Well, that loud, booming day is upon us once again and Quint doesn’t understand why so much noise is necessary. No sir, he doesn’t like it and we’re not too fond of it either.

Quint says: Can’t you tell the loud humans that I’d like to go out for a walk to see the bright flowers?

Flowers are soooooo much better than scary booming sounds, like these petunias here.

Wait! I have to check something out. Nope, no loud noises in there. Flowers are so much more polite than things going BOOM!

Nothing but loud color here either.

Good whiffies and good inspiration for painting! Time to get to work before all that racket begins in earnest!

He’s back to painting, this time using bold paw strokes and hot, summer colors. Go take a peek at his Burst of Summer 2014 paintings. This is a limited run of only six. He’s pretty proud of them.

As for this day of scary, booming sounds, sorry, sweetie. We don’t understand it either. Our town keeps promising no more fireworks but that decision seems to get pushed back farther and farther in favor of sales and profit. So, in a few hours, we’ll join the kitties under our bed where we’ll make a cool fort and reread out loud the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee book by flashlight.
