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.

Spring - Pretty Please?


Hi, furry folks!

I'm glad we have four seasons. This way, we don't get bored with Mother Nature and she doesn't get bored with us. The only thing is, when we get anxious for the next season to arrive, it seems to take forever to get here, especially if that season is spring.

But, we're going to make every effort, pull out all the stops to make sure Mother Nature knows we're waiting *tapping paw* so spring arrives as soon as possible.

Here's our first effort:


It's green! I don't think it's a coincidence that this is March's color. St. Paddy's Day, shamrocks and all those things that encourage spring to make her appearance!

I found this in my photo box over the weekend.  It really got me thinking of warmer weather. An old pic of Mama Fishworthy (don't I look a lot like her?) in her Easter bonnet! I know it's only six days into Lent, but why not? If it helps spring along, then let's give it a go!



Haha!! Check out the the framed pic of moi she has stuck to it!!

Let's all think spring and those of you who are facing a different season, wish us well in our endeavors to see grass again, flowers bloom and green beer!!

Tom

We like spring, too, Tom, but for us it's just the six minute prelude to a 900-week summer!

We do see the resemblance, Tom. We can’t wait for spring to get here too.

That is a very fetching bonnet :)
Paws crossed you get an early spring!

Wow, there is a strong family resemblance, for sure, Tom!

Awww, what a pretty picture of Mama. Spring is here (California). We could have used more rain, but we're glad for the warmer temperatures.

Welcoming March whole heartedly. Let this be a season of change in climate, attitude, life and misery. We must be grateful for the four wonderful season God has created for us and the kind of changes it brings to our life. Let us cat lovers get more and more opportunities to click such wonderful pictures.
