Mornings With Moula

A few years ago- when Moula was still here; Mother's Uncle Gerry and Aunt Carole came to visit. I remember it well. Arabella was still a little puppy.Moula kept saying that Uncle looked very much  like her Poppy- when she was very small. Uncle Gerry brought Mother lots of plants from his garden and mother planted them straightaway. And they did not bloom . Until  last year. Mother is very happy about these flowers blooming because Uncle Gerry is not feeling well enough to come visit us so she looks at the flowers and remembers  the visit from long ago. We  all went for walkies with Mother and Auntie Ginnie before our morning naps. The sun was out and the breeze was cool against our noses. Mia was happy to be in the shade. We had enough of outside and asked Mother to let us nap inside. I suppose there are lots of things that remind me of Moula and that makes me smile. It is good to have things that remind us of the people we love. M

I think we are getting tired of these stormy days and stormy nights. Ma came inside last night completely covered in mud. Father did not see the mud because her fur is black. The kitchen was covered in mud. Mother was not happy  at all. Mia did not care that she smeared mud everywhere she went. Mother did not want to let us out in the morning because she was afraid we would be covered in mud again. But Ari thought  she saw a squirrel. So we  sat and discussed what we would do once we went outside. Mother took us for walkies and we saw Emmie down the street. It has been  a very long time since we said hello. We were all tired from our walks. Auntie Ginnie and Mother went for walkies too- then came back for tea. We gave her lots of fusses and kisses and she did not say a word about the mud. I suppose where there are storms- there will be mud May your days be filled with peace my friends...

We could feel it all through the night.  The winds pushing thethe thunder and lightening all around us. The storms made the lights go out and come back on again. and Reggie's parents came to get him to take him home. He was happy to see them but also sad to be leaving us. The sun came out in the morning and the clouds came by and left then came by again. Mother and Auntie Ginnie took each of us for a walk. But the sun made it too hot and we rather hang out in the coolness of the garden. The winds have started howling like a wolf to the moon. The clouds hide the sun then move like a heavenly game of peek a boo. We can taste the rain with our eyes and ears and tongue. As we wait for the storms again- all through the night. May your days be filled with peace my friends...

We knew it could not last- this beautiful hot weather. This morning was wet and and sprinkling with raindrops. We begged Mother to make it stop but the chilly rain kept falling. Mother took us each for a walk in the rain- Her leg is feeling much better now I think. We were able to get outside in between the raindrops. but mostly we stayed together inside. Mia went for walkies with Mother and Auntie Ginnie- in the pouring rain. But at least it was not thundering outside. Auntie Ginnie came to warm up with some tea and Ari kissed her right away. She loves her Auntie. Almost as much as Izzy loves her Auntie..... Almost..... The boomers came rolling into our garden. It sounds like rocks rolling down a mountain- if there were rocks rolling down a mountain- I would hide somewhere safe so that is why we  are all inside snuggling down and listening to the thunder. "Boom  boom BOOM!" Can't wait until the thunder rolls away. May
