Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

Today's photo challenge

My first thought when I saw this photo was the song, 

"Muskrat love', written by Willis Alan Ramsey

performed by Captain and Tennille in 1980

Here are the first three verses of Musk Rat Love, 

I will write a version of Hedge Hog love in red under each verse 

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin', it's pretty pleasin'

Hedge hog, hedge hog walking around,
Doin' the town in fine style in your barefeet
In the mornin' lookin' fine in the rising sun
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug
Out in the muskrat land
And they shimmy
Sam is so skinny

Hedge hog Hank and Hedge hog Heidi
Doin' two step on the street
You shimmy to the right and shimmy to the left
Both of you well groomed and lookin' fine
And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
Looks like muskrat love

They whirl and the twirl
to the music in they hear in their Hedge hog ears
Gentle breezes blowing,  melodies

flowing sure looks like Hedge hog love to me

Great fun in the sun
Only for the most fit
Long limbs needed
Four par makes you a star

Sweet Kitty and Precious puppy
.
An amazing family came into the shelter looking for
furry friends, 
The first thing they saw a puppy tenderly holding a kitty's tail
in his mouth.
What is their story they asked? 
The shelter told the family they were both found cuddled
together. 
Their bond was like no other, said he volunteer
The family said we want them both...we'll become their 
furever family.
The volunteer smiled, the children squealed with glee.
We are now a family of  six, 
We'll teach them tricks 
Give them lots love and toys
We'll call the kitty Mitch and the Puppy Patch.

No matter where I am, or the season

My mind's eye finds a reason

to see mountains in all their glory.

They are my happy place to go exploring.

Thankful today.  

Photo snapped September 24, 2016

(This picture was taken right outside of Boone, NC in the beautiful NC mountains)
Mom has no idea how she got the pink hue.

Today's photo challenge


It was an all you can eat buffet.
My tummy said yummy
I grabbed a plate plied it high
My eyes said OH My
When I looked in the mirror,
To my surprise, I saw Little Miss Muffet
Peeping over the mile high  pile.
with smiling eyes

Today's photo challenge

This photo reminded me of a true story about Me at Three. 

 I'm told I was quite happy there was no crying

**************************

When I was a wee lass,

oh about three

I decided being hair stylist was for me

I had no customers. 

So I looked high and low

and OMDs there was

Lady and her puppies waiting for me.

Lady was my  Annie Ma's (maternal grandmother) Collie.

They were sleeping and quite as could be

So they my customers would be.

Needless to say, my profession was C U T

short when Annie Ma found  me.

She squealed NOT with GLEE

Where did you get the scissors???

give them to me which I did with a fist full of Collie furs.

*********************

 I don't remember this but I was told the first thing I said: 

"Was Lady and her puppies did not move".


Thankful Thursday hosted

Today at 9 am I will be sitting my my dentist's chair for hours and hours

I have to have a  very old bridge replaced. Prep work begins today to replace what I am calling 

THE Great Extension BRIDGE

I will be very thankful when this is over
