Flowers and resting up for the week-end Friday

Caesar:
Here are some olde tired zinnias from our garden. They look kind of cool all brown like this.
They are ready for Autumn too. Hopefully these zinnia's will plop their seedheads into the ground and the new flowers come back next year. Sometimes that happens.


. . . the flowers on the side of the house:

Look at those nasturtium seeds mommie collects every year

Mom likes to pull these seeds off and dry them on a big plate in the morning room.
Then she gives the seeds away to friends. haha last year she gave a little bag of dried seeds to her sister, Joyce. Mommie was sure that Joyce knew that they were seeds.
Later Joyce called her and asked her what sort of nuts they were. hahaha
Mommie told her do not eat them! plant them. hahahaha meeeaow


What a week.
Yes, I am playing the stubborn game. When I see mommie come with my baby foods dish and the flooids bag, I go away. Then sometimes I try to wiggle away while mommie is fooling with the needle. She does not get angry with me.... but she thinks I am being silly and naughty.
Granted, mommie is an old nurse, and she always gets her way and she makes it look like I let her.
She is tricky.


I am going to rest up today so I can be perky this week-end!

Mommie and dad are driving up to the kollig to see Blizzie play the piano with her Jazz group on Saturday!
Sunday, mommie has to play hand bells will her choir in church. AND lastly, mom has beaucoup de homework. I have to help mom conjugate french verbs this week-end... oh goodie.

We hope you have the very best week-end.
Thank you so much for your lovley comments yesterday.
Be Happy!


Happiness is like a butterfly
which, when pursued,
is always beyond our grasp,
but, if you will sit down quietly,
may alight upon you.

Those are lovely flowers! :) Caesar, you are certainly very silly and naughty, but I'm glad you get your fluids in the end. Good luck to Blizzie and your mom with their performances. Have fun helping your mom with her French homework.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. :)

LZ said...

Busy weekend! What verbs does she have to do? The LL loves doing the verbie things.
Je suis, Tu es, il/elle/on est, nous sommes, vous etes, ils/elles sont.

At least she thinks that is still right.

Ramses said...

Your flowers are very pretty! :)

What pretty flowers! Most of ours did not do very well because it has been very dry here. The mums are still hanging in because mom waters them.

Why do you has to take fluid shots?

Parker said...

Caesar - get some rest and be a good boy with those fluids!
I hope your weekend is full of love!

The Meezers or Billy said...

those is purrty flowers. mommy growed those nasty-urchins once and they invaded her entire garden like the morning glories that she now hates because she hasn't planted them in 5 years and they're STILL sprouting up.

Caeser, be a good boy with your flooids!!!

we loves you all!

Daisy said...

Those flowers on the side of your house are pretty! They seem so bright and cheerful. I think flowers are happy.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Boy said...

beautiful fwowers! have a nice weekend too!

DK & The Fluffies said...

We are lucky to have nasturtiums bloom all year long. Those silly buns like to eat the flowers.

Karen Jo said...

Your flowers are still beautiful, especially the ones at the side of the house. My Mom goes around collecting marigold seeds, but she usually doesn't need them because the marigolds are very good about planting themselves.

Mr. Hendrix said...

What pretty flowers and a wonderful quote today! Don't worry when you don't leave comments, we know you still visit. Mommy can't always leave comments either (sometimes she visits at work), but we always visit.
I love your Halloween costumes. Princess, you are such a pretty Woodland Princess and Caesar, I jumped out of my furs at your ghost costume before I realized it was you. Your Caesar the Friendly Ghost!

Chrissie said...

Beautiful flowers, Princess. My mom likes the nasturtiums in salad, for their peppery taste. She's always wanted to grow some, but maybe next year. Sounds like a few busy days for you, what with helping with homework. Get lots of rest when you can, and do take your fluids, so you'll be healthy and full of energy!

Jimmy Joe said...

You guys sure do have a pretty garden. My momma tries, but--just between us--I don't think she has a green thumb. It's always looked pink to me. I hope you have a nice snoozy weekend with dreams about flowers!
Your buddy, Jimmy Joe

Hia Caesar! Being stubborn, boy? Haha, I love that game too.

We also have brown flowers in our garden. The staff..., no only Marlene likes them because she calls it 'the beauty of an autumn garden'.

Ik wens jullie, ook namens ons personeel, een heel gezellig weekend!!

Queen Snickers, Empress and Princess Renna said...

Quelles belles fleurs! I hope you both have fun and lively weekends!

Shaggy and Scout said...

Your auntie Joyce sounds like our mom. Not exactly a green thumb when it comes to growing things. Keep on being good boys with the fluids. That was funny what you said about looking like camels!!!
We loved your princess and ghost pictures too!!!

Mr. Chen and Ollie said...

Those sure are some lovely nasturtiums! You can eat those flowers, Caesar! It's funny that your auntie wanted to eat the seeds :-)
We hope you have a super fun weekend, too! Have fun with those verbs!
Purrs,
Mr. Chen & Ollie

You look very comfy in that picture.

Mickey's Musings said...

It's a good idea to rest up for the weekend, or anytime for that matter. I was reading your Thursday post and feel much the same way.There are so many nice kitties it is hard to visit and comment on all of them. Then if Mom is busy,I don't get to all my friends.
I am 14 years old, and am slowing a bit.I do like your blog because it is interesting. I like seeing pics of the 2 of you and your Mom's garden. Every cat has a neat blog and it is so fun to see what different cats get up to.


Pee Ess: I like your Halloween costumes ;)

MomBean says you can eat the nasturtium flowers ... she loves them; they look so cheerful!

All mommie's are tricky, I think!

Gattina said...

How nice that you are interested in these beautiful flowers ! Arthur only likes to dig them out !

Sasha said...

Hello Caesar, we have lots of nasturtiums too. Lynettea just lets their seeds gather and they spring up the following year. They grow along our fence in goodness knows what cracks in the cement. I am glad cats don't eat them, as Lynettea tells me humans can eat the leavs but they are quite peppery. Cats don't like pepper.

Luna und Luzie said...

Belle fleurs a le jardin .
Do you know that you can eat the flowers of the nasturtium in a salad? Yes sure one can eat it and it is delicious, really!!!But not the dried seeds.
Our mom has to do beaucoup de homeworks, too.
Please take your fluids to get well.
Have a nice sunday !

The Furry Fighter said...

i hope your mum has fun with those verbs!
my mum has mental block when it comes to french and german verbs...she can only just about handle english ones!! ;)

Christine and FAZ said...

The girl human said to tell you that Nasturtium seeds are delicious pickled too, like gerkins and capers. You should try it, the girl human loves them. She also loves the flowers in salads in summer, they are sweet and add colour

I like eating the leaves than spitting them out.

I also like nasturtium seeds very much~! But in my house is not convenient to have any plant~! So, Michico just can watch friends'.

It is very very very beautiful pictures, and we love it so so much.

I am so glad to know that you were playing the stubborn game. So happy, you make us smile all the way, and feel so comfy too to see your sleeping pose~! That is the greatest joy~!

Happy Great new week~!
