Cool downs in a hot Summer

Hi (Furry)furriends💗

I’m here, Granny…

I’m lying under Olive…

as it’s to hot in the sun…

and I can see effurrything that’s going on

in the garden and in the sky

purrfectly from here…

so I won’t miss anything…

for me this is the purrfect place…

for now…

Stippie prepurrs to be

near to Angel’s Place…

where he catches some air

from all sides…

he’s walking around a lot

because he likes to play

a lot…

Last week he catched something…

and when Granny heard him Roar like a lion

she knew that it was something special…

like this…😹😹😹

Thank Cat it was just an old leaf…

but he was protecting it

like it was a big birdie

or mousie…

he also has his own swimming pool

which he dives into

…often…

to cool down…

and Granny cools him with the toys

which he loves very much…

I mostly stay under Olive…

and when I come out

it is because I see Granny…

and then she carries me around for

as long as I want to

a while…

we do that a lot by the way…😸

as we love to hang out with each other…

so we’re very

T H A N K F U L

to have shady places

all around the garden…

and a lot of quality time

with each other…

even our roses

found themselves a shady place

under their own leaves

so that we hardly couldn’t see them…

and our little White Rose

was hiding herself behind the fountain

in the shadow…

our Clematis

also likes to stay

in the shadow…

…see…

there’s a shadow for effurryone…

wait…

that reminds me of this picture

that our furriends Angel Sammy

and his brother Teddy

showed us for a poem…

“You better beware

for the lions out there

they hang out in trees

between the branches

and the leaves

and while they let effurrything dangle

they still can see you

from effurry angle

it may seem like laziness

but actually it’s shadiness

to hang out there in time

to catch a birdie or a swine

but always very divine

and from that angle of view

he also looks like Peachy Pooh.”

and now

let’s bring in some mewsic

with the week our own Theme…

Moonlight Shadow – Mike Oldfield ft. Maggie Reilly (1983)

Even in the shadows – Enya (2015)

Shadows – Future Islands ft. Debbie Harry (2017)

    I don’t know how I missed this post from last week. All the photos are lovely, and I love your music selection. I haven’t heard Moonlight Shadow for a long time and have played it twice!

    Granny has such a welcome and comfortable garden, just for you, Peachy and Stippie. The first song video didn’t play here in the United States but no worries, I found one that did, enjoyed it. It was one of my favorites, along with Roxette,Rory Gallagher, and Debra Harry. Alana ramblinwitham

    Charlee: “Our Dada is also a fan of the shade. Which makes us wonder why he moved to California.”
    Chaplin: “It must’ve been so he could adopt Dennis, and then us.”
    Charlee: “Probably. Oh hey also our Dada has several of those songs on your list, including the Enya one, the Roxette one, and the Sarah McLachlan one. He said you could also throw in a song called ‘Shadowtime’ by Siouxsie and the Banshees.”
    Chaplin: “I guess Dada likes shadows.”
    Oona: “So does Oona. Shadows are a ninja’s friend.”
    Charlee: “Do you think Dada is a ninja?”
    Oona: “HA HA HA HA HA HA! No.”

    Beautiful photos of cool garden places and happy plants and kitties enjoying the shade……that’s the best place to be on a hot day. I have a little garden tree that I get under for shade – Mom calls it my “green umbrella”…..I can see Mom and Dad on the front porch in their rockers while I’m under my little tree. Sometimes I fall asleep knowing Mom and Dad are watching me and keeping me safe. We also think your poem for the mighty lion in the tree is PURRRRRRFECT! You boys are excellent poets!

    Hugs and Pawkisses back to you from us……
    Teddy

    Peachy & Stippie,
    The garden looks so purrtty! I definitely would hang out in the shadow of Olive on bright sunny days. We have been blessed with some cooler temps and this week has started off rainy. I won’t complain, though. I love your themed music picks. Very cool idea! 🙂 Thanks for joining the 4M party. Have a pawwsomely, boogietastic week!

And you two have a beautiful garden to enjoy and a wonderful swimming pool to drink from and enjoy AND your Grannie carrying you round all over the garden…and I will bet she is giving kisses to whichever of you she is carrying as she walks.
