Run for the Roses #CaturdayArt

Meows from Mudpie, and Happy Derby Day!

Do you plan to watch the Kentucky Derby today? We will be even though Mommy watches horse races with one eye closed. She says NASCAR is her sport of choice because when the drivers crash they aren't destroyed like the poor horses are when they fall. She loves the Triple Crown races though - they're really all she watches - and she's so thankful she's now gotten to see two Triple Crowns in her lifetime. We hope it happens again, but more than anything we just pray for a safe race each year. The horses' lives are more important than any trophy. We don't usually choose a favorite but we'll be rooting for Render Judgment, Toby Keith's horse.

For my Caturday Art project this week I decided to wrap myself in a garland of roses just like the winning horse will receive.

And now our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!

1. I write with my right hand.

2. My plans for the month of May include attending a foster kitten seminar and planting my veggie garden.

3. I wonder if anyone else is as uninterested in today's so-called "celebrities" as I am?

4. Christmas in July and the arrival of Halloween decor in the stores is what I like most about summer.

You look lovely in your garland of roses, Mudpie. I hope all the horses complete the Derby safely.

Mudpie you pick the perfect roses to surround yourself with. You look simply divine. Which means that you would be able to attend the Hat Society at the Kentucky Downs race track. I grew up at Louisville Kentucky so I know about the races but I don't keep track of them anymore. Your mommy's feelings are good ones. I don't follow any celebrities because one way or the other it seems like they get themselves into trouble

The frame of roses is so pretty, Mudpie. We worry for the horses' safety too, especially with all the mud and rain expected today. We hope they are all OK.

That's very pretty art, Mudpie. And we agree about #3, too.

I am always concerned about horses racing, it's very dangerous.

There's almost zero interest in celebrities around here.

Celebrity life-styles...not interested either!

Beautiful art. I know how you feel about the horse races. We didn't get to see it because a storm knocked out our power. I think it is so cool that you are training to help kittens. XO

Mudpie, you are a Rose surrounded by roses.
No, We aren't interested in so-called "celebrities" either - unless they happen to have four legs, whiskers and a tail, and know how to purr (mol).
