bridal wreath

Bridal Wreath Spirea - it grew on our front lawn. We used to pick it and make wreathes for our heads and then one for the cat. Then we would dress her up and have a cat wedding. She was amazingly tolerant for a few minutes. The groom, a black tom in the neighbourhood whom she particularly favoured, never turned up for these events. While good with children, she took on most dogs. They removed themselves, howling, while she sauntered off. When her black gentleman came and sang at the window, she would leave in his company, and return in the morning somewhat the worse for wear. We loved the kittens.

Unrelated, here is a lovely video that was on Susan's blog, 29 Black Street
