Poetic Thankful Thursday

 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats



Today's photo prompt is

The Tired Parents

The floor is a canvas, toys strewn all around,
As chaos reigns supreme, in each room it's found.
From crayons on walls to spills on the floor,
Their home is a canvas, messy, and more.

Today is also Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!


Mom wasn't right but she did guess correctly on the Tuesday Teaser and got this fun badge!

The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky


 Periwinkle nervously paced back and forth in front of the Teleportation Tunnel.  She hoped Stinky would enjoy their day together even though she only had a couple of things planned.  As always, she checked her furs to make sure she looked as nice as possible before Stinky's arrival.  The familiar rumble and WOOSH sent him flying right into her waiting paws.  The tabbies spent some time whisker kissing and paw patting and catching up on the previous week when, as expected, Stinky asked what the plan was for the day.  

"I have a couple things planned for today but first we're heading to the beach so I can show you the beach restoration.  There are all kinds of big trucks and machinery that I thought you would like to see as long as your promise NOT to get into trouble."  Blushing because he knew he had a tendency to get into trouble, Stinky promised so the two headed off to the beach.


Stinky was in awe of the large equipment (as Periwinkle knew he would be)  She reminded him of his promise to behave.   First they watched the surveyor measure the mean low water.  Periwinkle explained that the storms of the previous years had taken away a lot of the sand and this project was to help bring it back.

Periwinkle showed Stinky a graphic that explained how the sand was being replenished.

Stinky looked upset and said "What about the turtles that come to nest?  Won't they be hurt?"  Periwinkle explained that the replenishment would stop when turtle season started or if a nest was spotted.  Stinky looked relieved.

Of course, Stinky had to check out the big machines...


Periwinkle was relieved that he did not get into trouble and only went as close as the workers would allow him.  They took a short video to show how things were being done...



Worried that Stinky would not be able to control himself and get into trouble, Periwinkle suggested they return to her house and she would show him more about the beach replenishment AND they could check out the Easter decorations and enjoy a snack.

Back at the house she led him to the laptop and they read about the project.  Click HERE to see what they read.

Eager to check out the decorations (and unable to keep himself from climbing) Stinky headed right up to see the bunnies on the entertainment center.  

Periwinkle rolled her eyes but secretly was proud of him for showing such control around the big machines

Periwinkle showed him the Bunny nutcracker....

 and the easter egg lights on the divider.  She held her breath wondering if he was going to whap them but he didn't!

As was their tradition, they took a selfie with the bunny...

They were both hungry and Periwinkle's Mom served them a snack.

"This was a fun adventure," said Stinky.  "Well, there is one more thing I would like to share with our friends even though it's not a fun thing it's impawtent" said Periwinkle.

Periwinkle continued, "Today is Purple Day which is a day to increase awareness about Epilepsy.  I thought it would be nice to share a link to the Five Sibes Purple day to increase awareness about Canine epilepsy.  As our readers know, your fursib Sawyer has feline epilepsy and people need to know that we pets can have it too.  My fursib Angel Raz had a couple of seizures and we were all very frightened when that happened.  We're purring and praying that nobody, human or pet, has to have this awful disease.


You can read more about Purple Day by clicking HERE.

Soon it was time for Stinky to head home.  The tabbies spent some time whisker kissing and paw patting and then Stinky headed into the Teleportation Tunnel to head home.  He blew one last kiss and, wish a WOOOSH, headed home.

Periwinkle went off to find her fursibs and tell them about her day at the beach!

Monday Sparks


Wait, aren't ALL cats Luck Cats?????

 Even though McGuffy's reader is taking a break, we are continuing our Monday Sparks posts!  From the original Sparks posts:

Welcome to Sparks. Many years ago, it was my intent to post an inspirational thought each Monday. It would be my weekly meditation, and perhaps feed other people's spirit as well. Life got busy, and this fell by the wayside. Now, I feel a strong need to bring this feature back. 
The negative energy in the world has become thick and oppressive. Social media has become a part of this dark, negative storm. There is an obvious universal need for more positive energy and peace. And, we can all be part of this affirmative change. 
I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!
I hope you will join us. Please link up a positive quote, thought, poem, or verse. The badge and code can be found in my sidebar. Add the badge to your post to invite others. The more, the merrier. I welcome your thoughts. Peace.

Sunday Selfies

 Remember Reesie's Wordless Wednesday post (if not, click HERE)  Momma bird made a nest in one of our Mom's kitty flower pots and has been sitting on it for a while.  We're confused by her coming back and forth on the shelf on our porch.  She DID politely ask to take a Selfie, so we said yes.  We think she did a great job and can't wait to see the babies!  We promise to just watch from the window.

We're pawticipating in The Cat on My Head's Sunday Selfies today.
