An 'up-lifting' tail

This bright and sunny morning found Audrey perched on the cat stand eyeing dear little Red as he rejoiced in being the first to the side bird feeder. He filled his gut while Audrey made funny noises and twitched her ears. There won't be any tail-twitching for some time to come but I noticed this morning that it is being held higher off the ground. A very good sign. I'm to be watching for that. She still walks slowly with a slight limp but seems to have forgotten all about her mishap already.
Annie tried to play with her last night. I intervened quickly and Annie walked off a little confused. This might be the biggest struggle of all while this leg and tail heal completely.

Annie starts her morning off joining me for coffee. I like a hot cup with milk and she prefers just a wee bit of milk in her tea-pot saucer. She will sit and stare at it until the white delicacy is poured for her to enjoy.
She then sat at the window while the feeders filled up with finches of many colours.

Here is another shot of the downy woodpecker as he hung around me while I filled shelves in the portable greenhouse yesterday. They are normally shy but this one came surprisingly close and stayed.

I bet 'baby' downy woodpeckers would be so cute.

Have you been over to Mary's garden today.http://abreathoffreshair-mary.blogspot.ca/

Wait 'til you see her little bird-house that is 'occupied' with mommy and daddy Carolina Chickadees.

Mary expects to see baby chickadees in the near future.

I have a feeling you'll want to spend some time at Mary's so pour yourself a cup of something. :)

Since I'm house-bound a little more these days watching over the she-devil...ummm....Audrey, I have been looking back on older cat-sitting photos in my library. I have so many cute cat shots and thought I may share a few in the next few days.

My cat-sitting service in this area is taking off very slowly as most people call for a live-in sitter.

It's funny how different areas require specific services.

But first, here's a favorite photo of my grand-kitty, Rae-Rae and her love of violets. 

We have a similar passion for the beautiful bloom.

She has the patience, though, to watch them grow.

Time to check on a certain invalid.
Hope your day is filled with sun-shine,
