i came upstairs to make the bed this morning and this is what i found...
whiskey sour and dande rose marie bagged out on the bed....look at that face...that is whiskey.
little tiny dande....she is as light as a feather...
since i am upstairs in the bedroom i thought i would show you around...that little wood burning stove is my squirrel stove...there are squirrels on the sides..the little black lady's rocking chair came from camden, maine.
the little necklace was made for me by a very special little girl...
outside one of my windows...the houses behind me on church street...and the brown california mountains...the blue morning glory is growing in all the trees in the back... even though it is july here...as i write i am wearing a ski coat...i don't know why...but on the coast of california it is COLD. woke to 55 degrees this morning...with a high of 65. what ? california? in july ? really ?

ReplyDelete((hugs))
look at you with the open bedroom windows. dang! i love the photo of the kitties in bed! and the stove is too cute. i should post a photo of my air conditioner. i am madly in love with it right now!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! You must be freezing!! I'll trade you our hot and humid 90 degrees here in NY for your 65 in CA!!! My husband lived in San Diego for several years and he always talks about how beautiful the weather is there all year 'round. Your kitties and squirrel stove are lovely!! :)

Aww, how sweet! Did you disturb them or leave them in bed? LOL!!! I would have! How nice to have a wood stove near by! I can't believe how chilly it is in CA! Yikes! What gives?
ReplyDeleteNothing as cozy as seeing a cat curled up or totally relaxed on a bed, is there!
ReplyDeleteLove the necklace, the squirrel stove and the chair... thank you for the little tour!
to answer ocean breezes...i never disturb them...they can stay as long as they want...i just went back downstairs...they didn't get up till 5 ! :-)
ReplyDeleteoh my. best be quiet about your cooler temps while the rest of the nation swelters! :)
ReplyDeletecute kittens...
...That is too cute! We have two kitties that make themselves at home on our bed sometimes before I get a chance to make it and I go ahead and make the bed anyway. It's kind of our play time when I do, as at first they shoot me 'that' look wondering why I am disturbing their peaceful sleep but shortly thereafter then it turns to play! lol... :o)
ReplyDelete...We were having 115 degree days but today it is a beautiful 82 degrees which I am loving.
...Blessings :o)
55 sure sounds good to me since we are usually 60 degrees above that. :/ Your cats are adorable ... love their names! Hope you are having a great day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteTHats crazy! Its 105 here in Sc. We had a very humid day yesterday! Your kitties are so cute and cuddly! I love ur house! I told my husband that I want an older house then a brand new one!
ReplyDeleteOh Kary, I really miss the times when Kiki and Boston slept with us in bed. Your kitties look so happy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Summer,
Dawn
How indulged are your cats Kary? They look so comfortable. Thrilled to see the beautiful and rampant Morning Glory - so much more exotic and exciting than our pale Bindweed. x
ReplyDeleteOh, how funny are the cats.
ReplyDeleteI'll take your temps any day! We have had temps in the high 90's up until today. A severe storm came through last night and brought some lower temps for one day. They are saying we may have a heat wave next week. YUCK!
Have a good one.

Well, I don't blame those cats, with 55 degrees in July.
ReplyDeleteOH BOY...EVERY MORNING i HAVE TO CONTEND WITH 3 CATS ON THE BED...NOT WANTING TO MOVE
ReplyDeleteTHEY WIN.....
LOVE THOSE MORNING GLORIES AND YOUR STOVE...
COLD? WOW....
Wow. What's up with that weather? Pretty, though.

Those two kitties sure look comfortable and that is one fine necklace.
ReplyDeleteOMgoodness how darling is this picture. I had to call my daughter over from her comfy position on the couch to come look. lol
ReplyDeletethey are just the cutest!
Love love everything about your home. I have to say I am in awe of your weather....over a 100 every day here and only now is it bearable to be outside.
So happy you love my little kitchen...it is one of my big challenges moving out here to the country. I was use to a wonderful big kitchen with lots of cabinets and draws and now I have none. hahaha
Have a wonderful week
Love ya
Maggie
PS

