Life with cats, and other things…
0630/11th April 2021 It wasn't how I intended to start my day. In fact, I hadn't got as far as even thinking about it. My morning routine has to get done first and today, for reasons unknown, I suddenly took notice of a bush that grows at the end of the driveway. Or did. I … Continue reading Downs and ups
Yeti's Kitty Suites, April 2011. Joey, Bridget, Macy Here's a question for cat people: Specifically, it's a question for people who live with gray cats. Over the years, I've lived with several. This little girl was called Mama. She and her kitten Baby Girl were Grant's cats, that eventually came to live with me too. … Continue reading Gray cats?
1824/8th April 2021 When the weather is fine, as it's been recently, in the late afternoon I become glued to the window, watching the changing light. How, I wonder, did I survive so many years, living in suburbia? Two and a half years on, I am still discovering things. Drawn by the luminescence of the … Continue reading ‘bye Winter?
7th April 2021 Squelch! One of the sensations I enjoy as a result of nerve damage, is that when I walk, my right foot always feels that it is in deep mud. So when I stepped in the bird bath this morning, it served to enhance the sensation. My left foot enjoys something different. While … Continue reading Hope
0615/7th April 2021 It's nice having long, light evenings, but some days I could do with less early light. It always wakes me up and it's hard to roll over when there may be something worth seeing outside. This morning I was all prepared to say "nuts" and at least languish a bit longer, if … Continue reading Contrails
6th April 2021 Early clouds that provided a fiery dawn pealed away, leaving us with a clear blue sky from horizon to horizon. A breeze out of the North still provides a slight chill but I'm in no hurry to rush into Summer which will be here soon enough. Mr Sleepy put in an early … Continue reading Faux pas
0631/5th April 2021 Having dealt more swiftly than usual, with the Monday morning emails, I found my brain parked in neutral, and my body a bit too cool. The phone rang and as it was a local number I thought it could be one of my new medical people, but it was a recorded voice … Continue reading Cool
0820/4th April 2021 Children of a confirmed atheist, Peter and I only ever associated Easter with chocolate eggs. And there were those sugar eggs, as well, the ones that had a window at one end, displaying a cute picture of some kind inside. Usually, I think, it was a reason for a family visit that … Continue reading Bunnies
2nd April 2021 It was a busy time at the bird feeders this morning, after I filled them up and emptied ice from the bird baths. They are looking decidedly bashed after all the hammering of the past 3 months! We are still not quite done with cold nights. In fact, it's been trying really … Continue reading Times
1st April 2021 On the way to the village this morning, I made Grant stop so I could catch some shots of water droplets on the trees and bushes, results not being terribly successful although I do like the colours of wet vegetation! Especially the lichens. Today it was Grant's turn to get a Covid … Continue reading All wet
