The Apple Doesn't Fall Far

 I was totally into this new book as I leaned back against the apple tree in the lovely warm spring sunshine. The dogs were hanging out with me, enjoying themselves in the cart and I had brought along a lovely picnic to savor while getting in some great "me" time. Just then, a very exciting twist leaped into my sight from the page I was reading and I accidently bumped against the tree, sending an apple plummeting down to the ground. It was at that point I happened to glance behind me and notice two very content bear cubs enjoying my picnic!

Waiting for a Call

Nothing makes me crazier than waiting for a call to come in. Especially when the call is coming in on the landline, so of course I cannot leave or I may miss the call. So, sitting here with a buncha cats, not sure why I have  so many cats about my house lately..but at least I can enjoy this new decor and look stylin in my outfit.
