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!

Juan Carlos and his love of all things food

Oh Juan Carlos.

Such a petite little cutie. He walks around all day making this adorable little trilling noise, snuggling on my lap, and eating everything he can get his little teeth on.

I went grocery shopping today, and bought english muffins. I put them on the counter, thinking in my head that I really should put them away - either in the fridge or microwave. But I didn't.

So when I came home from class... there are the english muffins all over the floor.

JC has dragged the bag a good 15 feet across the living room, torn open the bag, and removed 5 of the 6 muffins. He's also eaten around the edge of each one, and made a huge pile of crumbs.

It's a good thing he's so darn lovable!
