Saturday Doings...

Posted on 6:52 PM by jimmy

Here is my photo for "Pink Saturday"...my first Zinnia (from seed)!



I was so excited!



 My friend Elaine and I saw HUGE ones last fall at a a pumpkin/gourd place in Arkansas...



I knew I wanted to plant some this year, for sure...



It's going to be a while before mine look like those we saw, though...;^)

It started out as a yawny kind of day...
 
I don't really want to go paint...
 
I'd rather play with the kitties...

"Play with me, Mom...get the feather-toy..."



How could I refuse?

Mom, there's a moth on the ceiling!



Someone needs to put it outside...



If it comes down here, I'll have to eat it...

Here's Tallulah ~ "Woo" ~ she loves those little foil-ball kitty toys...there's no telling how many of them are under the couch...





I write about her, but I don't take many photos, as she is just not


a "poser" like the boys are. She's always running; flying up the stairs and down the stairs, hoping Leo or Cyrus will chase her and play.




Sometimes they do. Not as much as she'd like, though..

.




Sometimes I think I need another little girl kitten for her to play with...




I've been pretty good, though. My Crazy Cat Lady tendencies are under control right now ~






But I could fall off the wagon at any time...:^)

It seemed like a good idea to procrastinate about painting a little while longer, so I went out to the herb garden and got some fresh catnip....Ummmm!





We had a little Kitty Party.

Okay, back to work...I don't know why I put it off; I really am happiest when I'm "in the zone" painting...I wonder why we "put off" happiness?



Surely I'm not the only one...



Some of you have asked how the paintings are progressing, and you can see a little here. My little saucers with an individual paint color or two allow me to go back and forth between the two paintings (although they have a lot of colors in common), without worrying about having to switch colors around in the big palette.

Okay, one last litte bit of PROCRASTINATING...



I've had these beautiful deep blue and purple hydrangeas in my Mom's little crock for almost a week, now...



I was going to set up another still-life, but I just never did...



I thought I at least needed to try and photograph them before they completely gave out...



But of course, I immediately had "Kitty Help"...



Tallulah was fascinated with something deep inside the bouquet...the water?



Who knows...



She's not going to leave them alone for me to take a picture, though...



"Talk to the tail!" Tallulah says...

Now Cyrus has to get in on it...



I've given up...;^)



I need to paint.



Hope everyone is having a great weekend, "allowing" yourselves happiness!
