Me And My Shadow (and other pics)

Walked past the bedroom yesterday morning and got such an interesting view of Simon - the BRIGHT sunlight was coming in (before it got all dreary out), and there was some pretty high contrast going on... I really liked the way the different shadows played on the ground, with Simon caught in the middle of the shadowy spiderweb.


As part of our errand runs yesterday, I picked up some deck planters to attach to the back deck. I actually did a lot of shopping and comparing, and decided to go with something a little more expensive than the cheaper/shallower ones I found at WalMart. Sure, the price was better, but I'd easily pay the difference in trying to keep something that shallow watered! So I got two long ones (like the picture below) and two short... Really looking forward to planting these suckers and getting some stuff growing in them this summer! Oh, and the cats had to make sure they approved.


Speaking of cats, we came out from the bedroom this morning and found Simon and Moxie cuddled up in the leather chair. Admittedly, it had gotten a bit chilly over night... Simon usually sleeps with us, but these two spent a lot of time sleeping together when they were kittens (aka "last year"). Good to see they haven't fully outgrown that!
