Staycation

A thoughtful kitten has a lot to ponder these days. For example, the other day I opened the sliding glass door leading to the backyard so Molly could enjoy the sights and sounds from behind the screen door. However, I didn't notice that the screen door was also open. Molly sat politely on the back step wondering which was worse, my mental lapse or taking advantage of a mental lapse. Happily, I scooped her up and brought her inside before she could decide. As a compromise, she spent the rest of the afternoon at the front door demanding to be let outside. (She is an indoor only cat...)

Also, we are all trying to ignore the elephant in the room who blocks out the sun. And we mean this literally.

And while we honor Buddy and his choice to identify as a cat now, we really can't ignore his earlier life choice as a pony.  (P.S. Molly is a normal cat size.)

And yes, I have made a pattern for a downey woodpecker block. However, an earlier attempt at a paper-pieced version ended up all twisted around. Plus...

Her attention span shrunk to the size of a gnat.

Then a breeze blew it away and that was that.
