WHO LIVED HERE?

Abandoned houses have always held a fascination for me.


They have a story to tell.

They hold memories



and secrets.

I wonder...


who lived here...



and why



did they leave?

It's been a long time since I've pulled off the side of a country road and snuck into an old abandoned house. What an adventure....
I think I'd like to do that again.

GARDENING with CATS

Cats and Stone

There's something about cats. Their sleek sinewy lines. Their grace, their hypnotic stare. Cats are living works of art.

And there's something about stone. It's enduring strength, it's organic beauty. Plus it looks great as it ages!

Combine the two and don't they make a beautiful design element in the garden?

Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat

Pussy cat, pussy cat
Where have u been?
I've been to London
To look at the Queen

Pussy cat, pussy cat
What did you there?
I frightened a little Mouse
Under her chair.

from Mother Goose

I'm only a cat,
and I stay in my place...
Up there on your chair,
on your bed, in your face!

I'm only a cat,
and I don't finick much...
I'm happy with cream,
anchovies and such!

I'm only a cat,
and we'll get along fine...
As long as you know
I'm not yours... you are mine!
