June 10, 2021 Partial Solar Eclipse
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
Jimi looks very content. He’s a lucky kitty!
Oh yes he is! He loves to be outside in the garden and enjoys my company.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Dear Jimi!
Hi Micheline. Jimi sends his regards!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Cats invented indifference.
So true! They are very, very wise for sure…
Jimi has the perfect “So What!” Attitude.
Oh yes, a typical cat attitude… But afterwards he joined me for vanilla ice cream!
Have a great weekend, Tim!
Me either. 🙂 What are you lying on?
I witnessed a total eclipse 20 years ago. Now that was spectacular…
Oh, he is just magnificent!
Thank you! Maybe hard to believe but this is really what happened during the eclipse, well, kinda… 😉
Have a great weekend! Jimi sends his regards to Louis!
Le Roi bids him a friendly bonjour!
Merci bien! 🙂
Jimi does not look impressed with the eclipse. Didn’t have it here.
It was fun to see but I saw a total eclipse 20 years ago, now that was something to see…
Aw Jimi is lovely – and so nonchalant! 😀
Also, he does pick his spots to lie! It doesn’t look particularly safe under that contraption! 😀
Glad you liked the post, my friend! Jimi always love to be close to me when we’re outside. I’m so happy he now enjoys being outside. Last year he was so nervous outside. And now he got different special spots to chill out…
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
It is so great that you have given this little rescue boy a second chance, and a loving home where he can finally feel safe and secure – and loved! 😀
Yes, I’m so happy that I stumbled pure by accident on this sweet little guy. It took some time to get used to each other but now we’re both very happy…
Lovely 😀
🙂
Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
Thank you and you too 😀
Thank you! Enjoying our warm summer days and evenings!
😀
Hello lovely Belgium boys. I see Jimi found a shoelace to play with 😀 but then needed a nap. It must have been a rowdy time to miss an eclipse! haha. Blossom has a cotton banana with catnip in it that she’ll fling in the air, then hug and scratch with her back paws motoring. LOL, it’s so fun. We couldn’t see the partial solar eclipse in the west here but eastern Canadians saw it at sunrise. Very cool ! Have an awesome weekend friends 💛 xk
Hi Kelly. Jimi got a lot of expensive toys when he moved in 2 years ago, from me and my friends. But he preferred from the beginning to play with shoelaces. I have to place my shoes up high because he likes to remove the laces from the shoes… 🙂
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend! Jimi sends his regards!
Always good to have a feline perspective on things. Its usually the same but good to have
We all know cats are very wise concerning the meaning of life and how to deal with it…
Jimi knows cats are the center of the universe, and a partial solar eclipse is nothing to purr about.
So true, Patricia! Cats know what’s really important and how to deal with problems…
We couldn’t see the eclipse – rain/clouds I’m afraid but even if we had – I think Teddy would have behaved much as Jimi did……”you made me interrupt my nap for this???”…..he isn’t much of a sky watcher although he does LOVE the sun! Glad you two spent the time during the eclipse TOGETHER in the newly renovated garden……………
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
Hi Pam. Jimi is only interested in ice cream while we’re outside enjoying the warm (hot) summer days. I always love to see special things happening in the nature and the universe. But cats know what’s really important in the universe… 😉
Glad you liked this post. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend! Jimi sends his regards!
And I am certain Jimi was singing Willie Nelson’s “Blue skies smiling at me. Nothing but blue skies can I see”. We had nothing but cloudy skies here in Vancouver. Lucky Jimi. Cheers Virginia
Hi Virginia. Thanks for the Willie Nelson info. Checking out the song right now…
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend!
Jimi looks completely content in the garden, and happy to ignore the eclipse! (The light changes in some partial eclipses we’ve experienced really have been interesting to see, for us that is, no interest from cats here either.)
Hi Leah. I’m always interested to see strange and special things happening in the universe and the nature. But cats don’t mind at all, except having some vanilla ice cream with their human…
Wishing you a great weekend, my friend!
