What it looks like this year, a faun and Whiskers

- Another photo from last Sunday morning.  The couple who belong to this property have always worked very hard on making their side yard look beautiful.  (Click to enlarge.)   I've seen them out there year after year.  Quite beautiful on this day.

- At the Greenway trail last Saturday morning (early - about 8am), a faun ventures out of the woods to the left there, beyond the wooden area.  It stands there a moment and then realizes the women looking at it aren't its mother and darts back into the woods.  A man out running approaches and says, "That made it worth coming out here this morning!"

- No photo of this:  the gray tabby cat in the antique shop around the corner is sleeping on a settee, but looks up at me as I pass and stretches.  He jumps down and weaves in and out of my legs, then stands on his hind legs and stretches up to put his front paws on me.  The shop owner says, "He wants you to pick him up for a cuddle, but you don't have to."  Of course I want to.  He purrs and purrs and walks me to the door as I leave.

Animals remind us of all the Beauty there is in their world....Both these stories are so very sweet...I miss having a cuddle with a dear sweet cat...And it's been a while since I have seen the Deer up here. I use to see them all the time--little family's----when I was able to go out and about.

'Tis certainly a beautiful, lush area there where you live, Lynn.

The warmth shown by animals help make one's day. :)

I think having a shop cat must be lovely. :)

Joanne -

It was adorable.

Talon -

Thank you - it was sweet!

I think so, too. I do miss having a cat, too. I found out that I was allergic to my cats after I had them, so when my sweet little cat Sophie died three years ago, I decided she would be the last one. I breathe easier now at home, but I miss them so much.

Sherry -

Welcome! And thank you.

Lee -

It is and especially after all this rain.

Such a lush n beautiful side garden! TG no drought there this year. Wow, nice baby deer appearance pic on the greenway walk- I've seen so few here. Some animals can spot a kind person for friendship right off- Most Antique shops here have closed. None left in my village now-.
