Crowded.....
The tulip was up first but the peony is now spreading out and shoving the tulip around a bit.

Teddy's legs are a little short for this big wheel but he still likes sitting on it. These shots were buried in my files and this one... -
Iowa wild rose is the state flower. I keep finding evidence of our hard freeze on different plants as they mature. The freeze messed up...

We thoroughly enjoy browsing through antique stores. I love this cat. I hope someone out there will recognize the mark and tell you more about your purchase.
I looked on ebay at cat figurines hoping to see a similar pottery mark. No luck, but I'll let you know if I see anything similar.
I collected cats for years, I had hundreds of them! When we moved to a smaller house, I sold many of them because I just didn't have the space. I'll check my reference book for the mark.
Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day Sunday.

He is a cutie..I used to have a book that showed all the markings and companies, but I cannot find it!
Nothing wrong with that cat. Actually it has quite a cute look in its eyes.
It looks like a Japanese sunrise symbol. Not sure but that is how it looks. Thanks for the visit to my Japanese blog. I left a comment there in response to your commenting about building things...

Yes, things were being rebuilt. They were planting trees then. And they were building bridges to take place of bombed out ones. But when I got there in 1953, after the war, most of the homes people lived in had been rebuilt and looked pretty much the same while I was there. There was not large buildings being built. They did build the observatory."
It's a very nice cat and there's nothing wrong with a grown man buying it. I looked through my Collectors book but couldn't find that particular mark.
I love browsing antique stores, yards sales and other places where odd items collect. This is the closest I could find to the mark on your ceramic cat: http://marksfinder.com/factories-and-potters/Alberti-Carl-Uhlstadt-Germany/
very sweet...I have quite a few in my collection but none with that mark.
