Fresh Air does the trick

"Oh my goodness,  I spent 2 1/2 wonderful hours in my catio area!  It was still dark at 5:30 AM  and that's when my eyes see all kinds of critters out there."

"Lynn tried to take pictures of me outside, but

at o'dark thirty and with me wearing my usual

grey onesie,  the film only developed as black."

"And when I finally came in,  I was so tuckered

I lay down on my Christmas silvervine blankie and

sacked out fur an hour."

"I was so tired after even my nap, I finally had to go to my

bed tent fur hours 'til brunch time.  What I don't understand

is how come now Lynn says the weather is not fit fur man

nor beast?  She says it is raining and winding and stuff that

a kitty and her are not going out in."

Thankfully we have not had the snow our northern states have

had,  but it is not warm for more than one day then 3 cold or

wet.  I thought I'd be glad when March was over, but now

April is trying to be trying.

She found the stash

 "Lynn,  what's the idea!  All this yummy treat food in one place and you never let me see!"

"I shoulda jumped in here way sooner."

"Is there more to be found?"

"What else are you hiding furom me?"

"I bet if I can git higher, I'd find more yummy food."

"What have you hid on the other shelves?

I'm not interested in chocolate candy or beer!"

Precious!  Get out of there right now!

This is a shelf of Temptations varieties for 

Precious to take her Apoquel allergy med.

  And you know you can not have all

of that even in one week!  

"So not fair!"

And what do you think her 3rd wish will be?

Spring Sprang Sprung

 "Look Lynn!  Chippie came out fur the Spring! He sprang! He

sprung up!"

"Real live Chippie eating apple."

"I wanna catch him!  Lynn's been feeding him fur me.

He's been gittin' butternut and acorn squash seeds when

she cooks these things.  I don't eat either one.  But a 

roasted chippie fur dinner would be good."

"But wait,  this one is not movin'.

"It's an imposter!"

"How did Angel Seney's Chipmunk

souvenir fool us, Lynn?  I thought yesterday

was Spring and now I'm not sure if that is 

real either."

Spring is a funny season, Precious.  We still

have very cold nights below freezing.  But your

Chippie has come out and has run around quite a bit.

He probably is waiting for your catio fence to be

built soon as it is warm enough.

Our Eastern Blue Birds have nested in the box.

 They had 4 successful nests last year.

They live in our yard year round.  I kept them fed in dry meal worms.

Soon and very soon, I hope, I'll have hundreds of 

miniature daffodils blooming.

Shrine visit

 "Now, Lynn did this trip in the fall.  Not much happening in Jan. and

Feb. and March!  Whata winter fur sleepin' and bird feedin'." 

This Catholic Church is in Carey Ohio,

in the north central part of the state.

www.olcshrine.com

Built in 1875.  The Statue of the Virgin Mary is to the right

of the church alter in it's own alcove.

This is the Bacilica.

The Church has a many acres with the 

Stations of the Cross to walk and many

statues outside.  This path is over one mile long.

It is a very beautiful very old Church with

pipe organ.  It is a magnificent church and a

real pleasure to see in person.  I knew of for

years, but just not had made the effort to go

and visit.

"I had my own pipe organ goin' when she

walked in the door.  My classic tune of

"where's the food" in C minor, fur cat."

Name Change

"Lynn, I protest!  It is not my fault you git sparkled all the time."

"Asides, Sparky is a doggie name, not a kitty name."

"And another thing, you can not call me Pudgy."

I know Precious, even though we get sparked every time

we kiss, you will always be Precious.

And since you have lost more than one pound in

4 days in October, I will not call you Pudgy.

Sweetie Pie, Huny Bunch, Snookems,

Puddin' Cup,

PRECIOUS!

That's your full name and the vet office

does not have room on the "name" line for it.

"I know I am more svelte now as I am only

14.4 pounds!  

Where did it go?  

I do not know."

Our Screech Owl left us a couple pellets in her bird house.

Of course, I wanted to see what she was eating this winter.

We figure it was mostly mice and a few shrews. The 

tiny jaw bones had minute sharp molars.

Hoping she is fine and found a place to nest this

Spring as I have not seen her in a few weeks.

train station

"Lynn misses seeing trains.  They don't have any around our big little city.  So one day a few months ago I was once again abandoned like an unloved orphan. 

She ended up at a city park that has a major crossroads fur trains comin' and goin' north and south and east and west."

And then there was lunch at this very old

dinner that served breakfast and lunch only.

The best meatloaf dinner.

And this mural was on a building catty-corner to the diner.

The control tower is very close by and they

have a speaker for visitors to hear when the

next train is coming thru and what they are 

to do on the track.  It was fun to sit inside the

van and watch,  it was a very brisk weather day.

"The best thing, Lynn had me to come home to and warm

her fingers in my grey onesie."

Delivery by Pack Mule

 "Oh meow me! I gotta gift furom the wonderful Brody, packed and sent by his mom."

"The gift was mailed furom Massachusetts when Brody

had snow.  We had 1/2 inch of kibble size hail covered

by fureezing rain."

"Evidently the postal truck hit ice patch and just slid through Ohio

and landed in Indianapolis. That's 230 miles past me."

"Now the Indy post office nevfur heard of Ohio territory.

Founded in 1783!

So they took days to find us on Dan'l Boones' map.  Then they

loaded the gift on Number Seven,  Mad Jack's mule

furom Grizzly Adams.  They plodded to us finally."

"I hope I am not a heart breaker. Lynn says now

I am a teenager,  she's not sure if I should date."

We counted 20 Monday morning.
