Bud and Roxie love going out on the balcony to survey their kingdom. Not long after, Bud was pawing at the screen to come in.

Not with that in your mouth!

Casey, that picture has always been one of my very favourites that you post. It's so regal, and calming.

Summer, lovely daylily. What is it's name. I love what Mom Nature does with the colors of flowers. This is day lily Frank League. That glowing yellow center blows me away.

We had dinner with our neighbors last night at Landry's seafood. I ordered Bananas Foster to share with the table. It was so pretty and very good. I enjoyed a few bites.

Hello deer!

Presidential Palace, Vientiane, Laos:

That looks so yummy, Raven! I've had Bananas Foster only once and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I've only had Bananas Foster once and it was at a seafood restaurant too, years ago. I also shared with my SO at the time.

I'm glad that no one bashed Bud catching a bird. I am totally against people who let their cats loose to roam free in the neighbourhood, killing birds, pooping in flowerbeds and being at risk for their own lives.

But Bud was on his balcony, surveying his kingdom. I'd love to know how he even caught the bird. Whether it was on the floor, on the railing, I don't know.

He's on a partial raw diet......he won't transition to raw completely, and he does like chicken. He won't eat the beef, pork, kangaroo, turkey, rabbit meats, but he does love our meat that I prepare. Beef, pork, chicken, hamburger, etc.

I gave him and Roxie a smelt that was cut up, and this was his reaction......

He looks underwhelmed, Jasdip!

I know he is thinking something sarcastic :-)

lunch/brunch with two dear friends, today.

Strawberry blintz for me, and it was outstanding. Pic didn't come out so good.

Friend's husband had the knockwurst with homemade vinegar chips

Friend had bluesy grits with an egg, scallions, bacon and blueberry cornbread

I came up this hill earlier!

Igmd_gaz - Thank you. It is Skullduggery. I find the really dark ones, like your beauty, are difficult to photograph.

"And this is the reward I get for catching that thing that was flying around on our deck????"

I laughed, too. My cats give me the same look whenever I think I've found something delectable for them. "Just give me the canned cat food, please".
