Mr. Tibbs

We have a house guest named Mr. Tibbs! He is a very handsome guinea pig and he will be staying here for a week, while my neighbor is away. I must say, a new animal in the house adds a whole new dimension and girl cat seems bemused by him. I was afraid her carniverous background instincts would come out, but she merely seems cautiously curious. Still, while we are out or asleep I will put him in a closed room just in case!

Here is a bluberry muffin baked on Sunday for brunch. I was quite pleased with them because I had not planned on making them and they turned out very nice. Cakes really, nice little cakes. That is a pretty dish I bought in Mexico.

Seedlings! There are my geraniums, just making an appearance now. I am exited about them. I also have a packet of columbine and shasta daisy seeds to soak. They are perennials so I am hopeful of future gardens full of them... When I was a little girl, there was a park we walked our dog in that was covered in daisies and we would pick them, even though that was frowned upon. There were just so many, all down by the rivers edge. The columbines have just always reminded me of flower fairies. I think they are so pretty.

My sister's dwarf rabbit is here on an extended visit. I was worried how my two cats would react to him. One just ignores him. The other can't decide if he's a small, strange looking cat, or a toy. I have to make sure she doesn't bully him, although it's fun to see the bunny chase her around the living room!

I have to admit, I totally 'squeeeeee'd out loud when I saw the first picture. I love guinea pigs but I know that MY girl cat certainly wouldn't be able to keep away if we had a guinea pig house friend.

Hi, Tania! Ohhhh, I fell in love with Mr. tibbs.. and my children too! they said he is so cute! I love animals. We have two dogs, a cat, two rabbits and an old turtle who errived at my house one day from somewhere... we don't know.. now, she is one more of the family.
What a nice travel you did!
And, the course of making cakes seems to be very interesting.
I'm glad you are ok. Kises!

That piggy is so cute! Makes me want to run out a but one but my sausage dog would be on the hunt until she got the poor thing! Also love your Mexican plate...I love the that pottery. Your seedlings look happy to be alive!

I love columbines, too! And have always felt that they were wee little faeries....

As for Mr. Tibbs-- he's a darling! I'm so glad girl cat does not think he's a snack!
