Please indulge me!

These photos are nearly two weeks old, but this was the first opportunity I had to post them. In fact, this is a scheduled post because I am nowhere near my computer today. Please indulge me, because this post is all about Bleubeard. He is SO happy to be outside, because I have not allowed him out all winter or even so far this spring. (As an aside, can you see the sage in the distant background that has already taken over the pot this spring?)


I have not allowed him outside because I've been worried about him for various reasons, not the least of which seems to be the new tick scare that has hit our area.


But on this day, he was content to be outside with me, while I was planting herbs and veggies in the garden.


Most all my herbs were already planted in pots, so it was a great day


for a photo shoot. After all, he seldom sits still.


As I planted bell peppers and eggplant, he became restless. At first I thought he had lost interest. His attention span is about on par with MINE.


But, no, it was soon evident he was content to oversee the planting process,


and contemplate the universe in his own cat brain way.


I'm SO glad he let me take all these shots, because he normally runs when I pull out the camera.


But running away didn't happen this day, as he watched me plant tomatoes, eggplant, and one lonely bell pepper.


I wish he'd help me weed. I could use a good hand (or even a paw) with that!


Gosh, that mulch must be incredibly hard to stand on. I know I had trouble kneeling on it, since I don't own a knee holder thingy (technical term for a big knee pad).


OK, I admit it. This photo is for me. It is a photo of Heirloom Summer Savory, which I planted in the pot. I'm fairly certain you can see at least a part of the pot of sage, now. I need to learn how to make those sage wands people light and use to cleanse a room. I have finally found a site that showed me how to make what they call "smudge wands." I have cut my sage and now have a few of these wands drying.


Back to reality.


I'm just rejoicing in the many faces,


expressions,


glances,


stares,


poses,


and positions he manages


to get into. Thanks ever so much for indulging me and thanks to those of you who enjoy seeing Bleubeard and some of his antics. Today was a real Bleubeard photo op day!! Sorry I won't be here to thank you on your blog, but I promise we'll both be back soon.
