Happy Monday Morning!
This morning I’m having a little fun with some of my Mom’s paintings that I look at every single day hanging on the walls of her studio (where my duplex is!). I look at the painting and decide WHERE I would want to be if I was “there”………
For instance, if I was “in” this picture, I’d want to be up in the tippity top of that red lighthouse – spying out a little window and watching the seagulls swoop around on the beach!
If I was in THIS picture, I’d want to be up in the woods at the edge of the big rocks – watching the waves (and again probably keeping one eye on the seagulls just in case one landed right in front of my nose!!)….
This one is super easy…..I’d be lying on this great front porch….maybe even sitting in that rocker…..just hanging out – maybe even napping!
This one is a little tougher – it’s an old covered bridge – but I think it would be neat if up in the rafters of the bridge was a spy spot I could have climbed up to; maybe even some convenient birds nests up there too so I’d have plenty of “entertainment” !
I think if I was in this one I might be peeking out one of the windows in that great big white house……watching the sailboats sail by:
And in this one, if I was here, I’d……………….wait a minute!…………hey hey……….with THIS picture, I don’t have to “imagine” – this is NOT one of my Mom’s paintings, this is a photo of my house and I live here NOW and chances are I’m on the front porch – lovin’ life and wishing my Mom would quit snapping photos and come sit with me up here on the hill!
If you could pick one of the paintings above to be “in” – which one would it be and where would you be if you were there?????
Happy Make Believe Monday………….and don’t forget tomorrow is Teaser Tuesday………..!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy 😀

Oh Sammy, you’re so lucky to have such a talented Mom so you can play make believe Monday. We’d be on holiday on an island in Finland, sitting on the porch and watching boats go by.

Hi Miss June! Awww…..aren’t you a sweetie for saying you’d be with me wherever I was. Wouldn’t that be swell??? We are getting rain this morning – misty/light stuff but it’s WET so that’s all that counts. It’s also pretty coolish outside again so it just might be – as you said – GREAT napping weather!

Good morning, Sammy. Isn’t my Auntie June a sweetie??? At first I thought I’d say that I’d be with you on the front porch, but since I’m an inside kitty only, maybe I’d be INSIDE that house, watching you in that rocker!
What a fun game, and your Mom is one talented lady!
Happy Monday – it’s a rainy morning here.

Hi Sundae! I like that old house on a lake painting BESTEST of all. When I was deciding where I’d be in that one – I gave a little bit of thought to saying “inside the little boat” because it might be a nice nap spot BUT what if it accidentally slipped into the lake???!!! I wouldn’t like that at all!
Love and Happy Rainy Morning!

My word, did your Mom paint those? They are fantastic. If she did, then please tell her I am so impressed with how talented she is.
I see you always pick to be on the top of things. Does that mean you’ve got used to looking down on everyone now?
LikeLike
HA! Never thought about that “on top of things looking down” thing but perhaps we superior felines have delusions of grandeur? Mom thinks that’s probably true! My Mom has painted for many years and sold most of her work but saved her “favorites” – they hang in her studio and that’s what I see every day when I’m keeping her company there.
If I tell her you think she’s talented, will that make her head swell up great big?? I want to be the only one with a big head in this house! Tee Hee 😀

The lighthouses always remind me of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. That is where I would want to be, along the coast of Ireland looking out to sea… By the way, did you know the word muir is Gaelic for sea?

Hi Miss Trish……I hope you get to go to Ireland soon because I know you’d love it there. My Dad has said many times that he’d like to live in a whitewashed house with a thatched roof, up on a high cliff overlooking the ocean where he could hear the waves hitting the rocks ALL day long. My Mom says the same only she’d throw in a beautiful garden too! They don’t ask for much do they?!?!?! 😀 😀

My Mom and I both said we would like to sit on that charming front porch. We would love to relax and watch the world going by around us. We would both like to feel the breeze, I would sit on Mom’s lap on a porch screen and she could pet me while she daydreamed or would just be reading a book.
we are also in LOVE with your gorgeous house, Mom is dying to walk barefoot in your grass.
Much Love, Cody & Mom

Hi Cody! Well, honestly, that picture of my yard was taken before all the grass died and turned brown but it occasionally looks like that – just not recently occasionally (hahahahahaha). Anyway, I’m with you – I love that old house with the porch and the rocker with the lake in the distance and my Mom says she’d love to go there for two weeks to WRITE and READ and snuggle with me (funny though she didn’t mention Dad in her little scenario!!!!!).
Have a happy Monday

Wonderful post Pam. I can picture myself in all of those beautiful paintings…especially the one with the covered bridge. Maybe it’s the fall feel of the picture and the fact that the leaves are beginning to change here but I can see myself driving a pair of horses down that road and thru the covered bridge.