Jimi truly enjoys where he is at, no matter what the mystery of an eclipse is all about, as long as “his master” is mesmerized by nature. As long as you are happy, as he will be. I do enjoy those eclipse moments , they are like miracles. Wishing you a happy weekend and week.
Hi Cornelia. I’m so happy Jimi enjoys his time outside in the garden. I guess he needed more time because last year he always was so anxious and afraid of walking around in the garden. Nowadays he’s out there the whole day and he loves my company.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend. I’m getting my J&J vaccine at one o’clock today so I’m one small step closer to a normal world and normal life…
Hi Herman, good luck with your J&J vaccine.
Thanks! I felt nauseous tonight, some headache but had an espresso this morning so I guess everything is ok! 🙂
Safe to say Jimi wasn’t too concerned about the end of the world.
I looked at Jimi at that moment and immediately I knew everything would be alright… 🙂
Those are beautiful, expressive photos of Jimi, Herman! ❤
Thank you so much, Lavinia!
I got my vaccine yesterday, felt a little nauseous tonight but everything is ok! Glad we’re heading to a better world again…
Yes, total eclipses are something to witness, especially when you can do it from your front yard! Jimi has the right idea, though. Hold out for the ice cream!
Hi Doug. So happy summer finally arrived and we can enjoy it outside in the garden. And yes, ice cream is a very important detail…
Anything cold and refreshing will do, a nice lime blended margarita, for example always sounds good in hot weather! (A gin and tonic used to be my favorite, but you get vitamin C with the margarita. LOL!)
I love to put things in perspective too, concerning all the desserts I’m eating… 😉
I like a large glass filled to the top with ice and ice tea or plain water. That saves me calories and is refreshing, too!
Sounds very delicious on a warm sunny day!
It hits the spot!
🙂
Jimi…you are the best kitty. Hope you at least had a little taste of ice cream for your effort 🌞💕
Hi Christine. Summer’s finally here so that also means having ice cream with my furry friend outside… 🙂
Hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday! Jimi sends his regards!
dood !!!!! we iz CRACKIN UP !!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 😉 😉 😉 😉 two funnee !!! ♥♥♥
Oh… thank you so much, my friends! So glad you liked this post! It was so funny to see Jimi wasn’t interested in the eclipse.
Wishing you a great week. Jimi sends his regards!
Definitely does not look impressed. Maybe he’s waiting for a full eclipse.
… or he was waiting to join me for ice cream on this warm sunny day! 😉
Ha ha he doesn’t care! Handsome boy .. give him a pat from me please Herman 🙂
Hi Julie. Glad you liked this post!
Jimi was interested in the ice cream a few moments later… Guess this is more important for a wise cat… 😉
Jimi sends his regards!
He was just enjoying the nice spring day. And oh, there’s something going on in the sky? OK, I’ll just keep laying here. He was not impressed. Enjoy your spring in the garden!
The situation changed dramatically when I went inside for ice cream… 😉
Right now it’s too hot for the both of us. Temperatures going way up to 30° C. and higher. Thank goodness we’ll have cooler days next week… and ice cream of course!
I missed this somehow. Oh yes, you should never run out of ice cream!
No problemo! Ice cream… very, very important on hot summer days. Actually, important almost every day of the year… 😉
I agree, it’s not just for summer!
🙂
Jimi missed the eclipse. So did I. Oh well. 🤣🤣🤣
Well, I hope you had ice cream afterwards, just like we did… 😉
Gorgeous! 😀 Thank you for liking our Crustacean Compassion post, please do add yourself to the selfie wall if you haven’t already, and sign their petition. Thank you. 🙂 Love from Miranda x
My pleasure, Miranda!
Glad you liked this post!
Thank you! I love all your posts, they are such a joy. 😀
Thank you so much, Miranda! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Thank you! I wish you a wonderful Tuesday.
My pleasure. Thank you!
I LOVE the look on his face.
