...lap it up...

This morning, in my kitchen, coffee brewing, I looked out our window to steal a glimpse of the neighbors bursting garden, and I spied Mama cat on her side with her three kittens drinking. The almost all black one finished first, and bounded away to hide underneath the squash plants. After awhile, Mama decided the other two had enough...the grey and white one kept trying at it. Soon they were all wrestling, while the Ma daintily perched on a bucket type thing to help herself to a drink of water. It was beautiful.
