 "Or ta simplee relax."

"But best o' all is da daydreamin' cuz yoo kin go

AMEN!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DANI: PORTRAIT OF A PURRINCESS

DANI: IT'S OWL ABOUT ME AND MY OWL

Dani is all spiffed up in black and white today -- with a hint of sparkle here and there.

Tonight she's going out on a date with her feathered friend, the snowy owl.  In his honour she has dressed in black and white.  Her dress has a black bodice with sparkly studs on the back and a white tulle skirt with black lace trim at the hem.

At the waist is a pretty black bow with a white-diamond fastener.

Dani's large hat is quite speCATular in a black weave with wide brim and accented by a flourish of white feathers.  She is wearing a white gold necklace with black-and-white-diamond owl shaped pendant as an ode to her 'bird of a feather' (or soul mate as she would like to think).

And likewise, Dani's purrse is in white and black leather adorned with a white crystal owl in the center.  The flap of the purrse has a scalloped edge and lace-like cutout pattern.  The pure black bottom sets the top part off quite nicely and the long strap is silver chain metal attached to a leather strip in order to cushion the shoulder.

Dani isn't the first pussycat to become enamoured of an owl.  In fact one of her favourite books is called "The Owl and the Pussycat", so we'll just have to wait and see where things go.

After all it's what's in your heart and your spirit that matter the most
even if you're from different species.

DANI'S PETROSPECTIVE FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 18TH

Here's Dani in the garden in her lavender net frock.  It was taken precisely this time last year.

She was very busily tracking bees, but still had time ...

... to give me a bit of the oFUR the shoulder smoulder.

And she was only a kitten of five months at the time.

How PURRYcocious!

"O beehive, Mama!" said Dani.

"Why doncha jus' bee good, like me?" 

DANI: A FIELD FOR FELINES AND FLOWERS

What better place to take a break than in a field of flowers on a sunny day ...

... as long as you have a wide-brimmed hat to shield your eyes, and a purrse to stash your goodies.  Dani's hat is a light purple weave with flower adornment.  She is wearing a sparkly silver two-strand necklace with purple jewels that catch the sun.  And her purrse has already managed to capture a sun all of its own!

In this field butterflies abound, attracted by the abundance of flowers.

You certainly won't have to go far afield to find a sight like this.

But you'll have to be patient and keep your eyes peeled to CATch a glimpse of this!
