Thankful Thimble Thursday

I misspoke last week after looking at my calendar incorrectly. Our weekly participation in Angel Sammy's Thoroughly Poetic Thursday challenge will resume in July, that being next week rather than today. I'm finally shuffling up both my work and personal schedule in July, in order to better fit in some of my personal hobbies that mean a lot to me yet that I've been neglecting for months on end now. All that to say, our weekly poems will return next Thursday.

All of that rambling aside, how about we move on to Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop?


As always, Thimble is here to share her gratitude.


Today, Thimble is grateful for when the sun allows for glamour shots like this one. She and all of us here are also thankful for friends like all of you!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today's flashback doodle is a weird one that I scribbled up last year, and it relates to some strange decor that stays out year round at my house. And by that I mean that there are two 5' skeletons that hang out in my house every day of the year. One of them sits in in the corner of my little library, and the other one sits at my art desk when I'm not using it. This one's for you, skeletons.

Tip of the Day

Is your kitty a chewer? Do they put anything and everything in their mouth? While we're sure you all know to keep potentially dangerous plants out of your home, do you have safe or fake plants on which your kitty chews? If your cat goes outdoors, do they tend to eat grass on the lawn? If the answers to any of these are yes, and if medical issues have been ruled out for any abnormal behaviors, do perhaps consider keeping some cat grass growing in your home. Even if any of the above statements aren't true of your cat, you can of course still offer cat grass. Cat grass is a safe plant on which many cats enjoy chewing, and which also serves as a source of fiber than can help keep things moving sufficiently through the GI tract. For example, cat grass might be able to help prevent issues with hairballs.

You can purchase cat grass that has already been grown and is ready for your kitty's chompers, or you can grow your own. It is relatively simple to grow, and is typically also cheap. So, do consider looking into keeping cat grass in your home, both for your kitty's entertainment as well as for their health.

Thimble is a cutie. I like the drawing. We have a skeleton on a chair outside year round. Great tips too.
