Notes from a parish cat and his author Julie Mackenzie

My photo
I am Father Tom Fish, esteemed member of the religious team at Temptation of Christ Parish in the novels by author Julie Mackenzie. As to my background, I was invited into the rectory as a stray, laid on the charm, and was invited to stay, even honorarily ordained and no less spiritual than my sidekick Father Will. He dotes on me to high heaven and forgives all of my street cat proclivities, whatever the hell that means.

Let's Leave the Leaves for Just a Minute!

Where are you??? Oh, wait...under all the leaves! I stopped counting after seventy-five zillion two hundred billion elebenty-one trillion. It pooped me out!

I found myself thinking of summer and what a good one it was for window whiffies and sunshine and little bugs that came to say hello, knowing I'm just an old softie, not about to bother them. They know it, too! Even at night when the moths come around, I just watch and wonder why the light draws them so, but then, maybe it's like us with the sun. Good thing we can't get too close!

Anyway, back to summer and those good memories! This was a particularly fine day. There was just the right amount of breeze, my furs warmed up real nice and a ladybug was telling me all about her grandbugs..okay, maybe not..


Do you have good memories of a sunny summertime?

Furry happy,
Tom

Those were the days-the lazy crazy days of summer! How quickly it seems to have disappeared--quicker in some places than in others, we reckon. We are still lounging on the windowsills when the sun is out, but no longer are the windows open. . . .

To be honest, Tom, we much prefer any other season! It gets way too hot here.

I thought summer was too hot and humid. I prefer this fall weather.

We miss summer, too, Tom. Though Gracie and Ava are getting more snuggles with the arrival of the cooler temps.:)

My summer was enjoyable. A few heat waves, many beautiful days, and lots of love.

We love that window pose. Yeah, summer's passing here too, but I'm staying plenty warm with mom and dad's laps and the fleece they keep on the chair. Have an awesome weekend!
