…is so, gosh darn beautiful

the other night there was a huge harvest moon in the sky. I ran home as fast as my legs could take me (while carrying a big chalkboard that was up for grabs from the office – SWEET!) with hopes of getting to the roof to take photos.

Of course, I missed it at it’s peak, when it was right above the street. It looked like a huge orange ball in the sky and across the way was it’s sister sun saying goodnight. Since they were almost on the same plane, it was as if they were two guards passing one another between shifts of protecting the sky. I’m sure it would have been breathtaking from an aerial view.

Since I can’t fly (although, that would be an awesome super power), I got as close as I could. The roof.

You might get attacked with baby powder by a curious roommate – just wondering what it would look like if you were gray…

…and it will definitely be a powdery mess.

A kitty will surely want to say hello…

…only so she can be lifted into the air to do some acrobatics.

while other kitties will want to sleep on hard surfaces.

And if you’re lucky, you might stumble upon a package like this on your way home…

Many times they hid the scissors with their furry tails making me feel as if I lost my mind because “dammit! I just had them!”

Caesar (the black kitty) loves sitting on lumps. He never likes to sit on soft things, he prefers piles of books; shoes or anything that looks like it would be uncomfortable. His sister just likes to get into everything and runs around like a mini tornado. 

Aren’t they adorable?

The new project is something in the works, more to come.

oh and he also likes to wear shoes. ;)

These old bottles were part of our finds from Dead Horse Bay this spring. It was nice coming home to a new light display!

I love living with my ridiculously funny, creative, and awesome BFF!

The craziest thing about the roof is that you can venture across the roofs of all the apartment buildings on the block.

our backyard used to have a pool, now it’s just a sandpit for us to throw our cherry seeds from the kitchen window.

storm clouds rolling in…

My landlord’s name is Frank. His son, Frankie Jr. lived below us for awhile, and now his son’s friend, Frank lives there.

Maybe I should have named my cat Frank.

Hayden decided it would be fun to have a photo shoot with the scraps.

Perhaps I will wear this to the beach this weekend!

We even got the kitty involved. :)

Have a great weekend!

this little fur ball is the newest addition to the list of the cats of my life and my awesome new apartment in brooklyn. i moved out of my shoebox apartment earlier this year and now have an amazingly HUGE room in williamsburg which allows me to do wonderful things like paint, play piano, and dance around.

it’s lovely.

isn’t he darling?

he loves his cousin and sister cats:

  • lavi
  • winston
  • lola
  • sheamus
  • henry
  • hades
  • sweetie
  • and all the other cats of the world! :)

the weekend is almost here, perhaps i will work on the cats of my life painting!

i found him hiding in my paint brushes…

perhaps he’ll be part of my next painting!

**

It has been a hectic couple of weeks – hence my lack of postings – but things have been very good.

I finally had a moment to catch up on some readings and take some silly photos for MCP Project 52.

sweet dreams.. i’ll be dreaming up a land for this little llama…
