In March 2014, I shared a handy window-washing tip (click here). The cactus I straddled in that post is now impossible to straddle (and, no, I haven't tried).
I forgot to share a cat photo yesterday (they use any cactus as a back scratcher). They haven't stopped watching for birds. So, today you get two of Dudo!
CUANDO NOS MUDAMOS a Fuengirola hace casi cinco años, llenamos la terraza con plantas solo para descubrir el poder de la Madre Naturaleza. La mayoría de nuestras plantas originales fueron destruidas por los vientos ciclónicos de invierno o devoradas por insectos depredadores. Varios lograron sobrevivir.
En marzo de 2014, compartí una útil sugerencia para lavar ventanas (haz clic aquí). El cactus que monté a horcajadas ahora es imposible de montar (y no, no lo he intentado).
Me olvidé de compartir una foto de uno de los gatos ayer (ellos utilizan cualquier cactus como un rascador de espalda). No han dejado de mirar pájaros. Entonces, ¡hoy tienes dos de Dudo!

DeleteI prefer HEhalf.
It would have been interesting explaining to the doctor how the torn ended up there. Cats are so patient and persistent.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteIt would probably wouldn't be the first time for the doctor.
My what a big cactus you have.
ReplyDeleteAnd Dudo appears to be stretching his jaws, you know, just in case.
Bob:
DeleteAnd did you notice Dudo then licking his chops? You know, just in case. Poor boy.
Wild things happen on your terrace.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteSo much calmer (for the plants at least) since we installed the glass curtain.
Dudo looks as if he's bored waiting for that immobile cactus to start moving.
ReplyDeleteRay:
DeleteHe got in a really good stretch after that. And then it was back to watching the birds.
of course cats would use something that pointy as a back scratcher
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteWe were so worried they'd hurt themselves and then we see how they use them.
I think that cactus likes where it is!!
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteIt sure is happy. It was on the terrace and thriving and then we moved it to our front door. Even better, it seems.
Wowser, that is one tall cactus... and one big Dudo mouth stretch!
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteOur other tall cactus will soon have to be topped off. Fortunately, it's multi-limbed.
That cactus you're straddling looks too close for comfort.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteIt DID get stuck to my shorts.
We get the, um, er, point, as it were.
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteSo did I.
One of the first things you learn about living in AZ is not to touch the pricks.
