Can you tell I'm super impressed? No? Well you may look like this too if a human dragged you to a vet and only posts once in a blue moon. Maybe I should paint his butt blue. Then he'll have to post all the time. It is iwsg day though. So things have to flow. What things you ask? We'll fill out that task.
Just keep kicking. If the landing isn't sticking. You just keep kicking. The wounds don't need licking.
Sleep is important too. Just do it within view. Especially if near a lake. In drowning you may not want to partake.
There are always strings. Sorry. You can't grow wings. Pat won't let her climb a tree. And there are things you just don't have time for or can't do at your sea.
Sometimes you need to stick your tail in the air. Let all pass like gas between your cheek pair.
Have to let your mind run free. Go where it takes thee.
They'll be a little sludge in everything you do. No matter how many times you go through.
All bridges have been taken by someone. So cross it and get the job done.
Wade in and don't be afraid. Getting wet is what could get you paid.
Don't be afraid to take a nap. Good to avoid the no sleep trap.
And no matter what you do, you will piss off someone's view. You never ever will please all. So shit in their cheerios and answer the call.
Sometimes you'll be thought nuts. That is okay. Just don't sniff butts.
Good to take in the view. Never know what it will bring forth anew.
And check for the crap. Like this chap. You don't want bloodsuckers to bring you down. Toss them to some other town.
Take the time you need. Only once will it take seed. You can't get it back. It is good to go off the beaten track.
Look ahead and up too. Don't always look in the rear view. All can come together as one. They all get the job done.
The road can be long and windy and snowy and pothole filled and crappy as can be, but no matter what, get back up and make it to the sea.
And that is the IWSG day from me. The cat just let his mind fly free. How goes it in your blogland spot? Do you chase a red dot? I hope that doesn't come to pass. You may get made fun of if so by my little rhyming ass.
Enjoy life, forget the strife.
Naps are good!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful area you live in, Pat.
That they are. Lots to take in here indeed.
DeleteYes, naps are great. I love your pictures, especially of your cat. You really capture her essence.
ReplyDeleteNaps can win indeed. Takes a few photos to get it lol
DeleteYou captured life, writing, pictures, family, thrown in an Olympic landing nod, and did the best Pat Hatt post. Great pics and busy/comfy life. I love the pics of the boys wading the water - that's summer sweetness. Hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeletehaha can get it all in there with ease as it is a breeze. Yeah, in they went. Well here as can be, hope all is good at your sea.
DeleteLooking ahead and not back is a best laid plan, unless your driving and need to see what shenanigans the cars behind you are up to. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your photos!
Teresa
haha yeah, that is a wise choice indeed
DeleteHi Pat! Great photos. Looks like you are having a nice summer. I like that view, but please keep the deer and ticks!
ReplyDeleteWhat? I can ship the ticks to you with ease. Little suckers will probably survive too.
DeleteBeautiful photos! I love all the ones you post on Instagram.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Enjoy that spot over there indeed
DeleteI've discovered napping just recently. It has it's perks!
ReplyDeleteThat it does indeed
DeleteThat's a lot going on and it's nice to see so many critters!
ReplyDeleteMany critters abound here.

Got name right indeed.
DeletePat has been hanging with the rugrats a bit haha no fish though.
What? No love for the burds? lol
Lots of encouraging advice and wonderful photos here, Pat! (Except for the dastardly tick!) Good to see you! I'm likely not making it to Nova Scotia this year. I'll have to satisfy myself with your photos. All the best!
ReplyDeleteYeah. The tick can stick it lol That stinks you can't make it, gotta love pandemics, got many a shot at our sea though.
DeleteNice to see you here and that you have been enjoying many views. I love the horses pic which is something that can be framed as well as the squirrel one too. Is that a tick on your pant leg? Yuck, no matter what. What a lovely road to ponder life as does the cat while she naps.napping is hard work.
ReplyDeleteMuch a creature around here to capture. Yep, even the crummy ticks. Napping takes skill lol
DeleteYou've sure been keeping busy this summer judging by all those great views. Ugh to the tick. Jason had one on his hat yesterday. Probably from digging my dog out of my hydrangea bush which seems to be the current favorite hiding spot. I had to check the pups over real good before we brought them back in the house.
ReplyDeleteRound and round and round we go here lol Yeah, find those nasty buggers and get rid of them. Damn things are everywhere.
DeleteOh so cute photos
ReplyDeleteI love the cats
xx
Thanks
Delete"All bridges have been taken by someone."
ReplyDeleteCross it and get 'er done.
Ain't that the truth?
You're a good sleuth.
The kids are smart too.
Getting wet's the best thing to do.
Have to just go
DeleteAnd fall high or low
Wet beats hot
Even hot to trot
Love all the photos. Beautiful place you live in.
ReplyDeleteMuch surrounds indeed
DeleteI rarely ever see cats on leashes. They need them more than dogs. Though, most are smart enough not run into traffic unlike a dog
ReplyDeletelol yeah, dogs are dumb and think cars will magically stop for them
DeleteYes, no matter what you do,
ReplyDeleteyou'll piss off someone's view.
So true.
As true as Scooby Doo.
A handful of reader left in my bay
Few left to play.
That can't be right,
day or night.
Hope I didn't piss you up too
like the rest of my crew.
Bridges are taken, so true,
and before you know it,
they're painted pink or blue
or forever burned
And when you turned,
they'd be gone like money in the bank.
Who do we need to thank?
Ourselves?
What's your view these days, Pat?
What's your view, Cat.
Great post
from coast to coast.
Blue
Burn the suckers down
DeleteWatch em frown
Then trot away
Screw em, we say
can't please all
And their ra ra ra call
Let em go get lost in the sea
Maybe get full of fish pee
Same crap different pile here
With our rhyming rear
My point exactly.
DeleteIndeed
DeleteAnd don't believe the hype.
DeleteSome words of wisdom in view
ReplyDeleteSo many things left to do
Take the time you need
Who knows were roads will lead
Be happy, enjoy the moments
Avoid postponements
Have a great day
There at your bay
Have to just do
DeleteCan't wait for a new view
New is mostly crap anyway
As they try to have their say
Wow, your pictures are great. Ducks, cats, deer and bugs. I hope you, the kids and the animals had a good time.
ReplyDeleteWe always do at our zoo
DeleteA day in the life of a pet or a kid. Both have it made and don't have a clue that they do (even with vet visits and pre-determined bed times. :)
ReplyDeletelol yep. Pets will never realize it and kids take a looooong time too.
DeleteGreat shots! Looks like someone could be a photographer. :) If you paint his butt blue, cat, I want to see pictures of that. Ok, so I don't WANT to see pictures, but I would need to look briefly while squinting. hahahaha
ReplyDeletehahahs such a perv
DeleteNaps are good!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful area you live in, Pat.
That naps are!
