Just as I was starting to umm and ahh about what to post today, Nomes has saved the day by coming up with a topic. So here's "something that I look at everyday that makes me smile".
Firstly it's the kangaroos that hang about on the grassy patch over the other side of our back fence. I love seeing them there, especially this time of year when it's usually a little nuclear family, complete with joey! Most days they just lie around, munch on the grass, and scratch.
One day a few months back I was in the kitchen, looked up through the window and saw a whole bunch (anyone know the collective noun for kangaroo's?) of young males. At first they were play-boxing, and chasing each other around, then I looked up again a few moments later and they were in a conga line! Weirdest thing I've seen in ages. It definitely made me smile.
Of course the other thing that makes me smile everyday is this little bunch'o'fluff. She's taken to wedging herself into this little box, you can't see very well in this shot, but looking from front on she looks like a muffin or hearty loaf of bread in a loaf tin; packed tightly in the bottom and all spilling out over the top.
I keep meaning to paint that little box to look like a car. hehehehe... Just the thought of that makes me giggle.
Pimp my ride!
Thanks Nomes, I needed a good smile today.

Ahhh the classic cat in the box! Always a favorite. :)
My dog loves to do the same thing... everyon thought i was being mean or cheap by buying a bunny bed for her (cause it's kinda small) but she LOVED it. I think it makes them feel snug and safe.
The kanga conga line made me laugh too- thanks!
Love that mob of kangaroos, so special.
ha! the kangaroos are too much. the must be very entertaining. of course, the kitty is adorable.
What an awesome view you have! I loved seeing a pic of your cat squeezed into the box, too. I second you painting it to look like a car and posting a pic of your kitty "driving" it.
Kanga Conga!! Love it!
That's so funny..those kangas definitely look weird!
I've fixed the giveaway link..must have been having one of my brain fritzes sorry..he he he
Oh you should so pimp his ride. That is too cute, and I love the face, she so seems to be thinking that you are mocking her in her private miuffin moment.
That is too wonderful!
It must be wonderful to look out of your window and see more than birds (my English teacher would be appalled, I used the same word twice!). I can't wait to be woken up by kookaburras!
Love the kangas!!!
Yep it's a mob of kangaroos and that mob is groovy. Thanks for the laugh!
You made me smile!
And I think seeing kangaroos first thing in the morning made me realize how far you are from here... a total different world... The only animals I see in the morning are pigeons...ha, ha...
And imagining that conga line had me laughing out loud...
And then the idea of turning the box into a car... ha, ha... I can't wait to see it...
:D
I am still so amazed that you get to see kangaroos every day right in your back yard.
Love the look on your kitty's face. Isn't it funny how they see every box as a challenge and must wedge themselves into it no matter what the size?
Good morning doll:
I got my Pikalund package for August today and I have to tell you I was freaking because I got a little package from you. I have to say it was so generous and I loved the little nature thank you notes. That says so much about your beautiful personality. 'Thank you for the tree.' etc.
Love Renee xoxoxoxo
The kangaroos are so cute! How fun to see that outside your window!
One of my cats does the same thing as your girl, and in fact I call her "muffin" when she does it. Hobbes is a little chubby, and the box she curls up in is more square, so she really looks like a square bottommed cupcaked when she squeezes in there. I'll have to get a picture, so funny!
no worries lovey anytime, jelous as hell about the kanga's that is so cool
Kanga conga! HA! That is truly awesome!
LOVE the silly skippys! That's pretty special - to be able to look out onto that view. And your cat is just adorable... you know it's not just cats that love climbing in boxes, I have a toddler who does exactly the same thing!
I think someone else mentioned it - "mob" is the collective noun for kangas - me thinks.
How lucky to have them so close to where you live
How cool is that to see kangaroo’s everyday? I get to see squirrels, chipmunks and the neighbour’s cat.
I think you have the better view!
I have enjoyed your blog for quite a while now. Thanks so much for sharing!
Have a great week.
