"Between Dusk and Dawn", by Rifka Kaplan-Peck. -- a book of #haikus written by someone who is dear to me (i met her in Amherst, 20 years ago).. her work makes me feel like i am sharing my mind with someone whom is walking between 2 worlds, and stating modest, but profound observations. 💜🌾bs"d

I put up a little perch for Percy to watch the kids today (in their go-carts and on their new bikes)... I can see the corner of the blankie in her mouth and can hear he purring from over here, on my recliner 💜😂🌾 bs"d #kittens #cats #Percy

Baby came down from the tower to sleep in the basket... i wonder if my playing Chopin on the laptop has anything to do with this... i would make the computer play Chopin whenever I had to leave her alone in the bedroom, during those first few weeks... 💜🌾 bs"d #kittens #cats #Percy

My eyes are a bit leaky, but that rabbit was about 100 years old (in rabbit years).. she woke up today, ran out of her tunnel, up to Percy who was in front of the big planter by the front door, & then laid down and died; with her kitten licking her face, and playing with her feet..no pain. 💔💔💔🌾 bs"d

This sort of thing usually takes place on Xmas eve, when mommy and daddy have bottomless cups o' coffee -- but i think Percy will forgive me for ruining her surprise. 💜🌾 bs"d #kitten #cats #Percy

Day is too chilly, so no children running around the parking lot -- sad kitty is watching the door of their house (6 small children live there)... at least she has the sun reaching her while she naps. 💜🌾 bs"d

Percy attacking an intruder -- mind you she just spent the past hour showing off for him (i.e. running through the hallway/living room, leaping into the air, climbing the couch and leaping to the ground again) 😂 ... now that Chris has left, i predict that Percy is about to pass out 💜🌾 bs"d

"He" turned out to be a "she"...We are definitely keeping the name of "Percy" (even *Sir* Percival), since she is going to be her father's knight when she joins him, but i decided to change her Hebrew name from "Yosef" to "Bracha" because she is my "blessing" 💜🌾 bs"d #kittens #cats #SirPercival

I just invented a new sleep-alarm, called "kitten attacking face".. it's perfect because it would never wake your spouse -- unless you scream "JEEZUS KRAIST!" too loudly. 💜😑🐈‍⬛🌾 bs"d #kitty #cats

Things done today: 1. Played with Nahi & Bossy and explored more of the bed-lands. 2. Groomed myself 3. Climbed a beached whale and brushed her hair 4. Time for a nap now, because Mame just said "Mame loves you" -- but it sounded like "Mame needs coffee" 💜 bs"d #kitty #cats #Sir-Percival

From certain angles he looks pure black... he turns just a smidge and he shows his grimalkin side.. you catch him from 2 feet away (at time right time of day) and he fades into auburn and you can see his Tabby-mother's stripes... who'd've thought a son of mine would be a shape-shifter 💜👽🌾 bs"d

I found him on Shabbes, behind a planter.. i scooped him up and brought him inside, my neighbor (who is a vet) ran to Walmart and got some kitten formula/bottles for him.. it took a day for him to start peeing (he was so dehydrated).. he is a knight who is now protecting our castle 💜👽🌾 bs"d

I keep seeing reminders that Yiddish is closer to Boarisch than standard German (i.e. "fun der haim" instead of "vom Zuhause"). I wonder if Yiddish speakers sound a bit dated to modern Germans. I've heard of a similar impression given by Ladino, when compared to modern Spanish 💜🌿 bs"d #Yiddish

Yiddish has dialects of its own (naturally).. I was reading the book about Tsingl last night, out loud (clumsily)... one word threw me... it was translated as "whoa!" (Tsingl was talking to his horse), but the Yiddish word was obviously not Germanic or Hebrew.. (cont.) 💜🌿 bs"d
