Daily Photo: Popcorn
“So what do you think?”
“I’ll never complain about what she feeds us if this is what she has to eat.”
“Kind of tastes like one of my cardboard interpretations.”
“Do you think it’s actually here to pack in the boxes with stuff?”
“No, I saw her eat some.”
Mewsette likes crunchy snacks and such, and all the others will try just about anything, so because they were walking across my keyboard and my work and getting up around my easel desperately trying to get to my popcorn, totally dull, just home-popped corn with nothing on it popcorn, I just put it in the middle of my desk and let them have at it. It’s usually the quickest way to resolve the issue.
Mewsette ate a few pieces, Mr. Sunshine kind of liked it, or he liked the idea of it because he’d pick up a piece, kind of chew it, then drop it and dig for another as if he was trying to find one he liked. He didn’t.
I took the bowl away and they left, so I had my popcorn to myself. Somehow I think that was okay with them.

What other photos did I feature around this date?
Morning Entertainment, 2013
So I’m pedaling away at my exercise bicycle (because if I go outside and ride my real bike around the block for exercise I might not be back until noon after taking 2GB of photos and sketching a few sketches), but life is never dull, even in the basement. The door is open to a sunny summer morning sparkling with last night’s rain, and I watch the activity of the Tower of Love, the scarlet runner beans growing on branches I’ve tied into a pyramid shape in an anodized tub, twining up and draping down with bright orange-red flowers, and covered with bees pollinating and hummingbirds feeding and songbirds landing and butterflies fluttering and spiders building and all sorts of other amorous and productive/reproductive activity.
And Mimi is climbing up and down the screen door and balancing delicately on the wood bar across the middle and the spring that pulls it shut. She’s little, and she wants a better view. She also wants to go out in the yard, which we won’t do until later, and it requires her collar and leash. Giuseppe is content with looking out from a sitting position and Mewsette is watching little things running back and forth through the opening at the bottom of the door.
Mimi’s shadow is quite graceful too. I don’t need to go outside, I’m distracted enough and took a few dozen photos just of this view. If sketchbook was near I’d do that too. Tomorrow, perhaps.

It’s So Hot…2010
A cat covered with fur just can’t get a break in this heat so he has to air himself out.
Dickie’s mom requested another photo because she misses him—I don’t have any of him just sitting and looking normal, because he doesn’t do that too often! But here’s another of his famous sleeping positions.
What I like is the little fangs. I also love the black bottoms on tabby cat paws—it looks as if they’ve stepped in black paint, and when you look at them from the top it looks as if it’s soaked up between their toes.
Dickie has about seven more weeks here, then he’s back with his mom! I’ll tell the story soon, and in the meantime I’m sure I’ll get plenty more photos of my temporary tabby cat.
