Our Spooky Boy Pondering about Summer...

Hope you all have had a good summer so far, with lots of sunny days for outdoor activities!
Our cats are in heaven when the weather is sunny and warm; not too warm...


Wishing you all a happy weekend to come!
Those readers from the southern hemisphere, enjoy your upcoming spring time.

  8. Cute Spooky boy!!! I hope you have a nice end of summer, dear Mariette!
    We go to the beach every day and the sea temperature is very pleasant! Some days it is very hot and I wish we had some rain, but...not in our area!
    Have a nice weekend, dear friend!

  9. Spooky is a handsome boy. Way to hot here for outdoor activities. Looking forward to a change in the weather over the next new months and then it will be planting season again. Worried that because we've not had much dust this summer, that means we may have a very rainy winter season. I love rain, but not in this country. Just causes so many problems. Hope all is well with you. Happy Friday and best wishes for a lovely weekend.

  17. Querida Mariette! Boa tarde! Aqui 15:46.
    Sim, tivemos um inverno mais fraco. Mas parece que o verão vem forte. Eu não aprecio temperaturas quentes, mas gosto da primavera.
    O gato é belo, elegante, como todo o felino.

  18. Cara Mariette, anch'io ho una bellissima gatta nera che si chiama Mirtilla e quando c'è il sole si diverte a rotolarsi nell'erba.
    Amo tantissimo i gatti, i neri particolarmente.
    Ti auguro una felice notte, Lorena
