Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy and Twiggy in the Yard

~ John W. Howell

“What are you doing little one?”

“I thought this leaf was a caterpillar, but it’s not.”

“I can vouch for that. It’s not.”

“Why don’t we have any caterpillars?”

“For one it is the wrong time of year. We normally have them in late spring.”

“I just have my mind set on being able to play with a furry one.”

“I think you are just going to be forced to put your mind on something else.”

“Boy life is hard for us isn’t it?”

“Come on. You have everything you want. Think of those poor dogs who have nothing.”

“Yeah I should be a little more grateful I suppose.”

“Now you’re talking. Let’s do a game of tag. You’re it.”

“Wait I think I see a caterpillar.”

“I guess it wasn’t. Oh by the way the Boss is having more cataract surgery today.”

“Geeze. How many is that?” Excuse me gotta run.”

“It’s his other eye. The left one.”

“I can’t hear you.”

He’s going to take a blogging break until Sunday.”

“Okay. I know from the last eye everything goes well. Hey mom. Let us in.”

“Yes, it did go well.”

“I wonder if it is dinner time yet?”

“Not yet, Little one.”

“I guess we should give dad some lovin’ then.”

“I think he would like that.”

  17. I think you’ll be happy with the cataract surgery results. I sure am. Plus, you get to play pirate for a while, wearing the eye patch. 🙂 The girls will sure be happy if you get the rain they’re predicting for your area.

  21. Isn’t modern medicine wonderful? Hope all goes well, John, and that the recovery is smooth, too. Nice to have two cuddle-bugs to take a snooze with while you’re on your break!

  23. My congratulations, dear John! It looks like the Twiggy Resort’s support is the best in the world. Good luck with the second surgery. Thanks God, we, humans, have only two eyes. 🙂

    1. Thank you, Norman and Elsa. Tell your mom Dad tried to leave a comment on Friday’s post but got this message “Error: Please fill the required fields.” There were no fields to fill in. Anyway he loved the glads and photos and wants to thank you for the tour.

      1. Ironic you mentioned that problem. I’ve been receiving it from when I tried to leave comments on blogs I follow. Hmm, sounds like the WordPress goblins are running amuck. Sorry you encountered that. I’ll see if I can trace the problem and fix it. Thanks for letting me know. And thanks for your persistence. Hope you have a great weekend.

  34. I love…hey mom, let us in. They have this Little Rascals quality, just with tails. I also love your yard. The expanse of it, how it looks as if it goes on forever. So nice for them to have all that space for their ongoing research. I mean, catapillers are very special, and imagine if Twiggy and Lucy saw one turn into a butterfly. That would be big.

    1. They do have a lot of room. We fenced the whole thing so they could pretty much have the run of the place without worrying about their safety. Thank you, Susannah. They are like the Rascals someetimes. 😁

  38. LOL, playing with caterpillars. Hopefully she doesn’t run into the hookah-smoking one from “Alice.” 😀 Thanks for this reminder, John. I hope you’re already on the mend. No need to answer. You’re supposed to be on a break. Hugs on the wing.

      1. I love how colours became brighter, after the surgery. Totally improved my photo taking and drawing.
        I’ll bet Twiggy and Lucy look more clean and white than ever! X👀O

        2. Great! You won’t have to buy carpeting. I have cats, and I’m leading the style way with fur venetians. There is no fur venetian emoji, yet, so 🐩🪩💋
