All Show and No Chew!!!!

Yesterday I bought 96 pouches of cat food in 4 different flavors.  I then sorted them into boxes so the kitties would have a different meal every meal for 2 days. But, guess what the very last pouch I pulled out of the bag looked like?

No problem. Mom will handle it for us!

It was totally empty. All sealed up like the others, but totally empty.  Wonder how often this happens? I threw away the receipt so sure Walmart won’t trade it for a full one so guess I’ll just keep it as a souvenir.

S.O.S.: For The Sunday Whirl Wordle 618

S.O.S

Debris that’s caught up by the wind swells and rips and surges,
then falls to blanket ponds and fields and fill up roadside verges.
We trace its patterns in the woods, caught up along the trail.
We try to overlook it in the passing, but we fail.

It rolls down meadow pathways formerly pristine.
We trace its ugly progress through every canyon scene—
in a plastic bag’s graffiti plastered to a cavern wall.
Who will come to rescue our world before its fall?

Is any wiser culture listening for the call
from out there in the Universe, far from this spinning ball
that we are all trapped on, choking in the air
created by our progress, as we strip it bare?

 

The Sunday Whirl  Wordle 618 prompts today are: call, trace, rescue, debris, wind, swell, rip, surge, pass, rolls, trail, woods

Milk Thistle: For Cee’s FOTD Sept 3, 2023

Although I thought this was a thistle, I couldn’t find it by Googling it and my plant identifier said it wasn’t a flower!  Finally I took a photo of my photo and reduced it in size and sharpened it and put it through the plant identifier again and sure enough, milk thistle!  All in all I spent nearly an hour trying to post and identify. Crazy.

Remember my post about the hungry nest of just-hatched swallows in my neighbors’ garage? HERE is a link to it if you didn’t see it. Well, above are four current photos of the hatchlings, who have now flown the nest. Photos taken on their terrace by my neighbor David Bershad.

Here are the same birdies before in a photo taken by me in their garage:

Oops. Had to pause in my passing and snap this lovely flower mural on a wall in Ajijic; Caught a bit of my car window in the bottom corner. Lots of new murals going up in town.

After the Earthquake: Still Life with Cat

Kukla and Ollie’s usual resting place on the garage counter has been taken over by Jesus and Eduardo who are repainting the murals on my rebuilt walls. As usual, this cat knows the perfect pose for every situation and scene.
