tiny olive
with green eyes of two different colors
just six pounds never to grow any bigger
came into my life
quite unexpectedly
found in the caboose of a train
a teenage mother
rescued by kind humans
and
soon to move
into to my home and family
with patience and time and space
in the little cottage
olive the cat not the oil
so sweet and playful
met
glenn frey the cat not the rocker
so reserved and timid
and they soon found a way
to peacefully co-exist
watching the world go by together.

Is the sign in the yard a reminder for them? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we ALL could learn to pout aside our differences and work together? Have a wonderful day. When is Spring Break for you and your kiddos?

the sign certainly could have been for them. it is a ‘hate has no home here’ – all are welcome, peacefully coexist sign. they must have read it.

no, she was found with her kittens and they all have found homes. i loved the old fashioned name, and she will always stay tiny, like a little olive. my grandson gave her the middle name of athena, the goddess of olives, so her name is really full of meaning. i think she and glenn will be great friends.
