The Non-Wandering Post

Greetings one and all. Meili here. Now you all know I am a wandering cat. My human and I have been to a lot of places, and, as I told you last week, we have recently moved from Oregon to New Jersey. That was a very long trip.   Very.   Long. 

With all that driving and the unpacking that goes with a move, my human and I didn't really feel a lot like venturing out this past weekend. Therefore, we didn't. That's right. No adventure this week. We just lounged around our new crib (is that still a cool word?), streamed shows on the computer, unpacked and made this place our new home. For some of us, that means making oneself comfortable.

Obviously, I am very capable of doing just that. Anywhere. Literally.

My human also made the place feel a bit like home. For her that means books, art and her crafts, which at the time being is loom knitting.


She even made me a toy with her yarn. How thoughtful. I like my toy.
My human had to take a LOT of pictures to get these few. So many of them were out of focus. But those were my favorites. They show how wicked fast I am.

I even found some place high up so I can have a great view.
Our weekend may have been low key, but it was just what we both needed. Hopefully, by next weekend, we will have our adventurous spirit back and wander out into the world again. So this week I am speaking to myself as much as to you when I say, keep wandering my friends, but take time off to relax when needed.

Mount Saint Helens

Greetings! It's Meili here in the Pacific Northwest. Did you know the Cascade Mountain range, which runs from Northern California to British Columbia in Canada (that's a whole different country!) has active volcanoes? Well, it does. Quite a few actually. Most haven't erupted in hundreds of years, but one in particular erupted fairly recently.  I'm talking about Mt Saint Helens. It erupted in May of 1980. My human assures me that wasn't very long ago, but it sure was a lot of cat generations ago. My grandparents weren't even alive then! The mountain stood at 9,677 feet above sea level before the eruption. Now it is only 8,365 feet above sea level. The eruption blew 3.7 billion cubic yards of rock and volcanic material 15 miles into the sky, leaving a huge caldera in the side of the mountain. This would bury 66,000 football fields 10 feet deep. I don't know much about football fields, but I'm pretty sure that would fill A LOT  of litter boxes. Today it is

Discovery Garden

Greetings all. Meili here with another adventure. This week my human and I visited Discovery Garden. This is a small botanical garden in Roseburg, Oregon that is part of the horticultural school of Oregon State University. Even though it wasn't a big garden, it was a fun place to visit. They have a Japanese garden, a children's garden, an herb garden, a rock garden, a butterfly garden, a perennial garden, and a blooming garden.  We started in the Japanese Garden.   It had a lovely weeping evergreen. So very pretty. It had lichen growing on it that contrasted with the bark so well. There was also a stone bird bath,   but the birds here must already be clean, because I didn't see any at the bird bath. And I looked.   Oh, I looked. There were these lovely Japanese letters, but my human couldn't tell me what they said. They still made for lovely garden art. Plus they had a pretty little Japane
