This Rose Breasted Grosbeak visits our feeder frequently, and he brings his wife too. One day they both were on the same feeder...but alas when petcretary got her camera out they were both gone. Burds just never sit still too long...And for some reason there are no pictures - let alone selfies of Mrs RBGrosbeak. She kind of looks like a huge sparrow, and has lots of stripes, but no rose coloring on her breast. (The quality of some of these are not the best, they were taken through the window glass and screen...)

It was Victoria Day here past Monday. Petcretary wanted to hang out her Canadian Flag in honor of that festive day, but it was too rainy...
Here are some older graphics...many of you have already seen them:) Being back from her Vacation means that she is working and doing lots of not kitty/doggy things...sigh...
Tomorrow is Memorial Day. A solemn day to honor our fallen heroes. So once we have taken time to think upon the price of our freedom, and only then...we can indulge in some holiday doings...but...petcretary is working this weekend. Go figure. Oh well, she doesn't mind that much; some of her residents are veterans and there are activities there for them too.
May 26th was the birthday of 2 of our furblings, now angels. Angel Simba and Angel Toki. No, they were not twins at all, MOL! They were years apart...but petcretary thought it was so right that they actually shared a mutual birthday. Angel Simba was the kitty here, {along with Angel)Groucho}, when our unfurbros were born. Angel Simba went unexpectedly and tragically to the RB when those unfurs were toddlers. So then we got (Angel)Suki and shortly after that came Angel Toki. He too was a kitty clown like Simba and he even got to go to school a few times:)
Angel Toki had to leave us, too, due to an overwhelming illness he had acquired and we coudn't help him...sigh...

Manytoes from Catster sent us these lovely mementos of these two Angel Kitties from our furmily.
Most of you know our good blogging friend, Miss Ellen from 15&Meowing. She sadly had to say goodby to her dear sweet Snowball, on May 26th.
So petcretary helped us make a memento for her, too. Sheesh, so many losses lately. We send our love, purrs and soft aroos to all the sad hearts to help comfort them a bit.
We are hopping along with The Cat On My Head |
