A cat’s life on the Amalfi Coast

Last summer you all met Puffy, my sweet, silly orange cat that loves to come into the house and crash during the hot summer days. As the temps have been climbing, he’s found his new favorite spot sleeping in the window. After a long night doing whatever tomboy cats do, this is how you’ll find him most days:

Sometimes he has his mom, Patù, for company. Like mother like son, right?

Patù is a temperamental cat, but sometimes she likes cuddling with Puffy. Here they are trying to share the same little rug:

And here they are just a little while later after a big fight over who got rug rights:

And one time recently I walked by the cat bed to find Puffy passed out with his little pink tongue sticking out. Hilarious!!

    Love your cats! I had a brother and sister and they were always wonderful entertainment! Brother still survives and he now plays with "cousin" (a totally unrelated girl cat) for fun. I'll have to write more about them, it's been a while. Thanks for sharing your kitties!

What 31 days of January morning walks looks like. What 31 days of January morning walks looks like. It’s been gorgeous and windy and stormy and wild - and everything in between. Should I pick a different spot to take a photo a day next month?
Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!

This morning—after four days of rainy and cloudy mornings—I watched sunrise over the Cilento coastline across the Gulf of Salerno. Late morning it started raining again and it hasn’t stopped. This little pocket of beauty was exhilarating!
