“Dey know, the fluffy buggers, I can’t get ’em. But I still duz my best to rattle the window!”
We’re indoor cat people, partly because we live on a ravine and outdoor cats disappear fast around here with the coyotes around, and also because even well-fed cats cannot resist killing birds.
Cats can be very happy indoors, but it takes a lot of play time and interaction.
But that’s why we love ’em to begin with, eh?
Our last cat, Choco, was nervous outdoors, and would only go out supervised in a harness to chew on some grass, sticking very close to home.
New rescue kitty Sora has not been introduced to the harness yet, that’s still a bit down the road.
When we came back from our Byrne Creek ravine walk in SE Burnaby, BC, late this afternoon, we spotted a female Black-Throated Gray Warbler and some hummers hanging about.
Stopped at Porteau Cove on the way home from a one-night camping trip. This favourite stop on the Sea to Sky featured nearly indistinguishable colors, sea to sky : – ).
Zipped up the Sea to Sky yesterday for a one-night camping trip at Nairn Falls Provincial Park.
Realized that we’ve had this trusty axe for 20 years. It’s a midsize, great for car camping, tho occasionally I’d like something with about a pound heavier head and foot longer handle.
Casserole with three colours of peppers, mushrooms, and Gardein meatless ground. It’s gonna disappear just as fast as one with hamburger in it!
This from a guy who grew up in the day when the family would literally order half a cow processed into steaks, roasts, and ground beef for the chest freezer every year. . .
Yumi and I had a blast visiting the BC Mills House and exploring Lynn Creek at a Metro Vancouver Parks event on forests and climate change. Great displays, and informative and friendly interpreters.
Yumi also spotted water bugs and fry, so that made the day complete .
Yumi decided not to pursue a new career fighting forest fires : – )
The rescue folks had a display as well. Gear up, be prepared and let someone know where you’re going!
BC Hydro approached Byrne Creek Streamkeepers to get a creek orientation.
Folks were so enthusiastic about exploring the creek and ravine today that a 15-minute site meeting turned into a two-hour ramble!
Hydro staff are planning a watershed display and activities during the Rivers Day week in September, and BCSS volunteers will set up our booth and information display at the Hydro building, and perhaps lead a creek tour or two.
