There are times when Grant will call me to “Come quickly!” to a window or out to the garden. This day, he was excited about the clouds and contrails.

Somehow I pushed a wrong button on the camera and ended up in a mode I didn’t want. After which the photos wouldn’t download, though the two were not related.
Just one more small thing to annoy me.

Then I chastised myself. How can I allow such insignificant annoyances irritate me?


How can I sit here writing inane, insignificant scribblings, when so many dreadful things are happening, every day, by the hour?


So I sat here and wrote what I felt.
Which was decidedly grim, so best not to “share” it.

Instead, I’ll show you what Thimphu “sent” me, on the anniversary of his death, ten years ago.
Remember, a few days ago, I said that after I lost him, so suddenly, hearts began to “show up”…
This is not quite a heart, perhaps. It’s all in the perspective:


A black walnut shell that I found in the grass. I have always regarded owls as special too.
Either way, it came on that day. No, I really don’t think it is a message.

Thimphu was so tiny. When he reached 1 pound, it was cause to celebrate.


Timmy was with me for 8 such short years. He was a very special birthday present.
My first Himalayan, Yeti had been a very special Christmas present, 18 years before.
All of my cats have always had their own special place in my heart.
Your musing on many subjects and the brilliant photos, Carolyn, is a very much-needed distraction from the bad things happening daily in the world! Keep on distracting!
I love the hearts, messages or not…

Small things irritate me too. I like to think it because I am sensitive, and rather sophistticated! 🙂 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
That must be it!
I like the blue-blue sky with patches of white puffs of clouds … as well as your colourful flowers! Oh my, what a tiny kitty and just so adorable!
