Flowers of Angst (not!), Seedling, and Bear

[tinhuvielartanis]

Diane, Bobby, and I went to see Aunt Tudi this morning. I helped her get a shower while Diane and Bobby went down to the cafe. When we were all finished and returned to Aunt Tudi's room, there was a large bouquet of flowers waiting for Aunt Tudi. The card said they were from dydan, who called Aunt Tudi her birthday buddy. Aunt Tudi was beside herself. She wanted me to thank dydan, and tell her that this was a wonderful and beautiful surprise. Here's a picture of her with the flowers, all happy and a-dither.

We spent a couple more hours with Aunt Tudi, then I took Diane and Bobby home and came home myself. When I walked up on the porch to come into the house, I heard this plaintive meowing, but I figured it was just Smidgen, 'cos she does that a lot when we're gone from the house for a long time. I let the dogs out to the bathroom and, when I went to close the storm door, I spied this tiny grey kitten sitting on our pile of bricks on the porch, partially hidden by the contorted filbert. It was meowing it's head off. So I meowed back, and it began a feline conversation with me until I reached it and picked it up. His fur is covered with little round seeds, so many that I can't get them all out. He started purring the minute I picked him up. I gave him some food and water, and he curled up on the couch cushion behind me for a wee nap. Here's a picture of him. I've named him Seedling, for obvious reasons. I'm dropping him off at Doc Patch's for a check up and seed removal on Monday.

I called Aunt Tudi to see if we had any kitty litter for when Seedling would need it and she told me she had company. Hannah and Cindy dropped by to give her a stuffed get well bear. Aunt Tudi is loading up on get well goodies this time and I'm so grateful for that. She needs to be let know that people care about her. I don't think she has any doubt this time around.

And, yes, we do have kitty litter. :D

Wow those flowers are lovely! And the kitten is just adorable! He has a very wise look :)

Is she still have BP problems? Did you see the comments I made on facebook regarding to sitting/standing BP and manual or using an electronic reader?

Yeah, they're taking the BP every which way to make sure it's a correct reading. The results are all very close.

Awwww!! Yay! I'm so glad she got them! I wanted to be sure she got a live plant so she could take it home and plant it at the homestead when she's feeling better!

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

She most certainly will! And she's working on a personal message for me to pass along, so look for that probably tomorrow. Thank you again. You're a true sweetheart.

Tell her that Jared and I are keeping her in our thoughts and prayers and hope she's able to come home soon!

Sweet looking kitty. Tell Aunt Tudi that people are thinking good thoughts from over here in Texas.

Give Tudi my best... given my recent experience, I sympathize...

And that's a cute little kitty!

I showed my Mom the pic of the lucky little kitty. She wants to smush and nuzzle, and approves of Seedling as a name.

Aunt Tudi looks so cute with a perm! I hope she feels better soon!

That's one gorgeous kitten! It'll be a lovely welcome home for Aunt Tudi. And having read your next post, I'm exceptionally happy that she's coming home soon :o)
