Bull thistle - usual purple and rare white flowers


Rain all day.  I finished the book I'd been reading.  By three o'clock,  the dog and I were restless.  We jumped into the car and drove to the nearest McDonald's for a latte.  It would be both a pick-me-up and warmer-upper.  Got home and started doing some housework.  Well, tried to.  The kittens woke up when we got home and wanted some diversion.  If I picked up anything one or the other cat was leaping to try and grab hold of it.  Dunder pulled down a jacket I had hanging from a peg in the foyer and pulled the cushion out of one shoe.  Blitzen pulled down the dish towel that I hang from the stove's handle.  It became almost a game.  I'd replace the towel and she'd pull it back down again. I tried to put a new runner under the TV in the living room but both cats insisted on "helping" me do it. Anything placed on a flat surface seemed to be an anathema to them and it had to be pushed off and onto the floor. I finally resigned myself to the idea that I'd need to wait until the kittens fell asleep again.  I sat down in a chair, sipped my latte, and watched 'Murder in Paradise'.  The cats busied themselves w/ their toys.  By the end of the show I had finished my coffee and both cats were asleep in my lap.  I carefully moved them and got up. Thank goodness for naps.
