Golden Magpie's Profile

I switch out my clothes every 6 months. It helps me to stay organized and keeps my closet from exploding. It's fun to unpack all the "new" items. This is a tradition I grew up with and I will continue to do it.

If you are thinking about beekeeping Plan Bee is a great book to read to get an idea of what it is like. The book is a true story about a woman who wanted to raise chicken but her neighborhood wouldn't allow it so she did bees instead.

"The left side of any composition can hold more visual weight and feels more comfortable to the eye."
I was thinking about this comment too. I think that it makes sense if you consider the relationship between the eyes and the brain hemispheres. The left eye is connected to the right hemisphere of the brain where art, creativity, music, holistic though and intuiition are typically preceived.

When my young nephew was visiting he was watching a lot of TV and the family discovered that our Maine Coon loves TV! The cat never took interest until childrens programs were on. Even then the cat, Jiggs, only wants to watch certain programs like Teletubbies and Dora the Explorer. Jiggs does not like Spongebob Squarepants :) Months later my mother would occassionally turn on cartoons for the cat and he would come running to watch his favorite programs.

Now the cats live with me. I don't have a TV but Jiggs is entertained for hours by the neighbors bird feeder, especially in the winter when the birds gather in larger numbers and are easily seen against the snow.

I agree that sometimes the cats get bored and whiny. I think the meow a lot when they are lonely or bored so I pull out the toy basket and play with them. I'm not buying anymore fancy toys though because of all the toys I have the favorites are little cloth covered mice with rattles inside and crumpled up balls of paper.
