on the porch

Our apartment has a screened in porch, and I love it. I'm out on the porch right now, and listening to about 3879 different birds calling. All I see are trees, with the morning sun breaking through and hitting all the green leaves. (I can hear traffic too, but we'll ignore that right now.)

Juan Carlos is out here with me too, sitting on the windowsill. The cats, especially Bella and Juan Carlos, enjoy coming out here. When I open the blinds in front of the sliding door that opens to the porch, Bella always runs over and waits for me to open the door.


She came out this morning, but the JC did too, and got too close for her comfort. She's a princess like that. When he leaves her alone, she'll just sit up on a windowsill and watch and listen. She's the most graceful at jumping up on the sills. Omar can do it, but he's pretty big, so I think he has a hard time fitting himself n the 2 inch wide beam. JC is the smallest, but I guess he's just not as strong as Bella, because he's always scrambling to make it up all the way.

I really love coming out here at the end of the day, when it's hot and humid, and drinking a beer. Right now I just have coffee. It's not as fun, but I supposed it's more appropriate for 8:40 in the morning.

PS- Of course, right after I posted, Bella came back out!
