Cats Are Like Potato Chips

You Can't Have Just One

“Cats are like potato chips; you can’t have just one.” This is the saying from a plaque my niece gave me for Christmas. It is so fitting. 

Anyone who shares their life with a cat will understand. Like potato chips, no two cats are alike. Each one has a distinct purrsonality. Each one brings their own special magic into your life. 

It is a very grey and dismal Monday which has been the pattern for a few weeks now and it is getting tiresome. The cure for the Monday blues - purrs. Purrs are the cure for many ailments. The question of why cats purr is still unanswered and many theories exist. I propose my own answer; a cat purrs to bring peace, contentment and calmness to its surroundings. There is magic in a purr. 

Wishing your world be touched by magic. Enjoy a “purr”fect day!

First Snow of the Season

Tuesday, 11/12/13

It seems a bit serendipitous that the first flakes to fall are on a "1, 2, 3" date...

...and leaves still cling to the trees. The contrast of color seems magical, unlike a true winters snow that leaves shades of gray everywhere.

This dusting is brief, fleeting. By dusk it will be but a memory. Just enough to remind us once again it's time to change; change into a new season. The beginning of winter in New York is shepherded in by a colorful snow fall! Let the magic begin!
