    Friday Morning with Patchouli

    So Many Blog Posts Not Enough Names

    I'm back with Patchouli this week.  The photos aren't all that great, but Patchouli pointed out that Luxie has been on for the past three Saturdays!

    The problem is that I am running out of blog post names!  I already have used: 

    • Gardening with Patchouli
    • Weeding with Patchouli
    • Patchouli Outside
    • Patchouli Kitty Outside
    • Patchouli Kitty in the Garden
    • Birdwatching with Patchouli
    • A Little Garden Time with Patchouli
    • Tuxedo Cat Patchouli
    • Patchouli Just Sitting

    and so many more!  Seriously, I have the same problem with Luxie posts!  There are only so many ways I can title a post of Luxie looking out the window!

    So, how do you cat blogging people come up with names?  I only post cat photos once a week and I am having this trouble, I don't know how you all do it, those that post kitty cats (or any pets, really) more often than that! 

    Patchouli and are on the same wave length when it comes to spending time outdoors in the summer.  It either occurs before 9 am or it doesn't occur.  Sometimes we'll venture back out in the late afternoon when the sun goes behind some trees, but more often than not, we are done for the day.

    If she didn't enjoy birdwatching and nibbling on grass, she'd probably never venture out!  I've been reading more and more about how being in nature helps you in so many ways, so I've started adding a little mid day break where I sit on the back porch and just enjoy a quiet time.  No  phone.  No book.  It's been nice. 

    For my artsy photo this week, I again used Topaz Labs:

      Patchouli is a pretty girl kitty. I'm glad she got to be featured this week. Fair is fair.

      I don't worry about blog post names since I do the same memes each week. I can see where it would be a problem though.

      Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.

      Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. ♥

      Well, we rarely post a cat post, and stick to dog posts five times a week. We dogs are always up to something new and exciting, so it is easier to find titles. Kitty is super pretty, but we love the look of Luxie.

      I've heard of pretty garden fairies, but I bet they're not as pretty as Patchouli. Mom likes to spend time in her garden, too, to see how much the flowers have grown from one day to the next, to relax, and to listen and watch the birdies and bees. She'll sometimes take me out in my purrivate carriage. Purr purr purr.

      Patchouli said, "It's my turn this week." Sweetie. 🙂

      I feel your pain. Each month when I do Authors and Cats is a long drawn out process because I have to look up authors with birthdays that month and then try to search those authors to see if they had pictures taken with cats. I'm sure I will run out some day. 🙁 Same with Cats in Art...searching for paintings, and trying not to duplicate what I've already posted about. On the other two weeks of the month, it's a little easier, but I still struggle with coming up with themes.

      You did make me laugh! Finding a good title can be tough, you have to get really inventive!

      Beautiful photos!

      We love going out in the catio in the early morning when it's cooler. In the afternoon we'd rather stay indoors and nap when it's too hot.

        It seems that a lot of people (and kitties) like to stay in when it's hot!

      Patchouli is stunning at in her photos and never disappoints, and yet the artwork takes her to a whole new level. Such a delight. Time with nature is never wasted, and should never be regretted, and is a great balancer. I think it should be mandatory for everyone to have nature time at work, too.
      Have a wonderful week.

        Wouldn't it be great if everyone could build nature time into their everyday lives?

      Patchouli looks lovely as do all your cats. I dislike spending too much time indoors, but dislike the heat more.

      I'm with you, Patchouli. When it's very hot outside I'd rather stay inside too.

      Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.

      Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. My best to your mom. ♥

        I think there are a lot of us that stay inside in this heat!
