Patchouli loves this time of year. My husband spends most Saturdays and Sundays out working in the yard and I do gardening every weekday morning. I hate the heat and I have a sun sensitivity so I'm pretty much done gardening by 9 a.m. Patchouli knows that we will protect her from the other cats that bully her, so she stays close, but enjoys her time outside so much!
Every morning, she is waiting for me to put on my garden gloves and clogs and head outside. With her dark hair, she doesn't like the heat much either so these early cool mornings are perfect for us!
Not much else to say! Just a few photos of Patchouli. I've been busy working on a capsule wardrobe for my fashion posts on Grey is the New Black, so that's kind of taking up some of my time.
For her artsy photo, I again used the Topaz Labs plugin, went for bright and colorful this time!

She is such a beatiful cat! I can tell she's very content. ๐
I totally get the heat issue. I left the house one day last week to take my son to football...it wasn't even 8:00am yet. It felt like it was already 80! I live in Tennessee so it gets really hot here. I've lived here for almost 26 years and I'm still not used to the heat. Living here has made me hate summer.
That art shot is gorgeous!

What a beautiful cat. it's too hot here for even Rusty to want to stick his nose out the door and he loves to nap in the dog pen, even though he's a cat.

Someone is having a great time. Enjoy the summer weather!
Robin says
Patchouli is such a beautiful girl! I love the pattern of the black and white sections of her fur. It is so nice of her to stop by and let you take a few photos. She must have known that it was about time for another Patchouli blog post. ๐ She's a star!
Karren Haller says

Yin likes to stick close to me when we are outside. The rest are wild things who like to escape from the back yard. ~Alasandra
Ann says
Like Patchouli, we are chilling in the front yard . . . but that's because it's winter! **chuckle**
Yael says
Oh Patchouli,
You look just lovely in the garden. You must be a big help to mommy in the garden.

Kitties Blue says
Patchouli is stunning, and the art is gorgeous. Though three of the gang do go outside, they don't really hang around me if I am gardening. I miss Fiona, as that was the only time she got to go out, and she always loved it and was good about sticking close to me. Thanks for hopping with us.
Erin the Cat (Princess) says
It's always such a delight to see Patchouli, and she takes a wonderful selfie. And her colours stand out so well with that plug-in, too.
Purrs, Erin

Pawsome pictures, Patchouli. You are so photogenic. Enjoy the outside! Pawkisses for a wonderful Caturday ๐ <3
Sweet Purrfections says
Mom Paula doesn't let us go outside, but that sure looks comfortable. We really like your artwork today.
Tina Culbertson says
Your kitties are so pretty and photogenic. I agree about the heat, I can't stand it and I live in Florida. With Patchouli's dark fur she would overheat for sure. Love the artsy photo.
