Tuesdays With Tag - I Give Up...

 Hi, Everybody!

I hope everybody had a great holiday weekend. I spent lots of time outside with Mom, watchin' her work in the yard, and just hangin' out.

Sunday, she and Dad got busy pullin' weeds and tidyin' up the place. They mowed the yard, and then Mom took a shower, came back downstairs and took me out on the porch with her to take in the view (and admire their handwork.) They still have the front terrace to finish - they're tryin' to decide what they want to do there - so don't look too close at those weeds.

So, anyway, she was lookin' so relaxed, I decided to jump up on the chaise to join her. It wasn't long before Madame Purrsalot sauntered over and crawled up next to me casual-as-you-please! At least, Crystal is too shy to curl up with me, too! (Thank Heaven for small blessin's.)

Yes. I voiced a couple objections, to no avail. Mom was so comfy, I didn't want to upset the applecart, so I just flat gave up. I decided as long as Miss Hissypants didn't punch me in the face, I wouldn't cause a ruckus.

She curled up against my butt (sheesh), started purrin', and went to sleep. I looked at Mom and she just smiled, so obviously I wasn't gonna get an assist from her! So, what did I do?

I gave up is what I did! I watched the farmer makin' hay in the field. I listened to the chipmunks and birds, and I caught some scents on the breeze. I was worth it. After a while, Mom said it was time to make dinner. She fed the Barn Girls while Dad fed us, and then she made dinner for her and Dad.

Kind of a perfect holiday, wouldn't you say? Just another episode of Hickory Hill Farm's version of "All Creatures, Great and Small". sigh

I'll see you again in seven. 'til then... 

"Been There, Chewed That!"
