Hi. I’m Matao.
This was a great week! The weather has been nice and sunny and the Mother of Cats has been sitting out on her deck listening to her audiobook while she knits. Hannah and I have been watching all the stuff in the yard through the windows.
Happy Caturday, everyone!
Notes from the Mother of Cats:
I’ve been reading the best book ever while knitting outside and watching the wildlife in the back yard. One of the main characters is an octopus, and I just fell in love with him right away. I seriously, seriously recommend this book!
Years ago, another biology teacher told me about an octopus that would break out of his tank to go snack on crayfish from another tank in the lab. Yep. They gave been known to do this. Very smart, able to squish through very small openings, octopuses are kind of the stuff of legend. In this book, the octopus is also a wanderer with an incredible memory who becomes a pivotal character in the lives of the people who know him. I wanted the book to go on and now I am on the hunt for another easy to listen to books to keep me company while knitting outside with the wildlife.
Yarn, Books & Roses 
Hello MoC !! – I too adore octopi. Even octopuses ! Also your helpers, who are both amazingly good-looking.
(But I do have a particular leaning towards Hannah, as it was she who first caticised your life.)
To have a squirrel out the front and a bunny out the back seems almost too much ! – but I jest, I assure you: one couldn’t POSSIBLY have too much adorable wildlife !!!
I certainly have the adorable wildlife!! The cats are so happy with all the action in the backyard to watch.
Mateo – you are such a handsome boy! So glad you and Hannah have interesting things to watch and do 🙂
MOC – glad you have good weather and love seeing your yarn creatures 🙂 That sounds like a really interesting book!
Hannah: don’t spoil him with compliments! I barely have him under control as it is…
The good weather continues! I am really liking the book but it is one that you need to pay attention to while reading.
