Thank y'all for the kind words! The rock, yes, the rock is real and was dragged there (leaving a gash in the driveway) after a rookie plower hit the fill cap of the buried 1000 gal. propane tank (!). You can see the fill cap behind the cat to the right. It is the kind of rock that needs an occupant. Soon, it will need some muriatic acid as well, I made a mess. The eyes need to be some sort of convex, opaqueish glass, plastic, mica, mother-of-pearl or? lens, reflector, bottle bottom 1 1/2" in diameter THINGS. I think I've seen small magnifying glasses that size at the dollar store. Any other ideas? I've got some clear pearlescent glass beads for the grin, they now need some silicone gums and a good adhesive, silicone won't adhere well at all to concrete. It works with the light, I tested. He's a big cat, about 3' as if you were Alice. Around him I'm growing giant Allium, a Musa Basjoo, Tropicannas and probably Hibiscus. I'm obviously having a ball! Thanks for joining in on the fun.

Could this be why I have little rabbit trouble in the garden? Cujo hasn't outgrown this; I hope he never does. I know, I know... I don't exactly encourage it, but about all I can do is vaccinate him and take his rabbit kill away from him if I see him with one, after I take an adorable pet pic LOL (Mice and voles, bon appetite, he can KEEP 'em). He gets a 'Good Boy!' when he kills a vole! This post was edited by Don_in_Colorado on Thu, Aug 21, 14 at 16:07

The grass is always greener. I hope to machine quilt someday, lol. Beautiful work, Carole. I did get my quilting all done. The quilt is upstairs now, back home in the sewing room, a pound heavier from cat fur. What is it about cats and quilts? I shall need to launder it now for sure as my son has allergie s to cats. The iron is plugged in now and heating and I have the material ripped for the bias binding I'll be putting on today. I missed the deadline by a day or two to get it completely done, but not by much. I am still giving myself a silver star, maybe not gold, but wow........it was close. Thanks again for the motivation. I'll post a pic when I get it drying on the line.

Raye, I am absolutely positive that if the lights gave them headaches i would hear about it endlessly. As I said those people who whine LOVE to do so about anything and everything they can. So if they had a solid medical reason to complain they would without hesitation. They turn them on because they are fuddy duddies which is not a medical condition but a character flaw. How do I know? For years there was an orange tabby cat named Joe at the facility. Some of us would let him in the office to sleep or hang out from time to time. The night fuddy duddy did not know this for around 6 months. When he found out,all of a sudden he feigned an allergy to cats. I still let the cat in. I do have an allergy to cats,a pretty severe one and simply took a Claritin every day. Didnt bother me.I told night fuddy duddy I stopped letting him in. Magicaly his deathly cat allergy didnt bother him anymore when he didn't think there was something to back it up. (He has 3 cats in his home now,btw. They belong to his grandaughter, who lives with him. This was a few years ago and he denies any of it happened) This man has had every joint replaced or tuned up in the years I have been there. And I JUST worked two of HIS shifts in a row because he got a flu shot and now thinks he's is on deaths door. If the lights gave him a headache, I would know about it. He calls me at least twice a week while I am at work to list his ailments. The day fuddy duddy decorates her own home and was VERY proud of her tree which rotates and changes colors and has several different light patterns. She only makes snide comments about MY decor. As I said before,she has a difficult and undesirable personality that leads her to disparage others efforts for whatever reason. And that does not apply to just me or my decor. Anything positive or fun that any of us try to do she has something nasty to say about it. Its. WEIRD. Besides, both of them declare they LOVE the decor and look forward to it and ask me when it's going up. Then it goes up, and the mood changes..... Tell you what. I'll mention your headache suggestion to them. They probably just haven't thought of it,as it doesn't apply to them. The would LOVE another reason to complain. Even if it's a lie.
