The State of our Union

The State of our Union

Even our Union is broken. Congressman & woman fight with one another, who do they work for? Us, not the money, vote them out, the ones who refuse to compromise, vote them out of office, no matter their party. I am married to my opposite, but we’ve learned to compromise with each other. Because we are grown ups. Because we love each other & what we are, a family. We (it is ‘we’ isn’t it? People & the land are ‘we’), as a country, are giving up & pulling out. I drive down our roads & there is nothing to see but FOR SALE signs. This is NOT who we are. We have families, we have homes with friends & dogs & cats & birds & fish… These are the things that define who we are, do you really want to sell WHO we are? But who am I to say this? Nobody, really. I’m just one vote. But I’m paying attention & these ribbons say it all.

Teenager cats are sometimes a pain in the butt, Hobbes destroyed my chair in my studio. It was woven with straw, he did know & he didn’t touch another piece of furniture & now he saunters through the house, waiting for someone to pick him up & snuggle, but just for a few minutes, then you have to put him down. His claws come out

Our Ivy

Our Ivy

If you’d like a free or low price kitten, check with your Vet. If your vet is in the country, people dump their pets they don’t want at the Vet’s office. Walter & Ivy both came from our Vet.

May I come in?

Hobbes knows which window to find us.  Did you know that face is impossible to ignore?  I can pretend he is not there for a little while (5minutes max), but then I give up & give in.  I let him, he run to the food dish, eats for 30 seconds then runs to the front…

“Ooouch, please don’t wake me up, Hobbes & I were hunting all night.

“No, we were not drinking, gosh, Mom, sometime I wonder about you. We were chasing roaches last night, Hobbes would chase them to the floor & I would step on them & Ivy would…..gag..she..would disembowel them…gag…and pull their legs off. She offered me one. Man, she has some issues”
