Happy Deepavali or Diwali to all my Hindu readers! And to those non Hindus celebrating together with their Hindu buddies and relatives ..... have a blast!!! I can hear the fireworks going non-stop since yesterday, even in the rain! The cloudy skies can't beat the spirit of the festival of lights. (My cat's under my blanket ... poor baby).
My kitten, Ranger is a little terror, he is not afraid of anything, but my doggie, Ruby is will jump up on my lap and grumble each time she heard the fire works. Deepavali is over so now we look forward to Thanks giving:D
ReplyDeleteQPC: Ranger is so cute! I'd love to see a recent photo of him. He must be grown quite a bit by now. Yeah, I would think dogs are the ones more afraid of the fireworks but my baby is a chicken disguised as a cat. :D
ReplyDeleteI saw this incredible photo of India from above yesterday... pretty incredible! Happy Diwali to anyone celebrating it!
ReplyDeleteOh my!! That's so beautiful! They don't call it the festival of lights for nothing. :D
ReplyDeleteAw, your poor kitty. My cat doesn't like thunder storms. Not sure what he would do with a constant barrage of fireworks.
ReplyDeleteWow, love the photo Charles shared! Ping, the povitica would be a piece of cake for you! You are my idol when it comes to spectacular breads~
ReplyDeleteKristen: Funny how it doesn't affect some cats tho. My other cat (rest his soul) wasn't afraid at all of anything ... maybe just his mommy :D
ReplyDeleteLizzy: Yeah, wasn't that awesome! You have great faith in me, Lizzy, and you've made my day.Thank you. I'd better practise a few times before presenting it then. :D Still trying to figure out the folds. The video seem to have folded it differently from the diagram .. more like an "S" shape. You did a great job on it ... sooo beautiful!
Fireworks! I am envious!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it and have a great one! :)

Hi Veronika. I'm enjoying the noise, pops and bangs, raining here each evening! :D
ReplyDeleteHi Ping-We have rain and heavy winds here every day, for the last 10 days now! This is the remnant of what we were going to have...hurricane Rina, that did not directly hit us, just leaving us with lots of rain. As strange as it may seem, we still see sunshine just about every day, even if it's for a short time, and then the heavy rain comes.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and happy festival, is Diwali!
A real celebration of lights!
My daughter will be coming over every day to take care of the 2 kitties, and to make sure they have food and water, even though it's not the same when I'm here; but they will be all right. Thanks for your sweet comments, and concern, Ping!
Hugs,
Same here, Elisabeth, thunderstorms daily. Think we're getting whatever's hitting Thailand ... so sad for them and the pics I received of the animals ... heartbreaking. I'm glad your kitties will be well taken care of altho I'm sure they'll be missing all the hugs and cuddles from you. Have a great time at the festival! Hug back!
ReplyDeleteOur old dog used to go crazy with fireworks. One of our 3 cats dislikes them greatly. The other two cope okay. We have some neighbours who set them off multiple times over the summer. One day I'd like to sneak in their room while they are asleep and set one off near the bed and see how they cope. Of course I'd get arrested but it might be worth it.
ReplyDeleteHey Kim. Hahaha ... you kill me! even without the fireworks! I wouldn't be surprised if one day I read it in the world news about some lunatic blogger putting a whole family into the hospital for fireworks burns!
ReplyDeleteAww.. such a cute cat of yours. What's his/her name?
ReplyDeleteAmanda
Hi Amanda. His name's Oreo. That's not him on my sidebar. That one's Igor (don't ask me why I named him that, I just like the name, Eeeegorrr.) Igor's a stray who visits Oreo to chat sometimes.
