A portion of the proceeds from each sale goes to help shelters and rescue organizations who are working hard to stop the growth of the homeless animal community.

The Sun Mom, the Sun!

momsun

Cape Cod has been blessed with two days of sun, and visitors!  I even left the house yesterday and took pictures and organized the new dog collars and harnesses.   Got the local gossip which was good, lots of new, interesting stores coming to town this summer.

These may be the last of the winter photos…

I am smitten by this tiny cottage…it may even be 2 units (see the JH on the side) …even though no one is around, and I mean no one,

I feel funny looking in the windows.

This little cottage is “OceanView”…with sun you could easily see a blue sliver of ocean in the distance.

Hi Matthew, if your out there, I love and miss you.

Thursday Give-A-Way!

This weeks give-a-way is a plush grasshoper, who makes a chirp sound!

grasshopper_l

I purchased it  on impulse for my great teacher, but quickly realizing he lived on a sailboat and would disapprove of me offering him such a silly gift, I placed it to rest on a shelf.  (It has not been used as a cat toy so it’s condition is like new)

From the classic Kung Fu TV series:

Master Po: [after easily defeating the boy in combat] Ha, ha, never assume because a man has no eyes he cannot see. Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.
Master Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?
Young Caine: No.
Master Po: Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet?
Young Caine: [looking down and seeing the insect] Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
Master Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?

Do you know someone who would like this little fellow?   He has come to bring me only sadness so he must move onto a new home.

to enter  just comment:  YES GRASSHOPPER

Our fatty blue duck appears courtesy of Matthew, who was eaten by a tiger in a previous life, so this time around he’s allergic.  Hum.  We love you Matthew.

Angels are watching over me

Here are two angel photos I took tonite.  I was listening to the  WOMR membership drive this morning and EarthSky reminded me to look for the cresent moon,  so I went out after work to do just that.  Those scientists always have something interesting to say…but hey, whoa…I captured some angels out in my backyard!   I first photographed them when moving into Capes Treasures in Provincetown.  I had no idea what they were but Matthew said they were Angels watching over me.  I thought I saw a couple of those weird little energetic things scurrying about the shop today.  How magical!memorial_day1memorial_day2
