And To Think It Was Only a Short While Ago...

 

The sun was warm, a cold beer for each


the grass was green but just out of reach

The shorts were short, the feet were bare

Farewell, to thee, oh weather fair

(Speaking of fair, I had nothing to do with this one.  Say it with me, y'all: don't quit your day job, dad)

You were looking good in the sunshine Cleo, while you had it. Will you still use your new fenced-in catio if the sun is shining? Of course the concrete might get too cold.

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

Those are good memories of summer. It forgot about us this year. We had good weather in April and then it rained, and rained and rained!

Saku said...

Great memories, it will again be warm someday. Maybe you can convince your pawrents to move somewhere warm all year 'round. We haven't managed that, but you could try.

We too mourn the loss of warmth, Cleo!
It's very windy here, and cold, and it rained ALL DAY yesterday, with only a short peek at sunshine today.
*sigh*

I thought that was pretty cute sweet Cleo...and appropriate too!

The Island Cats said...

Yeah, it's gotten way cooler here too, Cleo. No open windows anymore.

It has sure gotten cold since then. You look happy getting some fresh air. XO

Those days seem long gone to me

We think you're like us, Cleo--who needs the heat of summer when snuggle weather is the best!

Summer weather is just a collection of old photographs now

Summer said...

It's close to sweater weather here too.

We feel ya, Cleo. Summer weather is definitely in our rear view mirror, too.

Furries said...

That's pretty good poetry. Sure you don't want to claim credit for it?

Snowbrush said...

Is it fun being a torty? Do other cats envy you, and does their envy make you vain?

Yes, farewell to warm weather. Thankfully, western Oregon doesn't get cold much due to its nearness to the Pacific.

Cleo living with humans is trying at best and just plain confusing most of the time. They have the thumbs, just say yes Dad and Mom that is a fine post...now pop a top on my Fancy Feast Please

We miss the heat...it could snow here (a little bit) tonight...we are hoping that it doesn't though. We hope you and your Peeps have a marvellously happy week!

Hey, now, Cleo. I think your dad is quite talented. You are, no doubt, his muse extraordinaire. ;)
