The progression
As SeaQueen predicted yesterday, the sun did indeed come out today!
Hooray!
Here is the Saturday morning progression – in the words of the Girlie-girl.
“All of the elements are in place for a nice sunny morning. Danielle has her tea and laptop, HB has his tea and laptop, and I have my sunbeam.”
“hmmmmm… the sun looks pretty good up on the bay windowsill. Maybe I’ll go up there.”
“Oh, but I’d better pause and take a moment to clean my face. I just get sooooo dirty. It is hard to keep the white parts white, you know.”
“All clean, now I can go up there.”
“Boy this sun feels good. It hasn’t been sunny all week. I thought it was never going to stop raining!”
“dang, something doesn’t feel quite right. I obviously missed a spot on my face. Better get it off. ”
“Huh, now I’d better rotate and get some sun on my back too. Gotta get equal coverage, you know.”
“Wait! What is that!”
“huh. Well, it is gone now.”
“Guess I’ll just take a little nap.”
“mmmmm…. life is good.”
“NOW if Danie would just QUIT taking pictures of me and keeping me awake, I could enjoy my sunbeam in peace.”
“Geeesh. It is rough, being the Girlie, you know.”
- the end -
Note: the happy tail.

Good story, Danielle.
I like “It’s hard to keep the white parts white.”
Glad you got some sun! Indiana weather has ben great.
Squirl says:
That was wonderful running commentary. I can’t have a cat, but I can now live the pet life vicariously.
SeaQueen says:
Girlie Girl does things with such grace. Panda just does not have that, despite looking like she’d be graceful. My favorite Panda thing I’ve noticed since I’ve been studying at the house is that in the afternoon the sun moves accross this couch that I’ve left a fleece blanket on (Panda LOVES fleece) and she shuffles along the blanket/couch with the sunbeam as it passes.
Ern says:
It’s a cat’s life, huh? I love how they always have the ability to find the sunbeam, even if it is just peeking in through a tiny gap in the shades. It doesn’t matter if it is 100 degrees out, they are still in the sunshine!

Cute story!

You know how I love your photo essays.
Tell Girlie-girl this one was fab-u-lous.
And tell her some Oxy-Clean oughta help keep the white parts white.