I am in love with the squirrel stove! I hope you didn't make the cats get out of the bed :)
ReplyDeleteThose kitties are so cute. I love that wood stove. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteKary your cats are beautiful! Are they ragdolls? wow, i sure wish we had your weather here in the south, we are broiling!! c u!~devon
ReplyDeleteOh, i;m so glad i caught this. Love your little tour. What a cute site on your bed indeed and, yes, what an immaculate house you seem to have too. Way to go. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trading the New York heat, too. I'll be happy to wear a sweater. Your rooms look so cozy and inviting, just the place for a nap. Take good care!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the kitties are giving mommy a good excuse to put off making the bed a wee bit longer...good kitties!
ReplyDeleteLove that you have a little stove in your room, how very cozy.
The weather has been quite strange here in Cali for sure, but I am really liking these cooler mornings:) Xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI love those shots of the kitties in the morning, all snuggly in the covers. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful home, thanks for showing us round.
ReplyDeleteOn a chilly morning and the cats on the bed, I'd be tempted to join them!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a good day!
Such cute pictures. I love the kitties and the pictures of your house. I didn't think of it being so cool there, though I remember how chilly it gets in San Francisco in the summer.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I LOVE those kitty cats - I have a Burmese Kitty and I must post photos of her soon! LOVE the photos as always......and that necklace is VERY special!
ReplyDeleteKaren
XXXXXXXXX
PS: How does Teddy Darlink get on with the kitties?
ReplyDeleteJust love you farmhouse, and the fact that you got the little chair in Camden Maine that is one of my favorite places, we have summered there for the last 14 years, I live in Maine too..enjoying your blog and the cats, how cute !
ReplyDeleteI want to snuggle up with those little kitties.
ReplyDelete—cindy
That goodness you clarified why you call it your "squirrel stove." I had all kinds of scenarios running through my mind.
ReplyDeleteI hope you let your kitties sleep the day away, it was much too cold along the coast to kick them out of bed. Thank you for the tour, your little house looks so "New England".
ReplyDeleteDarling kitties...Alice sleeps on the bed in London, but here she is downstairs...or she feels the need to 'guard' us & bark at every little sound! Much love to you my sweet friend...warm & sunny here today, beautiful xoxo Alice & Me

Those little kitties are to cute and I am loving your squirrel wood stove. Fall is my season so the cool weather suits me just fine. I also love the view from your window. California is a beautiful place to live. Perhaps we should switch houses. LOL
ReplyDeleteWell don't those two little fur balls look cozy!
ReplyDeleteloved the little tour, but the cats in the bed take the cake :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit this morning, Kary!! Wow, I just love your little kitties - aren't cats the best at just enjoying life? And I LOVE your squirrel stove and rocking chair.
ReplyDeleteCould you please send some of that cold our way? I remember wearing gloves and a scarf going into San Francisco one summer when we lived there. The fog just never lifted and it was cold!
Wishing you and Teddy a wonderful day!! Winslow says hi and Ramses sends his love to your cats!
Hugs, Silke
Lover your pictures!! look nice! gloria
ReplyDeleteOh Kari, your kitties have me melting all over my chair. They are far too beautiful and sweet. I love that stove and chair. Simply rustic charm. Pleasure to stop by my sweet. Hugs to you, Teddy and the kitties.

ReplyDeletefun tour kary! you have such a lovely home and oh so cute kittys!

xoxo lori and owen
I would LOVE to crawl in that bed with those cats and sleep for a week! It looks so inviting!
ReplyDeleteI'd take those temperatures any day! Your kitties sure do look comfy! :)
ReplyDeleteI am freezing, too. My friend is visiting from New Orleans and we had lunch on the Pacifica coast yesterday - great Dungeness crab sandwiches but we kept our sweaters on inside the restaurant the whole time! Amazing! It was even chilly the three days we spent in Sacramento this past week!
ReplyDeleteThe cats look absolutely adorable sprawled out on the bed, they know its the most comfy bed in this loving home.
ReplyDeleteYour bed looks so comfy, who could resist? What a couple of cuties!
ReplyDeletecosy bed...smart kitties!
ReplyDeleteLove the antiques, I live with a houseful in So. Calif. and sometimes feel I'm the only one around in the area who enjoys them. no Pottery Barn for me.
LOL! LOVE the pictures of the kitties :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little stove. You house looks like it's something out of New England not CA!
Man you have a lot of friends!!! 55 comments!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love love your blog, I really do!! Love your house!! Loved the pictures of the kitties on the bed!! Loved the pictures of the party and all the goody's for the party!! Everything was just wonderful!! I have had a cat that loved cooked corn on the cob. A couple of years ago I put her picture on my blog eating the corn. Saw Teddy's picture with the corn.
Thanks for your visit!!
