Inspirations on the Longest Day

Bloggie friends!

I always say that one of the best writerly inspirations a writer may have is a furry friend.

Charlie teaches me to be optimistic and to seek opportunities in the here and now while simultaneously giving me frequent heart failures.

Here he is staring up at the bird feeder. What you can’t hear are my screams in the background for him to leave the birds alone.


Charlie says: Ooops there goes my snack.



Happy Summer Solstice everyone! Today is the longest day of the year - “when the sun is at its maximum elevation”. (source).

So while I’m all for the sun being around for today for as long as possible, let’s hope the 9-5 work hours don’t drag longer than they should! Ahem!

Missed Opportunities

I did have this gorgeous moment when Charlie was sitting right next to the strawberry pot plant looking as if he was about to munch on the fruit.

Unfortunately the batteries in my camera were flat.

So by the time I recharged them, the strawberries were still there…

… but Charlie had gone off to be adopted next door!

I could equate this little episode with how it's useful to always be prepared for the unexpected in case a once in a lifetime opportunity arises - but heck it's Monday and the Summer Solstice is upon us.

Have Druid filled Monday everyone!
