We return to our mountain spot
build our fire, burn our s’mores.
Thunder shakes the tent as a small river
runs below us. Lightning shocks me awake
between uneasy darkness and howling wind.
Would a tree fall and snuff us out?
Would the multi-colored fairy lights fly into the night?
Illuminated against large evergreen trees,
a looming grey sky watches all with unblinking eyes.
The baby slept through as I clung to rain soaked walls
and froze in awkward configurations until morning.
My girls are together at last
I miss them & their sweet purrs
Wasabi (Susie) & Kikkoman (Kikko)
Thank you for all the lessons you taught me!
We lost this beautiful girl last month. It was just over a year since Mr. Trouble passed.
I want to post more here. I was taking a break as a tribute to my fallen pet but I feel Kikko would want me to keep working on this and share her cute face.
She was a great friend and photo subject. She made the cutest noises and acted like a puppy as she would run to you when you called her name. Kikko “Monster” slept between us every night and chirped “Good morning” and gave nose kisses for her breakfast. The house feels empty without her. Sister Wasabi is lonely but doing as well as can be expected. Our little alien kitty has just gone home… We miss her so much!
Today we lost our lovely kitty Mr. Trouble. As a photographer he was naturally one of my favorite and sweetest subjects. I’m trying to remember a time before he was in pain.
Please leave comments below for Mr. Trouble or tell me about your own pets. Thanks for your support.
The last time I updated here, well it was a little while ago. However, it was for good reason. I acquired a new computer, we finished our markets and now I can resume this silly experiment called blastedgoat! I’m looking for a new camera (put any suggestions below) and I intend to update my business website too… It may be winter but there is still so much work to be done before the seed catalogs hit and I start planning my 2018 garden. Until all that excitement please enjoy some highlights from 2017:
I’ve always been fascinated by how things grow! Other structures in the distance…
A weekly photo challenge entry from blastedgoat? How Unusual! Hopefully that will not be the case any longer!
Spring was hot but so far Summer has been cooling off. We’ve had crazy thunderstorms, hail and tornadoes. Markets have been going well and are about to start booming with produce. I’ve been working on Kaleidoscope Gardens (physical and online) along with my insane part time job at Dollar Tree so I’ve had little time to update here but I’ll have an abundance to post soon!
Another issue has been my computer. It doesn’t upload from my camera anymore so I’ll have to get creative about how to get all my recent photos online. While I figure out my technical difficulties enjoy shots from our warm yet productive Spring garden:
