Cooking a Cat !



We have an arrangement outside with an old hearth from the farmhouse
and a barbeque space beside it.

In the middle is the statue of a bager posing as the Buddhist priest
Daruma San.







Now look who is ready for dinner.

with his best friend -
summer evening

I like cats, and that statue is just beautiful... a badger? Whatever it is it's beautifully done... ah, I'd like the artist to make me a simlar cat one :)

It’s very funny photos, Gabi san. ^-^

Bernd san makes everything cleverly, doesn’t he?
That’s very good job!
The same hearth as this was used at my parents’ home
in my childhood.
It reminded me of my old home sweetly. ♪

Overlooking a far mountain range, how is the bath, Haiku kun?

五右衛門の 気分よろしや 郷の夏
(goemon no kibun yoroshi ya sato no natsu)
goemon omitted goemon-buro: means Japanese old form
of bathtub just like he getting in.

Your photos stirred my nostalgia softly.
Thank you very much, Gabi san!

Lovely photos, lovely story, Gabi san! Wish I were there to enjoy haiku and haiku kun and perhaps even a barbecue -- and OF COURSE the outdoor bath!

Mind Games.
I spotted Gabi's post, "COOKING A CAT" and jumped down to her opening line where i "read" ...
"our cat is a constant SAUCE of joy and pleasure..."
Probably says something about me that I really do not want to know:-)
Super picture, Gabi.
