…for all your lovely thoughts.
Sad as I am, I wouldn’t trade the 16 wonderful years I had with my baby Jeep. 16 years ago she was on our roof.
Jeep ” You walked out of my dreams, and into my arms (ahh)
Now you’re my angel divine”
Thank You

Sick Cat
My 16 year old Jeep had a stroke last night.
24 hour at home observation. She’s resting comfortably. Phone consultation with Vet late afternoon. She will come back tonight if necessary. Otherwise…tomorrow.
Broken hearted. Will come back to answer squirrel comments as soon as possible.
Night Owl
Owls are largely nocturnal hunters.
They might hunt from a tree like my tree (aka Resa’s Tree), which lives on Tim’s Magic Tree Sanctuary
However, I found this owl in the daytime.
You’ll notice no owls in my daytime tree!
This owl is actually sitting on rocks by porch steps.
As day closes…
My tree awaits.

Year of the Wood Dragon
It’s said that Wood Dragon years bring evolution, improvement, and abundance. So, I went to Chinatown to find a Wood Dragon, and found a Qilin Dragon.
Head of a Dragon, Body of a Lion and Hooves of a Goat or Horse, it’s said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a sage or illustrious ruler.
Qilin is said to be a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, and wisdom, and it is believed to have the ability to walk on grass without disturbing it, as well as to breathe fire.
Chinatown is a busy, colourful place so one could miss this striking statue (it’s on a side street) when passing by.
There’s boatloads of info on all of the Chinese Lunar Dragons and the Qilin (Qi = Man & Lin = Woman) online.
5 years ago, I found a Chinese Lunar Calendar mural. Above is the dragon, who represents all of the Dragons: Earth, Metal, Water, Wood & Fire.
The wall the mural is above is 5 feet high, so I had to aim up with the camera. It is also a long mural stretching across 80 – 100 ft. of parking lot.
It’s displayed with 6 of the animals on each side separated by 3 charts.
You can read the charts easier by clicking on them.
Here are all the animals in a Slideshow.

The Best Sleepover Ever!
I love my cat pyjamas!
It’s the days before Chickmas at the Coop. Things are gearing up for a wonderful holiday with the Chicklets and all their friends.
Scorpio
From Marina Kanavaki at Art Towards a Happy day, here is the eighth sign of the Zodiac as imagined by Anakreon Kanavakis, Marina’s father. Seeing each astrological sign go by, in a drawing by him, is adding another joy to my life.
It’s crazy that another month under the sun signs has zoomed by so quickly. I also, for the first time ever, noted that Hallowe’en falls in Scorpio.
Cameron House
The Cameron House was built in 1880.
In 1895, the structure became the “John Burns Hotel.”
In 1896, it became the “Cameron House”.
In the early 1920’s it became a working hotel.
In 1981 it became a venue/hotel for the bohemian arts crowd featuring music, performance, and visual art.
It remains so to this day.
The music venue holds about 60 people.
