Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

                                                          It must be in the water..




Morris my crazy Cat gave me quite a little shock yesterday! I looked up the hill in my backyard of eucalyptus trees and I noticed an orange crazy Morris hanging by one paw. The chubby cat was hanging about 25 feet up in a eucalyptus tree with one paw unable to get back to the branch . I yelled at Morris when I saw him.I have no idea how long he had been hanging there but he had the attention of a crow that was cawing at him. That must have been Morris’s attraction to be so high up in the tree a big black crow with a nest.
I wasn't sure if his claw was stuck in the tree or what. I looked at this big orange fur ball hanging like a monkey in a tree and thought where is the nearest ladder!I doubt it would have reached him.
It's one thing to be stuck in a tree another to be hanging by one paw. Morris was struggling to pull himself up  I felt so bad for him.
I think me yelling at Morris gave him the incentive to be like a contestant on the biggest loser TV show. Give it one more try! He was back on the branch. Hoisting his belly jelly cat belly was equivalent to a military marine pull up. Quite impressive! After he had taken his time coming down the tree I checked him out he was not limping or anything . It was such a emotional moment for Morris he headed for his cat bowl.
Morris is the reason for the saying Curiosity kills the cat he just can’t stay out of trouble.

My girlfriend had a birthday and we were unable to get together because of everything that happened last month. Yesterday I bought her a birthday present yes that would be the frog but after looking at it I am not quite sure if she’ll like it. It looked good in the store but now I hope it grows on her. There is a fine line between interesting and odd! I asked hubby instead of weed wacking the garden could he make me a birdhouse for Linda. This is hubby’s make do birdhouse I hope she likes it.Hubby just saw the frog he looked at me and laughed. I don't know why I asked for his opinion he said it looks like Godzilla.



Jack worked away on this bird house for me on Sunday after he saw the frog.   


 The back of the birdhouse is a wash board.
