OWLing Time!

Halloween is just around the corner and it's time to invite the

OWLS for tea! 

One of the local tea houses has owl tea cups.

Every time I visit with them I pick the owl cup for my tea.

Mr. Dragon searched and searched and found the teapot and teacup set.

He knew how much I enjoyed tea with the owls! 

It is one of my most precious possessions.

I can't help but think about Mr. Dragon and all the love we shared when I use this set.

It brings a very big smile to my face.

He would like to know I'm smiling and laughing.

How about a cup of chai and a pumpkin muffin?

Sounds good to me!

Thanking our tea party hosts:

This and That

I love this time of year.

There is a promise that the days will cool and wonderful walks are in the future.

Last year, because of the drought, the acorns were few and far between.

This year the squirrels can't collect them fast enough before the acorns cover the ground.

I love Halloween and love to share Halloween fun!

This is a reproduction of a vintage Halloween postcard.

Isn't he quite clever!

Yes, we *auto* have a Happy Halloween.

It's that time again.

Classes have started at Rice University.

The Boys are Back!

Time for Fall Ball.

I walked over to watch the action.

So many new freshmen.

There's just nothing like the sound of the bat hitting the ball!

Walking home from Rice I spotted some Halloween decorations.

This Halloween man made me smile.

His head turns from side to side.

I don't think this Ghost is going to scare anyone!

What a great welcome he'll be to Trick or Treaters.

Finally, I finished the last black cat square.

I went to Michaels and found a gray yarn that was very close to the original.

This is what the afghan would have looked like.

It is huge.

I'm glad I decided to make four lapghans instead.

I did do some tweaking of the pattern when I decided lapghans were the way to go.

I can't put anything on the floor without having a cat or two check things out.

Now I have the kitty seal of approval for the lapghans.

Thank you to Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday each week.

Wishing YOU well and much joy! 

Good Morning!

Cocktails With An Owl

The Houston Zoo had a cocktail party to celebrate the reopening of the

Sea Lion exhibit -- a new pool, covered areas for the public, new paint job.

When the zoo celebrates they bring out their Ambassadors and one of them is

this beautiful, female Great Horned Owl.

It was a fun evening.

Thank you to Misty for hosting Camera Critters each week.

Wishing YOU well and a joy filled weekend.
