Happy Sunday, peeps and pets!
Vivian K. Perry here, filling in for Jennifer who is up to her eyeballs in paint cans, brushes and rollers this weekend. Besides that, she needed a break from her laptop, as she’s been busy this month outlining a new novel.
Anyhoo, I’m sharing several photos of yours truly today. I want to show you a little bit of what an ordinary day looks like for a fourteen year-old feline like moi. I love to explore around Perry’s Point every day, rain or shine, because I’m an excellent watch-cat. These two photos were taken during a misty morning vole hunt.
I happen to have a fondness for ordinary, drama-free days. No pressure, no worries, and oodles of moments I can spend any way I please.
My peeps noticed that I’m doing something new recently. I look for warm spots! Does this mean I’m finding it colder than I used to? Perhaps it goes along with my advancing years. In the photo below, I am in Jennifer’s recently vacated (warm) spot. I’m always stealing it.
May I help you? No, this isn't a guilty look. This is my spot now, so kindly buzz off.“It has taken awhile, but I certainly do know it now – the most wonderful gift I had, the gift I finally learned to cherish above all else, was the gift of all those perfectly ordinary days.” ~ Katrina Kenison, author of The Gift of an Ordinary Day: A Mother’s Memoir
A little late, but this has been my take on Lens-Artists Photo Challenge 169: The Ordinary
Have a purr-fect week, everyone!
Head bumps and nose kisses, Vivian

Well, you are very much a part of Perry’s Point! Vivian knows that she needs to check on you too, like a good watch-cat should. She even patrols your property when you’re away. 🙂

Hello Vivian – yes, special days are remembered, but the ordinary days are the dearest. And by the way, you are very confident about taking possession of Jennifer’s chair! Do you think she’ll give in? 😉

Ah Vivian ! Our huMom likes calm “boring” days too. (You and she are probably about the same age.) You certainly seem to be mistress of your domain !

Yes, after a life with our fair share of drama, we relish the calm of uneventful days. And Vivian is indeed the mistress of this domain. We are simply her loyal staff. 🙂

Seeking out warm spots isn’t about age. It’s about being a cat. My young ones do it all the time. They move from spot to spot as the sun moves in the afaternoon!

Yes you’re probably right. It’s just that Maisie, God rest her, liked warm spots from day one whereas Viv only recently did so. Except for the patches of sun!! They both loved those.
