Emily is inspired by William Woodsworth





 --for Ruby

I wandered, lonely as a cat
That stalks the fence o’er yards with ‘Dales
When, all at once, I saw a crowd
Of fluff-tailed squirrels and plumpy quails.
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Jumping and dancing in the breeze.
I strained and strained against the leash
To catch that wealth of critter-meat—
I almost caught; my teeth snapped shut—
And now, when on the couch I sprawl,
In drooling or in pensive mood,
They flash upon my inward eye
And scamper to my twitching paws.





"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth

Green day

We plant green things to eat.


We swipe eat food from green plates


while wearing green collars.


People scrub our dishes with green brushes.
 


We get our cookies from jars with green trees.



The one chair where we are not allowed to sit is green.



 
We destroy play with green toys.

Emily's sunny Saturday





 Emily's favorite watchdog spot to keep the place safe from tree rats and other varmints.


 Meanwhile....


 
Well, of course I'm cute.
