Enjoying Quiet Time

Snapped some photos while walking around the yard yesterday evening. These trees are in my backyard. On the left is a Sycamore, on the right is a Tulip Poplar. In the middle are rows of Blue Murray Cypress trees. The birds enjoy all of these trees. Many nests were found in them this year. I enjoy them as well. Had coffee early in the screen room today. Brendel woke me up at 5:am with her air horn meow she uses these days. She is losing her hearing. Turned into a nice morning. Now the heat has arrived. Photo is mine.

You have a scenic view in your backyard.

. Brendel is a very effective alarm

. Hope it doesn't get too hot in the day.

Brendel doubles as an alarm clock by the sounds of things. That reminds me of Willow, when she wakes she does it in grand style also.

We are enjoying this cool day here today, the heat and humidity are expected to arrive in another day or two. I hope that you and the kitties are chilling, that is all that we are doing here. We just enjoyed a quick little nap on the couch, and now are searching for a show to watch.

@CarolDM I think that Willow's cries are a bit on the loud side because she listens to her Daddy too much, he has a big booming voice.

We're just chilling and relaxing here today too, its so nice not to have to go any place or do anything.

She is something with her meows. I know it is due to her hearing loss. Trying to be patient. And a relaxing day indeed.Enjoy your day. Thunderstorms later this afternoon I hope.

I hope Brendel is ok, I've read that older kitties change their vocalizations when they're stressed.

Ahhh, yes, I didn't think of that. Better it's simply hearing loss than something more serious.

Thank you for always caring about her. She does seem ok with all she has on her plate. She is drinking lots of water, eating a little baby food in the evening, that gives her hydration as well. And she has a few hairball treats and a little dry food in the morning. And the rest of the time she is sleeping. I have to believe it is her hearing.

@rebelann I worry about her every day. I started checking the boxes in my mind when she started this and have decided it is her hearing loss.

Solitude expresses the glory of being alone. Nature provides the soundtrack within the quiet
