Saturday Reviewed

Saturday morning the cats bask in the morning sun...

...while keeping an eye on this young Buck. 
Tom-Cat growls at deer - he must think he is a Cougar sometimes.

Here's a picture of irony.  We groomed the cats and set out the fur on our hammock.  The swallows and goldfinches were thrilled with the find, and were busy using it to construct their nests.  I tossed small bits of fur up into the air, and the swallows dove to grab them in mid-flight!

On Saturday I took a walk (just over a mile) to our local Community Growers' Market.

Though small, it was well attended.  Several people were buying and / or eating lunch.

This display was from Fox Hollow Farm and Fiber.

The wool is spun from Alpacas.

Is there anything prettier than fresh hens' eggs?

It's good to see three cats together in one photo. Your comment about the birds taking the fur made me smile.

Your story about the cat hair is definitely ironic and amusing. Love the cats lying in the sun, the beautiful yarns and the simple beauty of the eggs. Another great start to the day...even if I am a day behind!
