Good day! Winston here. We hope everyone is managing. Our Mom continues to try and adapt to the new normal.
The lilies of the valley were pretty while they lasted. We had some very summery weather recently and they didn't last too long. Mom made sure to enjoy them while she could.
Mom says she misses the small things. She hasn't had a scone and warm beverage with a friend since early March. However, there are still other things to enjoy!
She likes to visit Francis several times a week. The little guy lives in a park-like setting. This makes Emily and I quite sad. We would love to see these little rodents when we look out our window. We are thankful we get to see a parking lot, though. Also a few trees. Sometimes we see sparrows and crows fly by our window.
Gosh, Winston, you are chatty today. It is my turn to talk a bit. Mom says she sometimes talks to Francis but all he really wants is the peanut she brings him. Silly Mom. Perhaps the more than 12 weeks in self-isolation is getting to her? Don't worry. Winston and I keep her grounded. Nothing like a fur ball on the carpet to keep your human involved with reality!
Mom bought a catnip plant and basil several weeks ago. So far they are thriving! However, Winston recently discovered the window where Mom has kept them. She likes to snip off a tiny bit with her fingers and then give Winston and me a bit of the nip. Now Winston chugs away on the nip. Mom is having to rethink the location of our nip.
Stay well, everyone.
Sounds like you kitties are keeping your Mom grounded. Enjoy your nip but not too much. Purrs from Patch and Flower.
ReplyDeleteHi, Thank you for dropping by! The thing is Patch and Flower--we can't help ourselves when it comes to the nip!
DeletePurrs,
Winston and Emily
Francis is a cutie. We have a chipmunk visitor to our garden quite often now, we think he lives in the next door garden. Derry is quite taken with him. :-D
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you're keeping your mom grounded, even if it's with fur balls. Ha.
Go easy on the nip, Winston, you want it to last! Plus it's nice to share with Emily, right? Right?!
Take care and stay well, all of you. Purrs from Derry.
Yeah for your own chippy, Derry!
DeleteThank you for the visit.
Nice to see you two cuties. How kind of your mom to bring peanuts to her friend. XO
ReplyDeleteHi, Thanks for saying hello.
DeleteOur only regret is that we don't get to see Francis.
We have many catnip, valerian, and silvervine toys, so we don't grow catnip for the cats, but The Hubby likes to grow wheatgrass! All of the cats really love that stuff.
ReplyDeleteValerian and wheatgrass, eh?
DeleteThis is something I need to look into.
Thank you!
That sure is nice of yourf mom to bring peanuts to Francis. It sounds like the two of you are better listeners than him, though. Enjoy that nip!
ReplyDeleteHi, Thanks for saying hello. We are much better listeners than a tiny rodent.
DeleteWe try to nibble on that nip when Mom isn't looking.
my Mom is a huge fan of chipmunks so this made her smile.Love, Cody
ReplyDeleteHi Cody, We are happy to hear that Francis made your Mom smile. We are sending good thoughts to all of you.
DeleteDon't worry, talking to the chipmunk is normal and has nothing to do with being cooped for for months!
ReplyDeletePhew! Mom thought a couple of her marbles had fallen between the floorboards.
DeletePurrs for visiting!
