Felix the Cat(fish) in Poetry

This week, I've been working on getting ready for Warrenton. I ran out to Winnie & Tulula's to restock. I hit Primitiques and robbed merchandise to pack up for the big show at Zapp Hall. I hate to run out of goods at the show! I added a new feature "About Warrenton" to the left column on my blog. So, you ask, what did I do this morning? I walked out to my pond.

I live on 5 wooded acres and can just barely see the pond from my kitchen window. I wondered if the fish were missing me, as I hadn't been down to feed them in a while. After throwing a handful of feed out, the fish started jumpin'! Here's Felix the Cat (fish).

And his friend, the red slider turtle, Red came out.

I know. I know. You wanna see junk, don't you? Ok. So, here's the super big fan that I have down by my pond. It stands almost 5' tall. Love it! Don't you?

Back to shopping. cleaning, fixing, pricing, packing tomorrow. And I'll try to take some pics, too!

Happy Thursday!

  5. Hi Sandi, I don't have a dog. I have lots of cats and they are pretty funny, watching the fish in the pond. I have found a lot of stuff for the show. I keep asking myself how I'm going to get it all there! You're right. I am having a lot of fun.

    David, the first time you heard about Felix was when you read my Match.com profile almost 2 years ago! Wow! Good memory, mister!

    Debra, thank you. A fortunate part about my land is that it is wooded. This is fortunate in that it is beautiful, but also because it requires little upkeep. Very little mowing. Free firewood. The pond does need some cattail extermination. I don't always feel like I'm enjoying my land as much as I'd like. But, after the show, in the cooler weather, I imagine I'll get to chop some wood and enjoy a bonfire or 2 down at the pond!
