Making friends with Moo

I think Moo the cat has been watching us as we take our  walks.  Occasionally he darts out

for a look and then makes a quick escape as Bianca makes her move.  But on Monday, he could no longer resist her entreaties to - 'let's just be friends.' 

 

When they reached this point of trust, it was amusing to watch their sharing of the moment.  Both were noticing  the same sounds and movements, watching in unison a flitting butterfly or ears perking up at a distant train whistle.  Very cute to watch.  Two friends enjoying a summer day.   
                                       

The BLT

BASIL,LETTUCE AND TOMATO

Back when I was a meat eater (pre 1998) there was one food I could always rely on to make me feel good.  The bacon-lettuce and tomato sandwich. 

Most vegetarian converts on initially switching to the non-meat eating diet will think of one dish that they think they will really miss and mine was the BLT.  Somehow no matter how tired, hungry, stressed, I could eat one of those sandwiches and all was better.  Now of course the thought of eating bacon makes me squeamish.  But one always needs a comfort food.  Especially after a night of work that is especially difficult.  My fellow blogger and co-worker has a phrase that sums it up - Quelle Horreur!  I had one of those shifts of which I'll spare even myself from repeating the details.

I now have my new and improved comfort food with the new B in the BLT being the  delectable Puple Basil with Sungold Tomatoes and Red French Crisp Lettuce all fresh from the mornings Farmer's Market - aah. 

Now I'm ready for work again..

Monday's hike

Trail Marker

For about one hour , Bianca and I 'hiked' the trail along Longfellow creek and nearby environs.

                                 I heard through the grapevine that she slept really well that night.

Library Day

 First trip to the West Seattle Library

This looks like a good one

Clouds of June

Early June in Seattle along Alki and still waiting for sunshine.   The reflection of light on the clouds is the only sign that the sun is still hiding about up there

 While waiting for a day of full sun, I decided that I might as well enjoy the clouds. They are pretty glorious. 

When the sun finally showed itself in all its glory this Saturday it was my weekend to work.  Sigh.

  

 

A Cat Named Moo

I feel inspired to write a country song.  A cat named 'Moo' puts me in mind of  "A Boy Named Sue".  I learned that the owner was reminded of a Holstein because of the black and white. 
Well, I guess...

She does seem to like grazing in the grass

   Bianca  knows the proper sounds animals are supposed to make.   Cat and moo was just not computing.  But she liked this new found friend with obvious enthusiasm.  For Moo's part she kept on the move not sure what to make of it all.
