Since I last posted, every kitty I wrote about has gone.<br />
Sickness has taken it toll, but also Sudden Death.<br />
<br />
I had to tell my last Baby Girl- Babylon, whom I haven written about- good bye.<br />
She was 17. And had gone Blind about two months ago, but was coping with her usual Spunk.<br />
But she stopped eating... and just went down so fast. Got frail and seemed to age before my eyes...<br />
<br />
Damn<br />
I am such a coward. But knew she might welcome Release.<br />
<br />
So now she if in the front yard with her sisters and brother and cousins.<br />
<br />
And she is Gone.<br />
And I miss her Precious lil' Face.<br />
And her just Being here with me.<br />
Cause now we have had only each other to hold on to.<br />
And she is Gone<br />
<br />
Mama Loves You Precious Bunny Girl <br />
<br />
This house is Empty And I don't know what to do...<br />

<br />
I had been hearing this kitty under the Patio/Porch for several days. My girls would Come out, <u><i>Ruuun</i></u> over to the crawlspace- and then Stare into the Gloom.<br />
<br />
Then would Commence this "Mgrow MEoW MMRRooowww Meurrr<i><span style="font-size: large;">SHREIKY</span></i>rooow", that could last until the Girls got bored or I came back Into the house to get away from the sounds.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There were never any sounds of Direct Contact- Smacking Slapping or Physical Scuffling. I knew the Kittheh wasn't injured probably- cause the Wailingly Screeches would quit as soon as the Girls came inside.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then as days of Sweet-Talkin', Cajoling, Pleading, Wheedling, and bits of out right Beguiling along with frequent saucers of dry crunchies left... Out onto the Patio Kittheh came... <br />

Kittheh was named Jethro...<br />

<br />
It took several days of me sitting in my Rocker(off my Rocker some say) talking loving Gibberish and Much 'Cat Whisperer' anxiety that Jethro came and began to fleetingly let me pet and gingerly touch the Chocolate tail.<br />
<br />
Ahem...<br />
It was then duly noted that upon my Extreme Visual Acuity that Jethro...<br />
...was in fact a Girl !!<br />

<br />
Listen- there is a soft sound outside that I have heard for so long- enough for it to be almost unnoticeable.<br />
Rain.<br />
Showers-Sprinkles-Deluging (is that a word ?)-Spattering-Drizzling-Sloshing-Plopping...<br />
<br />
This is the four day forecast--- <br />

I recall just a scant couple of weeks ago- there was S.U.N.<br />
Outside to sit and have coffee. Putter around getting Much Needed chores done... <br />

A Jazzy new Cushion for my Rocker. Instead of a Cushion for the back--- I remembered that there was a Quilt in a big Camel-backed Trunk... My Mama bought it for me back when I was 16 or so.<br />
As we All do from Time to Time- I was 'Saving It For Nice'.<br />
Oh Ho !!<br />
When is "Nice" going to Happen ??<br />
Ptooey on having it packed Away - Unseen & Unappreciated...<br />
<br />
So It rests across the Rocker back. Every-time I go out on the Porch or Sit and Rock for a Spell--- I can Admire it and Think of my Mama !!<br />

My Niece AnnaLee is expecting her next child/second baby/first daughter late this month...<br />
Since her little boy was born I have always referred to him as 'Fang'.<br />
Noe New Baby Girl has been given the title 'Bump-ette'...<br />
Poor little thing !!<br />
With the impending baby I felt the need to get my Crochet Game going and purchased More Yarn ( really- I need- Need- NEED- more Yarn.) and soon the Bounty arrived...<br />
<br />
Not sure what hooky creation I would Finally Decide to make I chose just my usual mish-mash of colours...<br />

For a lot of years I was one of those who did Everything and Anything to a poor ol' bag of Cranberries possible. Cooked with Orange rind. Chopped raw with grated Onion and Sugar. Molded, Blended, Stewed...<br />
Then I went All Retro--- And had a Genuine moment of Enlightenment...<br />
<br />
I loved the regular Old-fashioned easy sliced Jellied Sauce from a can !! <br />
<br />

<br />
Painting makes me Happy- the 'After' results show So quick !!<br />
