Feline Friday: Look into my eyes…

September 30, 2005

Look into Lyra’s glowing golden eyes. What are those eyes saying to you?

You will post photos of your cats. You will send links to the Friday Ark. You will send your submissions to the Carnival of the Cats. You will come back here -yes, here! – to see the Carnival on Sunday. You will rub [...]

New camera!

September 28, 2005

My parents gave me my first camera, a Kodak Instamatic, on my seventh birthday. I’d wanted a camera for almost a year, and was thrilled when I opened the boxes containing the small camera, several boxes of film, and a pack of flash cubes.
That camera was followed, over the years, by increasingly sophisticated cameras: [...]

23/5

September 27, 2005

The title of this post is not a play on the rather overused 24/7; instead, it’s a shorthand description of the meme with which fabulous food-blogger Lindy of Toast tagged me today:

3. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post the sentence in your blog. Ponder it for meaning, [...]

September 23, 2005

I usually maintain that people swear either because they lack verbal imagination or because they are unable to verbally articulate their feelings. As I drove to work this morning, I was apparently suffering from a severe lack of verbal imagination. I think I had a pretty good handle on my feelings.
Last night, I waited for [...]

Feline Friday: Horn buds

September 23, 2005

See the two small bumps in the fur between Lyra’s ears? Those are her horn buds. Yes, I know she looks almost angelically sweet, and most days she is, but occasionally she’s such a little hellcat that I expect tiny red horns to break through.

Supporting private preservation

September 21, 2005

In the wake of hurricane Katrina, I mourn and I worry. I mourn the loss of lives, both human and animal, and I worry about the ongoing, but fractured, lives of the survivors.
I also mourn for and worry about the rich array of historic southern houses – from ante-bellum plantations to modest shotgun houses [...]
