Cat Lady Mimi is enjoying an afternoon with precious pets Griswold and Griselda, indulging in their favorite pastime together:
Birdwatching!
Laura puts what she calls "bird bait" in the feeders outside, and then once back inside, the three of them watch through the big picture window that looks out onto the back yard garden.
Today they saw goldfinches, purple finches, a red-winged blackbird, Stellers jays, chickadees, and a song sparrow! Griswold and Griselda get particularly quiet and twitchy when they spot their favorite, a rufous-sided towhee.
Laura has discovered a great new website from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology that is just packed with great information for the beginning birder and how to identify your newest feathered friends-- just click on the logo:

Cat Lady Louise and Feline Friend Ming Lee were in a dither earlier today. Mothers Day is just a few days away and Louise was at a loss as how to surprise her mom.
But then she got an email from the Nature Conservancy with a multitude of great ideas, including:
Plant trees in Brazil
Give organic flowers
Adopt the Appalachians
Give Carbon Offsets
All of these great ideas can be purchased in honor of your mom and includes the option to send an e-card. For more information visit this link:

It's true. Squishy Carson, the handsome gray tabby who is front and center in this family portrait, will tell you so. Two moms are better than one.
Squishy is a loveable "in-your-face" kind of cat and would not kid you. This huggable lug (you know, squishy) is thrilled to have not one, but two loving cat moms: Cat Lady Camilla and Cat Lady Shannon.
Xyla--the dainty ginger tabby who loves to drape herself around Camilla's shoulders--totally agrees.
It's Cat Lady and Daughter Danielle, however, who thinks she's the luckiest and sends this special message with love:
Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day!

Cat Lady Colette and feline friend Milla Vanilla are busy preparing paper cones to fill with posies from the garden. Later today, they will slip the cones into the front door handles of their neighbors' homes, ring the doorbell and then run and hide, all the while giggling and purring wildly.
It's a long-time tradition for Colette, going back to her childhood, when her grandmother taught her how to make the paper cones and shared with her the finer points of fast getaways from front porches...
Here are instructions for making a May Day Cone Basket: Cone Flower Basket
