Random Things

 

It's a wet morning here. Finally we're getting much needed rain. The house feels chilly and I'm thinking that some baking would warm it up. Not much to blog about so I thought I'd post some random pictures.


A clematis growing near the mailbox by the street.


Our row of Rugosa roses from the next door neighbour's side.
 

My kitty teapot which you may remember from other years. 
 


The people across the street must love their kitty a lot. They just built this outdoor pen for her. The window behind has a small window that opens to allow the cat to come and go ( although I notice that  she mostly comes out when they're outside. Otherwise she's content to stay in and look out that big window. 
 
I saw these pretty bags on Pinterest.  Are they not sweet?
 


That's it for today. I hope you're having a lovely day.
 
 
Thanks for visiting

  1. I love the bags! It is very cold here and I have the heating on. On Thursday they will install the wood stove in the fireplace but on that day it will be hot! 😂

  2. Oh that second handbag is gorgeous - makes me think that I should recycle my denim shirt! The "catio" (outdoor space for cats) has become quite common here too. Your flowering yard is beautiful!

  4. Our borrowed cat has a similar set up, but he is an outdoor cat so no window into the house.

  6. Those are really cute bags and I love the "catio". I've known a few people that have them for their cats. We've had such lovely weather but it was in the 90'sF today and we have severe thunderstorm warnings until 1:00 am tomorrow. More predicted for the weekend too. Fun times in tornado alley. Not!
    Blessings and hugs,

  20. I love the color of your clematis. It is looking very healthy. Our neighbor also built one of those outdoor cages for their cat. The teapot is a fun piece for the garden.

  21. Your roses are a sight! I bet the neighbors enjoy them as much as you do.

  22. Baking something on chilly rainy days is always a comfort! The clematis is lovely! Does that come back by itself each year? Such good and wise neighbors to take such good care of their cat that way! Have a pleasant week ahead!

  23. Hello again, I just saw your question about whether my nasturtiums had bloomed? They have gotten full and pretty, but no blooms. I have them in containers......so I am not sure if that is why they have not yet bloomed. The Texas heat has gotten into the 100s and I let them have morning sun but keep them out of the intense sun during the afternoon.....hopefully they might bloom. I will let you know

  24. Nothing is prettier than a picket fence line with roses ♥️ those bags are adorable.

  25. Hello GM. I love seeing the kitty teapot in your garden again! SO sweet. I'm sorry that I've not been around much. We had our son and youngest granddaughter from Maine here with us from the 19th-26th and I've not done much blog reading at all during that time. They've gone home now and we have many fond memories of their time here.
