Hello, Readers.
The weekend began with a graduation party
and ended with a glow walk through the zoo.
It has been non-stop activity here at the Lamp Post.
I often refer to myself as a Ring Master
because I invite you all in each week
for a ticket to see my
three ring circus.
I think I meet all the qualifications
for the Ringmaster job.
Circus Ringmaster:
- Role: The ringmaster is the public face of the circus, introducing acts, maintaining the flow of the show, and often adding their own commentary or performances.
- Responsibilities: They may choreograph opening and finale sequences, ensure the smooth running of the show, and interact with the audience.
- Noteworthy: Some ringmasters also act as the circus's artistic director.
I very much enjoy my Circus Life.
I certainly have enough animals to
care for and tame.
The number one question I have been asked this week is:
How is the cat?
How is the cat?
Mr. Lamp Post rescued an abandoned kitten
at Whitford Park
10 days ago.
The vet estimated little Whitford was
only 4 weeks old upon rescue.
His eyes were glued shut,
sticky with infection.
He was limp
and nearly starved.
After just a few doses of antibiotics
his eyes opened--
but even more concern arose.
The Lamp Posters are happy to report
that with steady and continuous care
he's improving!
Little Whitford is very playful
and he can see!
He pounces and plays
just like any other kitty.
He is very lovable and friendly!
After another week of steady progress
the vet will give the green light for him to meet Gus.
I've had a talk with Gus
and he appears to have a short memory.
He was rescued from a ditch
two summers ago.
King Gus told me
he didn't want any peasants in the house.
I told him that this is America
and there are no Kings here,
and he's going to have to move
his striped rump over
and make room.
The second most asked question of the week:
How are you going to do without high school sports?
That has been one full and very busy ring
for many years.
The Lamp Posters will always be fans
and support the Huskies!
We polished off the baseball season
with the All Star Game.
As soon as Sam gave back
his orange and black.
he picked up the
red
white
and
blue!
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Watch the American Legion Baseball Players
in Ring #!
Before I forget--
here's the Strawberry moon.
The Ringmaster likes her camera.
These were taken about 11:00 pm
The real beauty came at 5:00 am!
The Ringmaster found great reward
in looking at the western sky
during Whitford's early morning feeding.
At the graduation party
so many people asked this:
What happened to the shoes?
What happened to the shoes?
Photos of Sam,
artwork,
and artifacts of his accomplishments
were displayed on the garage shoe racks.
will answer next week,
because I'm just too tired to write anymore.
Plus,
Natalie and I are on a targeted House Attack
beginning this week
and will share the method to our madness.
I am happy I didn't break my 14 year streak
with weekend blog posts!
Enjoy your week ahead, Readers.
I'll see you on Friday.
