“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

Take a word challenge

The challenge this week is black, white and red.



I decided on a kitty this time because
about four weeks ago, my little Tabitha cat
slipped out the back door.


 It was around ten in the evening..
We spent 6 1/2 hours looking for her..up and down the streets,
calling for her..crying..worrying..walking..
I'd read that if your cat gets out, 
you should put their litter box outside by the door, they can smell it and
will come back to use it, if they are so inclined..
also recommended..
heat up tuna or wet cat food in the microwave and set it outside.
(the stinkier the better) 
When calling out for your pet..use a soothing voice..they can tell if you're stressed out .
Long story short..
we got her back..
she was super skittish and needed a good coaxing and a quick grab
to bring her in to safety, but we got her!
I'm 90% sure it was the recommendations that helped.



Hope you have a beautiful day!

Next week on the 5th is our first Haunted Humpday of the season!!
come back and visit..there might be a giveaway:) 

See you soon!

Fairy Day

Take a word Challenge this week is
'The bright colors of Summertime'

I created a Midsummer Fairy for this challenge..
yesterday was National Fairy Day
& I felt this was appropriate.
 
 




I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where ox-lips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight.

Orange and Black Birthday

It was my blog's birthday on the tenth.
I'd completely forgotten.
I've been here on blogger (off and on)
for 7 years!!
I started blogging because at the time
I had a strange separation anxiety every time
my husband left for work.
Oh, it wasn't a normal schedule, 9-5 type of thing..
It was one month gone one week home for nine to ten months of the year.
Blogging helped me cope with that irrational, emotional turmoil.

I've created many, many different types and styles of art..
Shared heartbreaks and happy stories
and
I've made friends, amazing friends, that I keep in close contact with.
 I'm so grateful!
So today I wish my little blog 
A 
very
Happy (belated) Birthday

I'm also linking up to the take a word challenge this week.
And today is the 13th day of the
