here is our little indie ... he is a real cuddle cat ... i was chatting on the phone today, and look who had to come creeping up on me!! leo snapped this pic ... of course, indie is an equal opportunity cuddler, he's purring on top of leo at the moment - watching football! *smile*
our balmy weather continues ... we had a wee bit of snow last night - but it just melted away when the sun came out ... here are two pics from my walk today ... doesn't it just make a heart say "thank you Lord!" ... the beauty all around us ...
thank you for praying for maria ... her surgery went well ... but it's always the healing that seems to give her the trouble ... she has been in the hospital for 3 months this time ... and in 2009, she has spent more time in the hospital than home ...
which brings to mind a good little story from Streams in the Desert (i highly highly recommend this devotional - it would make a wonderful present!):
quoting: This summer someone gave me some beautiful pink flowers, and as I took them, I asked, "What kind are they?" My friend answered, "They are rock flowers. They grow and bloom only on rocks where you can see no soil." Then I thought of God's flowers growing in desperate times and hard places, and I somehow feel that He may have a certain tenderness for His "rock flowers" that He may not have for his lilies and roses. ~Margaret Bottome
The trials of life are sent to make us, not to break us.

What beautiful pictures. We have had a wonderful Fall too, with a dusting of snow, that melted as yours did. Glad you and Leo are enjoying Indie!
hi to ya both,

Dear Saija,
Good to see your lovely smile and bloom like a real rock flower.
Cats can be such wonderful emotional creatures. They seem to sense where there are warm emotions and seek the best resting place just there.
Blessing to all of you, Saija, Leo, Maria and the cat.

I love your picture. My little old lady gray cat likes to cuddles like that when I am on the computer. And sometimes I even have the big yellow one also in my lap! I'm glad you are enjoying some beautiful weather. Loved the quote too ~ Love and Hugs ~
Such incredible beauty!!! Thank you for being back...praising the Lord for Satu's continued healing...
You must feel so loved by your Indie...I love to hear a cat purr. There's nothing like it in the world. Praise the Lord your sister came through her surgery well. I can't even try to imagine being her...healthwise. May God continually help her along. I enjoyed reading your Streams in the Desert too.
Awwww, what a sweet kitty! He looks just like two of mine -- Arabelle and Miss Garbo. Arabelle climbs all over me like that whenever I sit on the couch. Garbo is a bit more reclusive, though (hence her name) and would never crawl on me like that!
Sending prayers and good thoughts Maria's way!
dear saija...do you think that when we come next year to see you and leo that indie will let me hug him?
he looks so much like my sir galahad and that guy would make me fight for any hug that i tried to grab!....indie is so cute! so huggable!.love terry
