National Selfie Day and The Summer Solstice!

 

 

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

 The Summer Solstice has been celebrated by Peeps for thousands and thousands of years and this year (as we do every year), Mom will celebrate the longest day of the year by taking a walk barefoot in the morning dew --it actually is a May Day ritual, but quite often in the mountains where we live, its too cold! So mom does it on the 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!
