Doodads — kitties and incense

Dotty n Mlady on the couch 20240102_180610

Yesterday, Mlady and Dotty were sleeping peacefully on the couch (the mini-split blows directly on it) and they looked so cute I decided to snap a pic.  Of course, Dotty woke up and said what’s the haps, my peep?

Here’s an especially cute one of Mlady trying to charm me so I pet her.  Could you resist?

A couple of days ago one of the apple trees was full of cardinals.  They came and went and this is just a few of them.

After seeing the incense pic, I tried to take one of my own.  You can see the burning tip but not the smoke.  The purple comes from a diffuser that also has multiple light settings on it.

  1. Aw, your furry babies are cute. And, yes, cats do know how to charm. Our cat ladies are very close – literally. They often sleep right next to each other like they’re snuggling. :-)

      So good to know they are buddies, Christian. I see a lot of cats do chum up with each other. Both of my cats came from the shelter and they recommended each be one cat homes. When I saw Dotty curled up for a year and not getting adopted I decided to take a chance.

  2. I can see the smoke, barely but I see it. At first glance I thought the incense stick looked like a light pole.🤭 Ever heard the saying “cardinals appear when angels are near”? I always loved that. Mlady and Dotty are adorable.

      I’m not giving up on a good shot of the incense. I should edit the photo and draw a tiny Gene Kelly in there ;) Yes, I have heard that saying. It’s one my mom loved and believed it. Believe it or not I thought, my mom has come to visit and brought some of our relatives with her <3 Thanks on Mlady and Dotty. They are pleasant company.

    Mlady and Dotty look so content and cozy. I love seeing cardinals at any time, but especially in winter.

      Yes, they spend most of their day sleeping and mob me when I sit down on the couch for first cuppajoe and later when I watch movies. The cardinals love it here, with so many other birds. Easy pickins at the bird feeders :)

      Thanks, Max. Yes, she is! Thanks for asking. I think it was the new footstool and the bladder issue. Since she got the shot, I moved the footstool out of the room, and she has started running on her wheel regularly, it has been great.

                On a side note…we have a virtual VM die today and I probably won’t comment until this afternoon or tonight at the earliest. I’m also picking Bailey up…so it is a busy day

                  Max, not sure what virtual VM is. Yes, sounds like a busy day! Take it easy on the roads. We’re getting snow that’s been falling all day here. May be icy where you’re at? TTYL!

                    Well that was redundant! It’s a server in the cloud…”Virtual Machine” so I told you basically…Virtual Virtual Machine lol.
                    I just picked up Bailey and we did drive through a little sleet….nothing was sticking though.

                      Aha, get the VM back in operation? Glad Bailey made it back from across the ocean. We got hit with a pretty big snowstorm yesterday. Today the heavy snow is weighing the trees down again. Had to get out there with the rake and rake off what I could reach on the pine boughs over the driveway. We had a power outage this morning but thankfully only for a couple of hours.

                      Yes it is and I’m dealing with some fallout but it’s simple…
                      You are making me jealous! That sounds so great. We have snow in the forecast for Monday… I sure hope it does!
