanding food.
I agree with Cat……we also missed one of our cats for a couple of days…he was trapped in a neighbour’s garage – the neighbour was away at that time.. Remember that cats have 9 lives…
I like your new lamp…..very nice.
