silence of the iambs

21 June 2018 - After yesterday's brilliance, today has been a quiet after-thought.  Neither I nor my peeps mind a slow day at the lake, in fact we each get jangled if there is too much activity, too much noise.  So don't surmise that we didn't appreciate the opportunity to reflect, in fact be able to hear ourselves think.  One might hope that something singled out with an auspicious name, summer solstice, would warrant fanfare.  But as we make our way around the sun, our planetary home progresses noiselessly through the void.

20 June 2018 - Wow!  The sun was up very early this morning.  No wonder I need all these extra naps:  the night is short!  I can make myself at home almost anywhere that is quiet and comfy.  The back of the sofa is a favorite spot on which to stretch out, as it allows me to look clandestinely over my peeps' shoulders.  So far their reading choices haven't caught my interest (not enough pictures and no Garfield strips), but I am always curious as to what holds their attention.

19 June 2018 - Dreams can be pleasant, disorienting, tiring, even frightening.  The smaller peep tells me that I dream.  I don't know if I do or don't, but a leg twitch sometimes awakens me from slumber.  On these occasions she would remark that I was on the hunt, pursuing my prey.  I suppose that could be the explanation for a sudden muscle spasm... and it isn't so ridiculous to be dismissed without further thought.  I know my peeps definitely have twilight experiences, as I have heard them mutter while deep in repose.  But my lips are sealed.

18 June 2018 - After the chaos of an on-site bridge marathon, the fact that today is muted suits me just fine.  The morning pastels, the post-weekend quiet, the beep chatter, all help me relax after a stressful Sunday.  I am not advocating that my peeps live as hermits, but would appreciate their selection of a quieter bunch of friends.  I am a good example of thoughtful roommate:  I never bring home the odd acquaintance... though truthfully it is mostly because I can only tolerate his company for short spurts.  No, I keep my own counsel (and haven't yet needed to raise my voice).

17 June 2018 - My backdrop is well lit, and I have already seized the day (my peeps will attest that I have been out, and in, the door many times).  Such an energetic seize was it, that I am taking a much-deserved siesta.  These naps are indulged in wherever the afternoon heat must be escaped.  That is not our problem here, but in a show of solidarity I join my tropical brothers in a moment of quiet.

16 June 2018 - If you've known me for very long, you are aware that I prefer to drink from the source... something about old water in a seldom-washed bowl doesn't appeal to me.  Back in Florida I have to make due with faucet taps and the occasional rain puddle.  But here I have a vast sink, with perpetually flowing water, that I can dip into at will.  Certainly after some kibble indulgence, I need to cleanse my palate.  As long as weather permits (and lately it has been a challenge), I amble down to the shore to wet my throat.

15 June 2018 - I am doing a celebratory catwalk in honor of sunshine... which has at long last returned.  The song lyric about not realizing what you have until it is gone, is so spot-on.  I am quite wretched when the skies are indifferently gray and sullen.  What would I do in earth's cloudier regions, such as the Faroe Islands and Iceland?  Just mentioning the latter place gives me shivers and chills my mind.  Pardon me while I sunbathe.
