Kalanchoe: FOTD Dec 15, 2022

17 Replies

After Zoe ate or dug up all my Kalanchoe, I vowed not to get any more but I couldn’t resist these, and they are in the front yard which is the domain of the cats. No dogs allowed, usually, unless Paciano leaves the gate open. Now, why the photo of Kukla when she was tiny? Oddly enough, when I checked my media file to make sure I hadn’t used this photo of the kalanchoe yet, I found that her photo had the exact same number! How this happens I don’t know, but since the cats leave the kalanchoe alone, I decided she could stay.

Kitten Agenda

Skittering upward,
Climbing my cape,
An agile kitten
Makes her escape.
Prancing the hallway,
Evading my grasp,
Rattling the padlock to
Swing on its hasp.

Scampering everywhere,
Chasing small bugs.
Acrobat tunneling,
Mounding the rugs.
Purring rapscallion
Explores with no map.
Rests at her day’s end
Secure in my lap.

The prompt today is scamper.

Fierce

When first he turned up on their lawn,
he might have been the Devil’s spawn.
He hissed and sputtered––showed tooth and claw––
fierce growls emitting from his widespread maw.
They feared they might be scratched or bitten,
yet took a chance ––and tamed the kitten!

(I think you’ll want to click on the below photos to enlarge them. You’ve seen some of them before, but worth reviewing imho.)

prompt word today was “Fierce.”
