Saturday

I brought this little watercolor and ink home from

the auctions last week.  The colors and there

are perfect for our family room.

The week before that I bid on this gorgeous antique china

 set from Bavaria.  It's jaw dropping beautiful.  Over

 130 pieces, including some very unusual things like  

 leaf shaped deep sherbets and sweet little butter pats.

And now it's in the shop! 

The view out the front door.

Charcoal in the violet patch.

It's the coolest spot in the yard and when

a cat lays down, they are totally submerged

in leaves....perfect for hiding as you sleep.

And here's little Star.

She looks a little rough, doesn't she?

This was her first photograph from yesterday.

I gave her a quick bath this morning with The Mister's help.

Boy, she's much stronger than her pint sized body would have

you believe!  She was washed at the vet in something

very antiseptic smelling and she wasn't grooming herself.

So she got a quick wash and rinse and after lots of

hissing and growling she came back for a head rub,

so I guess we're forgiven. ha.

She was still in her bowl when I came out into the kitchen 

this morning but has since felt comfortable enough to

take over the most coveted sleeping spot...the basket

on my desk in front of the nook windows.

Later today I found her in the window seat soaking

up the sunshine in the living room.

That would make any creature feel better!

She's using the litter box and eating well.

Good girl!

And in honor of having a new girl under the roof,

we'll end with some pink from the yard...
