Picture dump: the daisiest daisies

Cricket





The neighbors' cat has the most attractive cat eyes I've ever seen.



I was trying to get him to look at me and make an attractive composition with the daisies, but no dice. Damn cat.



In other news, Antje Duvekot put out another live album. She has a cover of "They All Laughed" from Fred and Ginger's Shall We Dance on there that, I'll admit, I don't love*, but I'm surprised and amused that it's getting covered at all these days. The three I really like are "Sweet Spot," "The Wind," and especially "Four Stitches," which I gather is the newest song on the CD. It's quickly rising in the ranks of my favorite Antje songs.

* On some of her live material she sounds incredibly nervous, and I don't know if she's actually nervous or if she just has some kind of uncontrollable shaky quality to her voice that comes and goes. Either way, it tends to make me feel sympathetically anxious.

I love hydrangeas but I never remember their name *L*

That is a very neat weathervane!

Cricket looks like she's trying to telepathically inform you she needs a treat STAT!

I want your neighbour's cat. :)

Oh btw? A family of birds has built themselves a nest in the eaves directly outside my kitchen and hatched a bunch of nestlings. We can hear them cheeping like they're inside the kitchen all the time. They make me think of you and your love of birds. :)

Neither do I. I always want to call the pink ones hyacinths and the blue ones delphiniums. Neither of which have anything to do with hydrangeas. :D

Thanks! It doesn't actually work; the horse doesn't twist, and the N/S/E/W things aren't even pointed in the right directions. Pretty, though.

Heh. That's kind of how she always looks, really...

He is very cool. Dirty, though; he doesn't seem to understand how to bathe himself, so he's always very dusty.

Google image search tells me they're mourning doves. :) Hopefully they'll grow up soon I figure they MUST be teenagers by now because they're constantly hungry if you go by the cheeping!

Awww. Well, doves are noisy anyway; I had some that liked to sit on my window air conditioners and coo randomly. They're also stupid. Soooo stupid. But cute!
