If You Have a Cat

A L O H A From Honolulu!

'Reclining Godzilla'
Real knowledge is to know
the extent of one's ignorance. 
Confucius




There are voices which we hear
in solitude but they grow
faint and inaudible as
we enter into the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson


Do not get lost in a sea of despair.
Be hopeful, be optimistic.
Our struggle is not the struggle of
a day, a week, a month, or a year,
it is the struggle of a lifetime.
Never, ever be afraid to make
some noise and get in good trouble,
necessary trouble.
John Lewis




Your house will always be blessed
with love, laughter, and friendship
if you have a cat. Lewis Carroll

Beer Chandelier

The crystal kind? Forget that bore!
This chandelier's a sudsy roar.
No fragile bulbs, nor fancy frills,
Great amber hues and clinking trills.

The light it casts a rose gold gleam,
Reflects on faces, sets them a-beam.
Conversations effervescent as foam,
Witty beer patter finds a happy home.

So raise your drinks, let spirits soar,
Beneath this chandelier evermore!
A testament to hops and cheer,
The smartest, booziest Bar light.
Have a beer!

A house without a cat is not a home in my eyes.

Cloudia said...

Something else we agree on! Have a beautiful week my friend. Aloha

A very strange cloud formation in the first photo.

Lets keep it on the quote of Lewis Carroll.

Tom said...

...I live nicely without a pet.

Anvilcloud said...

I am not sure that our cat does that for us, but she is ours and we are hers.

Hello,
I always love your sky images, I am sure I have said that before, lol.
Your Pixie is a sweet cat, my pets have always been dogs.
Take care, have a wonderful week!

Amazing photography, Beautiful words.
Hellooo to Pixie.
Have a nice week ahead.

Barbara Rogers said...

Carroll's quote is good, though no longer having a cat, I have not given up on those virtues!

magiceye said...

Cheers to the beer bottles chandelier! Aloha 🙏

RedPat said...

Such clouds, Cloudia. ;-)

Kathy G said...

I completely agree with the cat quote. After our beloved crossed the Rainbow Bridge we said we wouldn't get another one. Three months later we caved.

Martha Jane Orlando said...

We sure do miss our kitties, but simply can't go through the heartbreak of losing more. We do have some grand-kittens we are looking forward to meeting, though.
Blessings, Cloudia!

Cool pictures. I like the one of all those beach lounge chairs. Does Pixie like to lie under the beer chandelier waiting to lick up the drips?

Bill said...

I'll have a light beer to celebrate creativity.

Sandee said...

I love them all, but the quote about the cat is spot on. Pixie is a delight and beautiful.

Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week, Cloudia. Scritches to Pixie. ♥

Always a great narrative, and the most beautiful photos. Thank you Cloudia. John Lewis was an amazing individual. His quote was a powerful one.

Pixie looks at ease.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Bth of my cats bring me all these qualities. They show how much they love me in small ways, like when they sit next to me when I don't feel well and sit on my lap when I do.

That is one unique light. It's certainly perfect for T Tuesday, dear Cloudia.

My name is Erika. said...

It's too bad more people don't try to figure out what they are ignorant of. Those are also great cloud in the first photo. Happy T day to you and Pixie.

Mae Travels said...

Another highly creative chandelier — what ISN”T used to create light fixtures?

Happy T Tuesday wishes! Hugs, Jo x

Iris Flavia said...

Nice quotes again, and WOW on the Beer Chandelier!

CJ Kennedy said...

The Lewis Carroll quote is purrfect just like Pixie. Happy T Day

Rambling Woods said...

We need to remember this...."Real knowledge is to know
the extent of one's ignorance.
Confucius"

Lisca said...

Great quotes as always. And Pixie is cute as ever.
Love the chandelier!!
Sorry I'm late. I have visitors and hardly a moment to myself.
Have a great weekend,
Lisca
