Fully opened on 9-11. I nearly cried. What a beautiful symbol!!

In the spring, the flower pot had dirt in it and I KNEW the Easter lily bulb was buried under that dirt. I took it outside when the weather got warm and put some fresh soil in it and gave it some fertilizer and watered it regularly. It came up and throughout the summer got taller and taller. I was amazed. And then the night before 9-11-2010, it started opening!!! On 9/11 it was in full bloom. Tell me this wasn't a sign from God. I am a person that believes that God talks to us all the time and especially through His creation. I was so humbled when I saw it, I started crying. For awhile I put it on the front porch next to our flag so that passerbys would see it. Then I brought it inside. As of September 13th and now the 14th it is STILL IN FULL BLOOM AND THE FRAGRANCE FILLS OUR APARTMENT.

Other than zoos, the only encounters I have had with big cats is this:
(1) I came face to face with a Bob Cat when I lived in Georgia when I was about 10 or 12 years old. There were still a lot of woods around us, but they were developing a subdivision behind ours. I hated it. I was hoping we would always have wilderness around us. Anyway, I guess the Bob Cat was just as bewildered as I was upon meeting me!
We just stared at each other. I thought at first it was a very HUGE domesticated cat, lol! But I noticed the ear tufts and the tufts around its face and finally he turned and ran in the other direction and that's when I saw his bobbed tail!
We used to have a lot of them around where we lived when I was growing up, but development drove them away. So sad.
(2) I HEARD a Cougar or Mountain Lion roaring or "screaming" when we were camping in the Berkshire mountains of Western Massachusetts!! I think these beautiful cats and all wildlife deserve to have some room for them to still live wild. So sad when they end up in cages in zoos, etc. Man is developing so much, animals are running out of room to live and then the ultimate problem arises when they start encountering humans!
Now I kind of think I know how the Native Americans must have felt when the white man came along!!

We were camping in Massachusetts and my husband was working, hadn't found a place to live yet, when 9-11 happened. Not being near a tv and didn't have the radio on, I didn't know what had happened and had just woke up. I went to the contact station at the campsite and one of the campground workers had his computer on streaming live pictures of the towers burning and people yelling in I think it was arabic. I looked at him and said "Who is that talking??" He said "We're under attack!!!" Not having coffee and just woke up, it seemed very surreal to me. Then he showed me the photos on the computer of the twin towers and then he told me the Pentagon had been hit. I was in total shock. And, yes, like today up here. It was gorgeous, beautiful September morn. Who would have thought. Those planes flew over us on their way to each site, I think. Really makes you think.

God bless America!

Misty is an absolutely gorgeous kitten with very unique coloring. I've only seen 3 other kittens like her in the 6 years I've been involved in rescue work - and the other 3 were all in the same litter. She's got a lot of black and silver in her - making you think of royalty when you see her. She also has some peach coloring ... very very pretty.

She's sweet, loving, and playful! Purrrrfect kitty!

If you are in Orlando Florida and interested in adopting - contact Kathy and John at john_kathycole@comcast.net

Morning Glory

I can't believe it! For the first time in years I planted my Morning Glories early enough in the spring so they would bloom before frost. In previous years, they would just be at the point of blooming and then we would get frost. We have had warmer- than- normal temperatures since Spring. The Farmer's Almanac says we're supposed to have a bitterly cold winter here in the Northeastern USA, but I will believe it when I see it! lol
Today here in Western Massachusetts, we were only a few degrees cooler than Georgia!! Incredible!!

About Me

My photo
I can be very social, but then a recluse. I like my privacy when I'm working in my flower garden. I like to meditate there with God and the birds and the flowers. I love animals, all God's creatures and I can't stand people that abuse them! I strongly urge anyone that wants a pet to adopt from your local animal shelter. There are many loving animals that are at shelters waiting for a loving home. You can find me most of the time on Flickr where I have a photostream!
