Sunday with Sheebie!

Friends and Kitties!

Sheebie here.
Today's post is kinda a mishmash of a whole bunch of stuff; sort of like my mind.  It's all there, but fairly jumbled!

First up is Park Across the Street News:

There's stuff happening!  Tuesday two big trucks came and dumped several loads of rock and gravel.  I think it will be used for road bed underlayment.  Sonotube forms are sticking up all over for the concrete streetlight  piers, and the place is crawling with workers and equipment every day.

  Poor Bibbles, she is afraid Deeply Suspicious of big truck sounds and her outdoor enjoyment has been curtailed somewhat. 
Just not at this moment!



My Mom and Dad have a regular customer in their back yard at the birdbath:

Poppa Bob is right at home!  He spritzes the 
bushes in the yard, which thrills my Mom--NOT!  No sign of kits yet; but fingers crossed they will appear soon.

A month ago (back before the Dreaded Illness struck) I had a wonderful visit from a Canuck;  Manon, who blogs as MamaBear at Our Furry Boys.  She was in town on a business trip and came over to see the Catio and meet the crew in purrson.  We had a very enjoyable time together, toured the yard (she's quite the knowledgeable gardener!), petted cats, and chattered like magpies.  Manon is one busy gal and doesn't get to post a lot, but I sure wish she could, because she has FOUR all white kitties.
Being goofy.
Manon, come back and visit again, and thank you for the maple syrup!  It's delicious.

We have a birdbath.  It arrived on Friday, via next door.
Scott bartered a neighbor for it with the sweat off his bal...erm,...brow.  What I mean to say is, he did some labor.  Yard work.  No actual sweat was exchanged.
As of yet we've had zero customers but the fact that we are daily in the low 100's now means it's only a matter of time...

Yes, summer is finally here and I couldn't be happier.  There's something about the searing hot sun that cheers me immensely.  Or maybe that's my brain, dessicating.  Either way, I like it.


Happy Sunday!

  2. So much to admire here, as usual -- Bibbles' little chin gets my vote. I am completely lunatic for Bibbles' little chin.

  6. Wowzie!! a real live Bobby kitty!!!
    I hope kitties have a good view of that bird bath from the catio. That would make for an excellent bird TV!

  8. Wow, that is some feral cat you've got there hanging out! My human's brother brought home a baby bobcat once, half-drowned from falling into a stream with no mom around. The little guy was immediately human-friendly, so off he went to the Wildlife Waystation, which sent him to live at a German zoo since he could never go back to the wild.

  9. Wow, what fun to have visitors - and that Bobcat is awesome looking!

    We're gonna try those Natural Instinct Boost Bites - probably better for the kittens than Purina snacks...

    Hope you have a great weekend - 100 degrees - I'd be melted into a puddle...better you than me. T.

  14. Just add the water from the birdbath to dessicated brain to make mishmash. The shot of Sheebie power dressed in her jimjams makes sense somehow!

  15. A loveely cheerful post to cheer a wet Sunday. Love the last picture of your mum. How wonderful that you get the bobcat visiting and close enough for pictures. Have a great Sunday. Hugs GJ xx

  17. YIKES - M just fainted at the thought of 100! It's fun meeting other bloggers isn't it. This summer a few of us Twitter pals are having a meet up in northern Illinois, so M plans on going. Darn - I never get to go tho

  18. We have Bob Cats here too and I haven't been able to catch sight of one for awhile. One came flying out of a building we were going to training in, and that was about it. How wonderful that you can see him.

    I don't know Bibbles..is that a new baby of you all's?

    ReplyDelete
  19. How cool! A visit from Poppa Bob! And our mom loves your mom's ensembles! Comfy is the way to go!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Love your Mom's outfit.. she must shop at the same store as our Mom.

    What fun to meet Manon! We have met a few of our internet friends and enjoy them so much, although some of us are too shy to come out from hiding.

    Your Mom's Mom is lucky to be able to see Poppa Bob!! It's so good to see wildlife being wild!!

    Happy Sunday to all..

    HAPPY HAPPY Sunday everyone!

  22. Whoa, that is quite the backyard visitor your parents have! Also, LOL at "Or maybe that's my brain, dessicating." I visited my sister in Texas last week and I'm pretty sure my brain dessicated. The HEAT!

  23. Poppa Bob is so exciting! All the good stuff is at your place. Love the summer outfit!

  24. A goofy Canuck? That seems redundant.

  25. HaHaHa! D ma's comment above!! :)
    Trish we are much alike: Mo Hotta Mo Betta!
    Scooby was deathly afraid of noisy truck day too (garbage day) and the UPS & Fed EX trucks.
    I am totally jealous of Manon and her visit! I want so much to be a visitor to the catio and love up the entire horde....oh, and meet you & Scott too of course....! Lynne

  26. Oh.....the bobcat is a magnificent fellow. Bet any babies Mombob brings around will be definitely squee-worthy!!

  27. OMC is that some type of lynx...sorry I'm so unfamiliar with the wild cats...love his little ears.

    OH Tish we were on our porch this afternoon and lo and behold we turned around and there was a fox about 5' from my hubby's foot about to come up on the porch. I took pictures once we ran inside LOL but for some reason when I load them (which I have been trying to do for over 30 min) on Blogger they appear as horiztonal colored lines...weird. Maybe they will load tomorrow.
    Hugs C

  28. That is an awesome looking Bob Cat. That would be fun to have babies appear. We had fox babies once where I used to live and that was really fun.
    The bird bath is terrific.
    Bet the machinery outside does make a lot of loud noises. Glad you had good visit. Have a great Sunday.
