    Today we celebrate much silliness of the Mad Hatter from “Alice In Wonderland.” The original picture of the Mad Hatter by John Tenniel depicts him wearing a hat, bearing the note “In This Style 10/6”. We now know this is an order from the time the picture was drawn to mean a hat that cost 10 Shillings and Sixpence. The unofficial holiday was created in 1986 in Boulder Colorado by a group of computer technicians who were inspired by the Hatter and his antics in the epic fantasy novel. Tea Party anyone?

    Good morning – awesome pics! Cat in the Hat pic cracks me up – one of my favorite kid books too.
    Someone posted on the community fb page this morning that there was a mama bear and 3 cubs in the lake. Would have liked to see that but by the time I was out and about they were long gone. Bears need baffs too! I did see that adorable little black fluffy kitty though, and as always, several neighborhood goggies said good morning.

    haha I loved the frog hats to, funny enough I had to save a frog last night, one of my cats called kitty likes to bring small lizards and frogs inside, doesn’t harm them, so I then have to put them outside somewhere safe.

    Hee hee, kits like to play w/fellow creatures.
    My one kit Sushi luved crickets…would pounce on them when aired her out during the eves.

    OK, time to say ta ta ’til tomorrow…wootsday is around the corner!

    Good morning all.
    I couldn’t resist

    Frogs and more frogs. There was some clearing work done around a stream behind my house last week and now suddenly we have frogs croaking at night and even during the morning. I love the sound of croaking frogs saying ‘work-work-work’ & “bug*er work-bu*ger work”.
    JK love your froggy pic.
    Wow JJ, Mama bear and 3 cubs. I guess you need to keep up to date in your community as to where any bears are roaming from a safety point of view. Forewarned is forearmed. I love hearing about the wee kitties and googies you see on your walks.
    Buttons,
    It was lovely of Ms MP to assist with the chimney cleaning. I think our nights of needing a fire are over so this time I will get the chimney cleaned at the end of the season instead of at the beginning and having to wait weeks for the sweeps because everyone else is doing the same thing. We have a great sweep who has been cleaning Mum’s chimney for decades. It’s also a requirement of house insurance policies to have chimneys professionally cleaned each year.
    CGM do you find the frogs make a horrendous racket when your cat brings them home to you. I can remember frogs screeching the house down when our childhood cat did the same thing. They weren’t hurt, just expressing what they thought of the incident.
    Shadz loves chasing crickets and grasshoppers through the grass.
    Spring ! As I sit here typing I can see a pair of blackbirds doing a courting dance, they are going between a tree and the ground while fluttering about each other and even dropping suddenly out of the tree.
    See you tomorrow JK. Sweet dreams.

    Hope Ms. Moneypenny enjoys her bath! The froggy hats are adorable! Frogs have quieted down around here, except for the occasional bullfrog.
    My cat Taz loved hunting crickets. She was an indoor/outdoor kitty and when she went outside she went to specific places to look for them. Brother’s cat Lexx has hunted a few crickets in the basement, brother is pleased.
    Had a nice visit at Mom’s, the stopped in at a beauty salon and got a pink hair extension. Never had one before, but since it’s going toward breast cancer research, thought it would be fun to try. Leela wants to know why she can’t have pink fur. *sigh*
    Isn’t it awesome to watch birds do their springtime thing? You can’t not feel happy when seeing that.

    I’m back, month o’ holidays over ’til next year!
    I see that I missed a lot. Fab Cafés, big tks PG for opening, MS for pic addy’s and everyone!
    JK that word play post is precious!
    I see that Buttons stopped by with tale of Ms MP the chim-chim-cheree kitty!
    Wondering where ECB has been. Hope that she is just busy with stuff and that she’ll post soon.
    Got into DIY mode yet again as found me 2 corner pieces, like isosceles triangles (flunked geometry!) But turned one into a cornice just below ceiling in LR, purrfect for rounding out room somewhat and displaying my articulated wooden snake “offering” realistic apple. A bit freaky but I love it! Then noted that a shelf as installed Sun did not allow my French doors to laundry area to open properly. *Sigh* Resulting in 2 hrs of relocating the thing and patching up drill holes. And now I have an accursed level so wanting to ensure that everything is on the level.
    Purr-fectionist? No, not me! Which is a good segue into Wednesday Café. Check it out! 😉
