Thankful Thursday
Cooper Murphy has the main thankful this week. On Easter weekend Cat Scouts held a scavenger hunt/quiz and Cooper Murphy came in second place. As the result, he won a super cool prize. He’s now ready for Summer Camp or the next Jamboree or Quest at Scouts, provided the other members of the Kitties Blue crew let him use his prize.
As we are every day, Kitties Blue and I are thankful for each of you who follow, visit and support us. Without you, we would have given up on this blog years ago.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Our hosts for the Thoroughly Poetic Thursday poetry challenge, Angel Sammy and Teddy, have provided the purrfect inspiration photo for today’s poetry, as today is Earth Day. Here’s the photo followed by my poem.
Earth’s Bounty
Beans, peas, tomatoes and corn—
Fresh and tasty, picked just this morn.
No pesticides or growth hormone,
Just the goodness of being home grown.
Spring and summer are filled with tasty delights.
My mouth waters as I anticipate taking a bite.

Earth Day 2021
World Earth Day is a worldwide awareness celebrated every year on April 22. The reason to celebrate this event is to make people aware of our earth and environment. Though celebrated only one day each year, we should consider every day Earth Day and take measures to protect it.
The first Earth Day sparked the passage in the U.S. of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts, and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency.
And climate change is real. It is impacting our planet and our lives and it is time for action. The urgency has never been greater, and stakes never higher. We face mass extinction of species, catastrophic pollution of oceans, destruction of communities and displacement of millions.
Our tabbies, Periwinkle & Stinky had a terrific adventure of Tuesday. They provided a wealth of information about Earth Day. If you missed their post, click on their graphic to go to Friends Furever and read it.

You are right…every day is Earth Day. Recycle/re-use. No harmful chemicals. Natural pesticides and fertilizers. We are trying, and along with millions of others, we will make a difference!
What a cool prize Cooper Murphy. Now if you can just use it. I’m sure you’ll be able to.

That is the COOLEST tent and Coop – I think you’re going to have a time keeping the rest of your crew from “camping out” ! It’s a great size too – perfect for a king size ginger. Love the poem your Mom did this week for Angel Sammy’s poetry challenge. Those farmer’s markets and roadside stands give everyone a chance to eat REAL FOOD, grown with love and no harmful sprays and chemicals. The way food is MEANT to be eaten!
Hugs, Teddy
That is a cool prize!!
And I loved your poem! How appropriate for Earth day!
That face on Calista Jo! MOL!!! She thinks SHE won that tent.
