Selfie Day!
Taking a selfie predates social media, smartphones, and the word itself (which is now in the Oxford Dictionary), the popularity of taking these self-portraits keeps increasing. AND taking them gets easier all the time. I have to admit that Selfie Sunday at the Cat On My Head has been around a long time so we have had a whole bunch of practice! Just look at the one Cinnamon and me took at Lake Louise! Mom took a picture of us while we were taking it so we thought it was PURRFECT for the Selfie Day Badge!
Leave us a comment and we will stop by and see yours!
Summer Solstice
If the sun is shining, she will have at least a half hour sun bath when the sun is at its highest! And if she can, she will make a flower crown! Usually Cinnamon is the one who wears it.
And she makes rock mandalas in the garden
Starting from when Nellie Bellie was still writing Mom painted some rocks with mandalas for furrends. And she thinks she will do more this year (if she has time, a new young dog means that 2 dogs get walked separately so Mom does not get all tangled up, Dolly is still learning how to walk on a leash properly). If she does, I will take some selfies with them!
Speaking of new young dogs, here is a shot of Cinnamon and her new protegee playing Ball with Mom!
Please tell us if you guys do anything special on the solstice!
Keep being AWESOME guys!
happy summer to you all...

ReplyDeleteHow wonderfurs to see you all and read about your own soltice practice. I simply revel in the long evening light and the very early dawn. Who needs sleep anyway?! Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
Loved/loved/loved the very special "selfie" badge ... and your mandala's are so beautiful. Happy, happy to all!
ReplyDeleteMy only plan for the solstice is to go to the dentist. It's not a ritual I want to start.
ReplyDeleteThose are both lovely badges. I hope Dolly is settling in well.
ReplyDeleteTruth be told, I never even heard of or new what Summer Solstice was until I started blogging and people talked about it like it is a holiday. All I know is summer is my least favorite of all seasons and ours did not start today but started in April when we had to turn on the AC for the first time ever and today was so hot when we walked, we were walking so slow it was like we were not moving. last night at 5 pm we were at 102 in the back yard. Hurry winter. and I love short days not long ones. I think being raised in the hot and humid south no one ever wanted to celebrate the beginning of summer. I love the badge and I love seeing Cinnie and Dolly together... I can't imagine trying to train Dolly and have another leash to handle.
ReplyDeleteMarv, this year on Solstice we are just sweatin'. It is 10 degrees above norm and we are not happy indoor campers! Lynn will not let me out in the afternoons. But I go out at 6 AM when it is still dark and watch fur my chipmunk. He always alludes me. The painted rock is purrty. Lynn does that in the winter sum times.
ReplyDeleteHappy Safe Summer, Precious

Java Bean: "Ayyy, you can't go wrong with playing ball! And the solstice means plenty of daytime to do it in, sĂ?"
ReplyDeleteUsually we enjoy being outside on this super long day, but the weather has been too hot to spend time in the yard. We love your selfie!
ReplyDeleteCinny and Dolly what a lovely selfie and very nice to meet you Dolly
ReplyDeleteMarv as always looking most handsome.
All we'll do for summer solistice is stay inside. It is hot hot hot here and the next 5 days even hotter.
Oh we are having homemade apple pie for lunch. My sister in law and Bryan's brother will be here to share at 1 pm..Good way to celebrate solistice I say. Maybe we can make it a tradition
Thank you for all the lovely event badges...just purrfect
Hugs Cecilia
Nice selfie. Beautiful rock mandala. XO
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun post gang and it's nice to see that the two pups enjoy each other. Happy Summer everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteMom didn't do anything special today. Those rocks are pawsome.
ReplyDeleteIt was TOO hot here to do much of anything, esp outside! When I came home from my work after 10pm, there was still a wee bit of light in the western sky...I could see the clouds! And the full moon was up in the east!
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed this post, guys! Keep them up!
ReplyDeletePurrs and Woofs,
The Chans and Ollie
Those badges are super special, and we love the mandala Mom painted on that rock! It was so hot here that we did not do much for the solstice. Oh, we did go to the beach in the early evening, so we guess that's something!
ReplyDeleteWe take great selfies.
ReplyDeleteWe don't do anything special on the solstice, but We do enjoy reading about some of the customs associated with it.
ReplyDeleteWe hope your summer is off to a great start! Lee and. Phod
ReplyDeleteGenerally I just have to work on the solstice, and most other days, too. Anyway, I do hope you are having a wonderful summer!
