CENTRAL COAST CALIFORNIA - FRONT PORCH, MORRO BAY NURSERY ART GARDEN AND SAN SIMEON HORSES

On a beautiful foggy morning in the mountains I decided to revisit some photos from some of my favorite places.  We might get a little rain today and all nature is loving it up here.

1.  A few houses down from my sister's place is this house and I love the entry.

I love to visit Morro Bay and take a tour of their garden nursery art gallery.

We visited San Simeon during a trip over the last few years and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and I enjoyed seeing this horse.   San Simeon is where Hearst Castle is (in case anyone not know that).

Feral momma cat has been acting different - ever since the huge storm we have - thunder, lightning heavy downpours I haven't seen her kittens.  She comes now to the back door quite often and meows for her food.  I feed her and she sleeps a lot in the chair that I can see from the window.  She's still skittish but not nearly so as she was.  I've seen a different look on her lately.  Maybe it's me - but I see loss and a little depression.  I talk to her often through the door and ask her where her babies are.  I don't understand why they have disappeared - it seems that something must have happened to them.

I'm hoping they show up today, I'd rather see her annoyed face than what looks to me like a sad face.

ADDENDUM:  And after writing all of that above about how Mama misses her kittens and looks depressed - oh well - I think I was projecting my feelings on to her. (After all sometimes I miss my boys who I think are more like big lumbering dogs).   She brought her babies back to eat today.  So thank God they survived.  I was worried about them.  They are even a little bigger than last time and more playful.  They have been playing around on the deck this morning.  All of them had big appetites and mama came up to the door two times after the first round of food, looking in the screen and asking for more.   She now waits while I open the door and only steps away about five feet now and as soon as I walk back in, she is eating the food.

I love u mama kitty - but  you could smile once in awhile.
