After two days in a row of rain and clouds, I awoke this morning to brilliant blue sunny skies, so I finally made good on my wish to visit the Tucson Botanical Gardens. I was especially interested in their Butterfly Garden, which is toted as “one of the best butterfly houses in the country” on their webpage.
He is handsome and dignified.
He is calm, sedate even, and extremely well balanced.
He never over-indulges in catnip.
I think my crochet cactus turned out kind of cute, and as an up side, I think even I can keep this one alive. I mean, I might have to wash it now and then but I can skip the fertilizing! I have three more patterns with different amigurumi cactus to make – I’ll have a whole yarn garden!
A new critter on Cat TV has been teasing Nekoka. But don’t let his intent demeanor fool you – Nekoka is petrified of the out of doors. I crack open that door and he’s under my bed way before the squirrel even blinks.
What could be causing his sorrow?
Gee, I wonder.
It is monsoon season here in Tucson, Arizona, and I must say I’m enjoying the dramatic weather changes that brings. I mean, as much as I love the seemingly never-ending stream of sunny days, I find I’ve missed actual, well, weather. You know, like clouds and rain and such. So it is good to know that there is a season here where it does get cloudy, and it has even rained! Four times so far that I’ve personally witnessed, and two of them were pretty heavy (the other two times, well, if there were at least enough water drops to be noticeable on my front window, that counted as rain).
When it seems too quiet. And don’t let Bandit’s innocent little face fool you. I’m sure he was responsible for his share of that pile.
One of the down sides of working from home is, I cannot WAIT to get out of my computer room at the end of the work day, and it is harder and harder to go in there for enjoyment… like the enjoyment I get sharing on my blog. Hence the rare nature of my posts any more. Which sort of blows because I really miss blogging! I think I need to seriously look at finding a local job before I go completely bat crazy. I mean I’m anti-social by nature, and working from home pretty much guarantees I hardly ever ever ever get out of the house and talk to real people.
Nekoka likes the fact that I’m spending more time off the computer and reading on the couch or my bed. He lets me know this by lying butt-first on my face. Sigh.
