My little black cat friends

 These two are definitely the cats who run Martha's house. She talks to them regularly, but their answers are often enigmatic.

This is Sabrina, who lost her back leg as a kitten and can haul her dear little self right up the scratching post to sit on the platform and look out the window.

And this is Sable, with a bit silkier texture to his fur.

But Sabrina likes to take turns for which chair at the table she's going to sit on!

I love this kitchen nook in Martha's house, and you can see Sabrina on her favorite chair (this week.)

I jokingly called this my hotel room. I was totally comfortable here!

A couple of senior gals who've been friends for 49 years! Though there have been many years of gaps in our friendship, we're so comfortable just picking up where we left off when we get together again. This is the front of Martha's pretty house behind us.

But don't think that I got to sit on the couch and write blogs! No no indeed. We went various local places (twice out for lunch) including Walmart for me to stoke up on things to bring back to Black Mountain at my apartment complex. And Martha likes to go for a walk on a trail around the local community college, so I sat and read stuff on my iPhone, and took a few pics of the winter squash the college gardeners are growing. (most of those were photographed in yesterday's post).

And I wanted to be in old town Chapel Hill, so I clicked a few pics on that trip, as well as around Pittsboro. 

Today's quote:

When we drop fear, we can draw nearer to people, we can draw nearer to the Earth, we can draw nearer to all the heavenly creatures that surround us.