You are bothering me for a what? A partial solar eclipse?
OK. I will look up for a few seconds just because I love you and I want to make you happy.
And then, I’m gonna take a nap. 🙂
Hi Mary. Thank you so much for your kind comment!
I think cats believe that there are more important things in life… A partial solar eclipse… so what! 😉
Herman! I am just reading the NY Times about terrible flooding in western Europe, including Belgium. How are you, Jimi and your friends and family. I feel as if our world grows smaller as we struggle with climate issues… We are thinking of you dear Herman. Christine and Bagheera
Hi Christine. Thank you so much for your concern!
I’m safe because I live in a higher area in the center of Belgium, the eastern and southern part is the affected area. The dead toll rises to six but there are still people missing. Some houses were just swept away by devastating floods, I have never seen this in my life in this part of the world. We had large amounts of rainfall; so much rainfall as normally in 2 months.
Thank you very much, my dear friend! Jimi sends his regards!
Oh Herman, I am glad you are safe but the news and the flooding is just devastating. It seems such a cruel twist that there are places on fire or in drought while other areas are under water. My thoughts are with you dear friend ❤
Thank you so much, Christine!
Herman, I came here to check on you, but I see Christine has already asked the important question. Glad you are safe. There’s so much devastation with the weather lately…I will keep your country and all affected by the flooding in my prayers.
Hi Mary. Thank you so much for your kind comment and concern!
This morning it stopped raining, finally. There are still a lot of people missing and many houses are collapsed. I never saw something like this in my entire life.
Wishing you a great weekend, my friend!
I hope and wish you are in safe, when I heard the news I thought of you. I am glad you aare fine. I am so sad about this flood, im prayers for your country and people. Love, nia
Hi Nia. Thank you so much for your kind comment and concern!
I’m safe because I live in a higher and more open area of Belgium. We also had heavy rainfall with minor floods but it wasn’t so bad like in the southern and eastern part of Belgium. 27 people are dead so far but there are still 100+ people missing…
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
Dear Herman, I am glad to hear you, this is so tragic. So sad. We had too in the Black Sea region. The climate and the rains are not as before… Thank you, be in safe, Love, nia
I’m happy to see you’re doing fine too, Nia. Wishing you all the best, my friend!
Dear Herman, you haven’t posted and now there are great floods in some parts of your world. I hope you are all ok and everything is good with you!
Thank you so much for your kind comment and concern! I was going through a minor difficult periode lately, with some unexpected problems so I didn’t feel like posting on the blog. But seeing the floods in our country made me realise I don’t have a reason to start complaining about my personal situation.
I’m safe because I’m in a higher area. We had some minor water problems but no real damage, thank goodness. The dead toll is rather high for our small country; 31 people dead and 100+ people still missing…
Wishing you a great week ahead! I’ll post new stuff asap!
Oh good you replied and you are not in the flood area! The images we see are horrible, Post when you can, but thank you so much for the reply. I have been thinking about you for several days, watching the news.
Much appreciated, my dear friend!
Summer finally arrived last Saturday and Jimi’s having a great time chasing butterflies…
As soon as I saw the floods, I thought of my dear friend…….what has happened to Herman and Jimi? I’m so glad all is well with you!
Thank you so much! And today we’re having a good day; some close friends are coming over to celebrate my birthday, in a covid-safe environment of course… 😉
Oh Herman I missed this and missed that it was your birthday. I hope you had a wonderful day! Happy Belated Birthday.
No problemo! Thank you very much. It was a good day with lots of chocolates and ice cream… 😉
Yes, the description of a good birthday!
So true! 🙂
Happy belated birthday Herman. We were thinking of you and noticed the comment above 🌞🥳💕🐈🐈⬛
Thank you so much, Christine! We had a wonderful day; I invited a few close friends (everyone was vaccinated) and had delicious desserts with coffee and wine outside in the garden. And we didn’t break any Covid-19 rules… 😉
Hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday, my dear friend!
💕
🙂
