Daily Photo: Ready When You Are

Jelly Bean has infinite patience when he’s waiting for the faucet to drip, even just once. Sometimes he even rubs his face against it as if to coax it to drip, but it never does. Bean never gives up hope.   And the May featured images in Compositions in Black

Daily Photo Reprise: Am I Interrupting Something? or The Four Housecats of the Apocalypse, 2012

Hmmm, came around the landing at the bottom of the steps and looked up…not sure what they’re up to. This is not long after I “rescued” the mousie they were wrestling over and chasing around the house, put it outside, and called them the “Four Housecats of the Apocalypse” (the

Cats for Adoption: Mimi Says, “For Mother’s Day, Spay Your Cat.”

Mimi waited until today to give her annual Mother’s Day address along with our weekly post about cats for adoption, featuring several homeless rescued kittens…if all cats were spayed before reproducing, there would be no homeless kittens to post. This is Mimi’s wish as a mother of 24 kittens. Much

Daily Sketch Reprise: The Sunny Upstairs Window

I have a sketch for later today, but I love this one so much I thought it should stand alone. If you’ve been following my sketches for any length of time, you’ve probably seen gradual changes that begin with a particular sketch—adding new media, using a new color palette, finding

From the Archives: Salad Days, and a Certain Tortie in the Salad Bowl

On this day in 2009, Namir watches for critters while Cookie supervises my harvest, or perhaps she’s planning on a sip of my coffee, in the controlled chaos of my garden in springtime. First thing in the morning is the best time to harvest salad greens, especially if they are

A Mother’s Work is Never Done

I can have no pride when Mama Bernadette is on a creative rampage. We caught her digging through boxes and cartons in the entertainment center and she wouldn’t even let us help look, though you can be sure I would have gotten in her way if I had known she

Vintage Photo: My Old Man

“My Old Man”, a sleepy Stanley, on the rocker, on the deck, in the sun, in late spring of his last year with me, 2006. He was with me for 21 years and came to me well into adulthood, so my best guess is that he was 24 here; he

A New View

Mimi wants to know what this tree is doing lying atop her savannah of grasses and wildflowers where she can prowl like the panther she is, but she’ll just have to make due with the rest of the yard for now. A quick and powerful spring storm moved through yesterday

Daily Sketch: Watching the Storm

We had a surprise storm late today, fast and noisy and dark, with lots of rain and wind, and then we had a neighbor’s tree in our yard. More storms came later, not as bad as the first, but bad enough to lose our electricity again. What else for me

Daily Photo: Can We Just Go to Bed Now?

You don’t really need to paint all those boxes behind me tonight, do you? I’ve had a very long week supervising you and I need my beauty rest. Can we just go to bed now? You’re right, Mimi, we have had a number of late nights this week, and you
