Catch A Falling Star

Don't you love seeing a shooting star? I love a dark night sky full of stars. Good night, see you tomorrow. via

Cat loves Pitlet

Sorry I haven't been around much. So busy with a real estate deal. Here's a gif to make you smile. via Have a great weekend. TGIF.

Kate and William Dueling w/ Magic Wands

Last april, the royal couple toured one of the main locations for Harry Potter films and got a short lesson in wand wizzard fighting and of course they mastered it right away, perfectly and effortlessly. She was wearing a white maternity dress with black polka dots and a black jacket and looked absolutely wonderful. via

First Royal Wave

Look closely. The baby nailed his first royal wave, didn't he? via

Something to make you feel cooler.

It's a tiny bit cooler today but not by much. We only got a few drops of rain overnight. I didn't actually see it but there are a few droplets dripping off the deck railing to prove it actually happened. It's overcast so maybe we'll get more later. I'll be so happy when I can turn my a/c off and throw open the windows! See you later. via

Happy Duck with A New Prosthetic Foot

After--the bright orange one is artificial.

Before--having a peg leg was no fun.

Works in water too. Happy Duck Face, forever after.

More photos here with pictures of the genius doctor who designed and made the new webbed foot for this lucky duck. There is no text but the pictures say it all. I adore human interest stories like this, don't you?

Childe Hassam - July 4, 1916

The Fourth of July, 1916. The Greatest Display of the American Flag Ever Seen in New York. This painting was inspired by the climax of the Preparedness Parade in May of that year. It must have been an inspiring sight to behold. Thankfully, we have this world-famous painting to document the historic World War I parade down Fifth Avenue.

Enjoy the Independence Day fireworks tonight. via

Wonderful Alphabet -- Handlettered

Fun with lettering.

Great alphabet drawn by twentysix.

A Sweet Bird For You

I am bone tired from mowing all afternoon but I finished. It was a perfect day. Jumping in bed shortly. This is an eastern yellow robin from Australia. via There is a short video by Neil Fifer here of this bird taking a bath. Good night all. 

'Walk Like an Egyptian' Bird

He has it down pat even without hands, doesn't he? via We have blue skies and bright sun this morning. Yay! Just in time for a great Memorial Day weekend. Have a good one.

Corgi in a Swing

He looks as if he doesn't have a care in the world, doesn't he? I never tire of the interaction between humans and their pets. This little guy is clearly loved. via

I found a video of this adorable Corgi too. His name is Twinky.  

Just for Fun

I broke down and turned on the heat yesterday and this morning to knock off the chill. I don't know if this pup is enjoying warm air or cool air but he certainly seems to be loving the breeze. via

Blink, Blink. Owl waking up.

Watch a video by Tara Tanaka of this western screech owl trying to wake up here. It's very cute. Gif found here.

Dog's Tongue in Slow Motion

This is fascinating. I had no idea a dog lapped water this way. The tongue curls under to cup the water. via

Rain All Day Today

It's raining hard and the fog has partially lifted. Good indoor day. Stay cozy. via

The Big Squeeze

Hilarious! That last tug did it. I do the same thing when I try to zip up my jeans when they come out of the dryer. via

Does your Cat have a Bunny Buddy?

Apparently, this is a trend. Tabitha hasn't heard about it yet and I'm not going to tell her. Click HERE to see more cat/bunny best friends. They show genuine love for one another, so get ready for your face to break out in a big smile.

The Endless Cup of Tea
