A moth flits its way around the living room landing on a painting by the large window.<\/p>\n
The watercolor includes an old glass bottle\u2014like the ones Coca-Cola makes\u2014<\/p>\n
which sits on a brown table with a wooden cooking spoon, and there is a tall white candle in a silver holder.<\/p>\n
The painting was done by one of my favorite local artist’s, a real character who I enjoy chatting with.<\/p>\n
This small moth has chosen to rest right at the top of the candle\u2014near the wick.<\/p>\n
“Ha! lucky for the moth, the candle is not lit” I think.<\/p>\n
Just then, our black cat leaps onto the back of my recliner, and in full extension with her left paw<\/p>\n
plucks the moth off the candle, and gobbles it down in one swallow.<\/p>\n
I get up, walk over and straighten out the painting,<\/p>\n
careful not to disturb our black cat licking her chops.<\/p>\n
