First Storytelling Cat - Molly's Tail

Early one morning, a month or so past, I happened to glance out the window to see cows wandering in our yard. I thought 'Hmm, that shouldn't be.' These animals being more powerful than a human, if they had any notion of their strength.... 
the day the cows got out


Seems they got a part of the white fence down far enough to step over it completely and...
They walked into 'Freedom!' Though they had no notion of it.
Yet they were only interested in grass - the grass that looks 'greener' over the fence...

and now, Molly's storytelling starts...

Seems she was out for a wander same as the cows were and came round the corner of our drive just as....
around the corner
My hubby was out putting the fence back together after he coaxed the cows back into their side of the 'greener grass'. Can you see her?

 And then, 
a cat, a fence and a man
taking little interest in what in the world he was doing, banging away with a hammer this early on a quiet and serene Saturday morning, she wandered past him. I can't help but wonder what she'd have done seeing 'Cow Invaders' wandering her turf! She's normally very aggressive towards other cats and especially dogs; so a cow, I don't pretend to know what her reaction would have been. Maybe that's for the best! You think?

So off she continued toward the house....
You'd think she had no interest






Molly waiting
.... only to sit and wait for the hammering and banging to cease; she awaited the arrival of her favorite person in the house, my hubby! Who at the moment was at odd angles with the fence...
Cat by the van
A picture tells a story with less than a couple of words and Molly decided to change her position so she could watch the curious 'goings on' until all the activity stopped and he came in for coffee. At which point, she followed him in. I sometimes pause and wonder whether her ancestry doesn't include a dog somewhere in her pedigree.

Why, you ask?

Yes, I Know...

Ok, I know I've been away for four and a half months... still in the same place, living on Prince Edward Island, Canada with four ornery cats and a loving, (patient) husband... lots has been happening over the past few months and today would not only have been my Dad's 89th birthday but its also the 3 year anniversary of his passing from this life in June of 2010, but the sense of loss was renewed. It was shortly after that I stopped writing my blog.

I have decided to come back and to offer more than just chat and pics of my cats to my readers. So you can look forward to a bunch of other things coming your way soon. Part of my plan is to honor my Dad, who was a prolific story teller (author), poet, song writer, painter, artist and my inspiration for my own writing; through my blog. He wasn't so much an animal lover in the sense that I am but, curious thing, animals were attracted to HIM!! Even the most dangerous sort of dog would be calm and well behaved in his presence... 

Be prepared for an wide array of different things to HIT THIS BLOG in the coming month! 

Hope you stick around --  Interesting things are on the way! I will get a few things ahead over the weekend but expect something Friday. I will also be making some changes to my blog page... hopefully I haven't forgotten everything about making changes but if the page looks 'wonky', you'll know why! 
So far, I got in successfully, have written this short blurb, saved, previewed and posted, added labels... Heck, I even remembered how to pop in a picture --

Thanks for stopping by.

Catspaw is BACK!
