More Cat going on~s.....

Mia... in the Twilight zone... DS captured all these candid Cat shots.
Nari, on the back of DH's Chair
Remember the kitten pictures of Nari in this trash can? Well, she has never gotten over this fetish and I have stopped trying to keep her from doing it. So this is how an Adult Nari looks canned.
Sadie is saying.... "waaaa... get her off, get her off.. I don't want to share,, she is too big"!

Cats enjoying life~

A New fun toy for the Cats of the house, a giant bed!
Great place to hide, bounce around, be stealthy when needed and of course those rare naps.

Mia, giving me one of those sleepy looks. As I disturbed her nap, when trying to take photographs. This look could also be perceived as....

"Sigh".... humans.. can't live with them, can't live with out them... what is a cat to do?

Rain is here!

Fall is finally here and the rain has come but with it arrives the beautiful Rainbows!
We really need the rain and plants love it.
Still have some tomatoes on the vine, not quite ripe and will need to bring them in today, to sit on the window sill. Other wise they will just rot.
Time to get the potted house plants I keep out during the summer, clean them up and bring them in.
Just so much to do before the first frost but the cooler weather is welcome.

American Made Measuring Cup Test

This is the new set of measuring cups and spoons. Took me a little longer to do this than planned. The Test was," does the cups and spoons measure out true"? Had to make bread this morning so here is what I found.
You can see the flour in the very old measuring cup. One that was made back before everything came from China.
Here is the same flour, moved over to the new Measuring cup. Was a bit tricky to get all the flour in the cup but I managed it. I leveled it off and it did measure true.
Below is another angle so you can see.
So I highly recommend these folks if you want good American Made measuring cups and spoons.
You can see with the spoon handles below that they are signed by the Artist, dated with the year and tells you what wood they used.

Start of Fall

Now I have to admit that Pacific NW doesn't have the beautiful Autumn colors that NE has but this isn't to shabby.
This is a local school over on the other side of the Columbia River. Nice old school that has a lot of character, beautiful grounds and trees.
An Old Oak tree..... DH and I really like this tree. Do not see them this large or old now a days.
