Much Needed Day Off

Playing with the cats (Oscar, Raku and Delly) left me rolling on the floor laughing with the realization that cats innately know how to slow down and enjoy every aspect of life, weather it be watching a bird or squirrel, playing with a rubber band, knocking pens from the table onto the floor, finding that sliver of sun comming in the window or hanging out with their friends. 

And if they don't want to do something... they don't.

Today I spent the day as if I were a cat- After our morning snowshoe, I leisurly drank coffee, checked email and surfed some pottery sites.  Spent some time looking at magazines in front of the window with the warmth  of the sun my face.  Some time was spent reflecting on life and drinking green tea, watching a movie on "Lifetime, the Womens Network" (makes me laugh), thought about doing laundry- but did not.  In the afternoon Beau  (our 12 year old, crazy, golden retriever) and I enjoyed an afternoon walk over to our friends house.

Unable to keep my hands out of clay, I pulled out the bag, I just happen to have at the house, for a little handbuilding. 

  Flower magnets and buttons ranging in size from 1/2" to about 4" 
 
Tried out a new idea for a napkin ring -Would not it be fun to have a flower napkin ring?

Wishing you a cat like day in the near future!

Ooh, I want to take a cat day, too. That sounds wonderful. Your cats are so beautiful ... and they look just like my cat! He would fit right in at your house.
