Bagged this one

"Lynn,  let me help with the grocery sacks.  I bet I can make a great bed outa these."



"I can't figure out where my cat food is.  Did you already
put it away without me trying a bite or two?"



"I can't even smell cat food!  What's up with that?"

Precious, if I would have folded them, you could
have kept them creased for me to put back on the shelf.




"Peeple,  I got a story to tell on Lynn.  She may be the new
bag lady of the area.  She's been goin' down the road a bit
and bringin' back sacks of walnuts...... TO FEED THE SQUIRRELS!!!
We got us a runt grey mama squirrel with babies born during the
Feb. blizzard.  They live in the owl nest box.  Mama has eaten
up all the walnuts we had and Lynn must keep her fed.  After all
she is feeding homogenized and pasteurized milk to her babies."




Precious, you are right about me getting walnuts.  Our
couple of bushel were all finished off by the time the
heavy snow melted in March.  We had been
watching the girl take leaves up to the box and staying
there during some of the coldest weather.  And she
is definitely nursing.



"Chuck ran by furom his winter home to his summer home.
I tried askin' him when Spring was comin'.  He hollered
out that I should ask the Easter Bunny.  He's tired of
bein' blamed fur bad weather.  Like the 22 F (-5 C) we are
gonna have agin tonight."

Makin' and maybe bakin' da biscuits

 "I've tried a few different recipes.  But they all turn out the same."



"I don't try to make them too often though.
Lynn doesn't want the mess to clean up.
Who'd think I'd make any kind of mess!"

I must say, Precious, you do keep the flour in the
bowl fairly well.  It's the eggs I worry about.


And I think you are needing to do less kneading, as they
may come out a bit tough.

Thursday morning March 19




Last Friday morn,  the 13th, I said this week would be a humdinger.
Well it started on the 13th with 60 to 70 MPH wind that raged
like a locomotive loose on the rails.  By early afternoon trees
were dropping,  utility poles were snapping in two, and
sub stations were going down.  Over 250,000 in Ohio
lost power while the temps were going down into the teens.
We were lucky and only went 30 hours with out heat.
And it has not warmed up yet.  So much for March 20!
How grateful we are to the out of state linemen who
came to our rescue where we live.

Purr-mission granted

 "I let Lynn do things that are not all about me.  Only when I go off fur my morning 6 hour nap, mol.  Eating breakfast takes it right outa me and I gotta git some shut-eye."




In the winter I must find things to do.  Reading is good to a point.
Then my brain can no longer hold anything.
I crochet when the mood strikes.  And this winter I have
been using a book that has 100 small doilies.  
Working up a few.




These are only 3 and 4 inches across.


Who me?





What is she dreaming?

miniature daffodils


We had 5 days of early false Spring.  My daffodils started 
opening.  Then a deluge of rain came and by Wed. night
we were back in the winter temps.  Below
freezing again.
It's gonna be a humdinger next week.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, and she's always gone too long

"Lynn is havin' a sing along agin, and I just want the sunshine. It ain't gone just now."

"Just don't no one make a total eclipse about now."


"But it went away, like she always does fur too long.
And we got rain and dark but no snow!"

Trying to forget the bad and the ugly and see the good.

 "another trip out of my comfurt zone."



"Lynn dragged me off to git my blood sucked agin.
And now I'm dry as straw. I sang the song of my peeple
all the way there.  Cars pulled off'n the side of the road,
like they heard a siren comin'."

"I am 'membering my Valentines Day 
adventures to git over the nightmare."



"I'm dinin' with Rocky the ginger kitty.
And Katie is with Kat.
I had such fun on our ski trip."



"Katie and Kat and I had hot cocoa while
Rocky was skiing down the slopes."




"And lookie at my photo in a fancy frame furom
my BFF Jo Jo in Canada."




"And last of all,  I teleported to BC, Canada to a burfday 
pawty fur Nutmeg, the Nutty dog who lives with Jo Jo."

"The vet tech furom Dr. Feelbad's called and said my T4
was down a skoosh more.  2.5.  Says I don't have to come
back 'til October ifen I keep my nose clean and my paws
and claws outa trouble.  I said I'd come back when
H-E-double L freezes over.  But then I 'membered
this winter has been just like that!"

Warm Up "Cool Hand Luke"

 "Lynn,  ya shoulda shared this secret with hoomans months ago.  Before we turned into Antarctica."



"Maybe some peeples don't know about Hot Hands, and
how they make yer hands hot on a cold day."




Precious you are probably right.  These things work wonders
and I use them all winter long every time I leave home to
go to the store.  If you've not seen them, they are available
in Walmart in the sporting goods section.  Most hardware
stores too.  So inexpensive.  But be warned they do actually
get HOT so you need to keep a layer or 2 of cloth between
it and your skin.  And they do last 6 hours or more.





"Lynn,  I'll just keep my paws indoors 'til catio time."

Photo taken on Valentine's Day.  Still a frozen ice field.




"And luv yerself peeple. Keep warm and don't be fooled by 
March 20th date."

Reading on Friday the 13th

 "Lynn and I thought the 13th was a good day to read together."



"She found this magazine about kitties and how we 
operate. At least hoomans think they know enough to
write stuff about us."



"I know Mudpie and Valkyrie and Millie, Tinslee will like
this one."





"This is about me!  A Maltese! In my grey Onesie!


"And here is about Chili Bruce  and Manny of 
Eastside Cats; Smol Oona; Trouble too.
And we can't furgit Maxwell, Benny and Sable."

"Lynn says she's not sure how they conducted research.
You know hoomans can not speak Meow to learn
the true facts."

Precious,  it is a fun magazine and there were so many other
color of cats mentioned.  I agree,  I can not begin to 
imagine what goes through your mind!
