Cute Cat Friday


"If you, like me, 

were made of fur, 

and the sun warmed you, like me, 

you'd purr."

Catting Around

 
 
~ ~ ~
Another day without being able to do my own photos.
I took this one from Pinterest.
 
It's Friday but seems like a Wednesday.
The week was weird for me
due to the extra day Holiday.
And, yes, I always capitalize Holiday.
I like the word.
It's meaning.
The potential of it.
 
My woods have been quiet.
A few birds visiting
but not too much other than that.
 
I see the Spring arriving though.
A few bulbs are trying.
Which is hard in my woods
due to the squirrels, deer, bear,
 raccoons and coyotes.
(I haven't seen the last three
in a while but they're out there)
 
I don't blog often.
Doing this and that
and keeping busy.
 
Not being able to post
my own photos
is a bummer.
I think do I really want
to put the time into it.
Still working on the fix
for this old computer.
Each day it's recover a bit
of what it lost but more
is waiting to be retrieved
from the vapors of disc ville.
 
This weekend, I have a list
a mile long of things
I need to get done.
 
The Purr and Fur Gang
have been napping
and helping me.
Not much else to do
until the warmer days
decide to arrive.
 
We are waiting
and looking out the windows.
Hoping it makes an
early dance down our
long driveway.
 
And, that's about it
from the woods
on this sort of
chilly Friday.

Dark and Cold


I sit here in the dark.
Been up for hours.
Jodie and Maddy woke up early.
I've had coffee and checked things.
Just now getting a bit light out.
Been a dark and windy morning so far.
Was thinking that the holidays are over.
The outdoor lights will come down.
Been too cold and wet to do them.
A few colors on the plants 
lining the sort of long driveway.
This month is cold.
An in between one.
I look toward the next.
Knowing that the warmth
will arrive after that.
I'm just not a cold lover.
I like the light.
Be it from the sun
or holiday lights.

Enjoy your weekend.

Friday From The Beach

Ashton enjoying the chair.

~ ~ ~
I was going to show you a photo of me
at the Ocean 
from last weekend.
Only I'm at the beach place
and my photos are back home.
Not here at this puter.
Sad face.

Anyway, I'll show you next time.

On the bird nest front,
Mama bird is still sitting.
No action yet.
My view from the deck.
~ ~ ~
I am a bit worried though.
On another blog, they have a nest on their porch.
Just like I do.
A baby has fallen out twice now.
Not good when I have four cats
and two dogs who go out on the deck.
(Baby cat Riley, is the only one who doesn't get to go out)
He has managed to find a way to get off the deck.
The other four haven't.
Smart or what.
They get to go out, he doesn't.
(on the main floor but second due to a basement)

Hope you all have a fun weekend.
The rain has gone and the warms are here.
Supposed to be in the 90's next week.
That is hot for us.

Mew and Woof,
JC

Friday In Coneville

Maddy Jean does the cone well.
She feels well enough to go outside
and play with Jodie Belle
(Jodie was moving which she normally is)
while being watched of course.

Still on pain meds.
Did have a stitch blow but we think it will mend.
If it gets worse, we'll go get it fixed.

That's the latest ...
(no results yet)

Napping On A Friday Afternoon

The wind blew in.
Trees rustling around.
Noisy buggers they are.
Thought I better check on those two wild ones.
Golden furs playing in their yard.
Ok, one is Golden, the other beige and white.
The day is sunny in spots.
Meaning if you stand in it you feel it.
If you don't, you feel something else.
Was supposed to get my furs done.
Not today.
Sad am I.
Needed to have them fixed quite a bit.
That darn sun causes migraines.
Wouldn't that be an interesting mix of furs.
Oh, well next week perhaps.
(My furs specialist not me for a change)
My two have come inside.
Not due to the wind but being tired.
They ran and chewed and rolled around.
Funny how when you have plans for the day
and suddenly that changes that you think
wow now what.
I think the sunny day reminds me of Spring.
Of days that are coming.
Days that I so enjoy.
Only when those days do come,
I hope my furs are done.

~ JC ~

My thoughts on this Friday afternoon
after my hair stylist called to cancel
due to a migraine. I'm usually the one
who gets those but not today. And, I
really needed to get my roots and length
done. Have things to do this weekend.
Maybe I'll be wearing a hat and I'm not
a hat lady.

What's On Your List


Riley shows off his stripes
It's Friday !!!
Seems like it was a long week.
Mostly due to me being sick.
Yuck !!!
Hate feeling like an old sick cat lady.
Today, I actually think I'll get something on my list done.
Yeah !!!
Not really but there's always a lot that I have to check off.
If I don't get these things done, who will .. no one.
So, I've already done a few of them.
Got up around five thirty.
Nothing like having coffee in the dark.
The dogs have been in and out and in and out.
Mostly due to me getting them in from the frozen deck.
If the water bowl is total ice,
I don't really think they should stay out there
like it's sunny and warm.
I told them if the sun comes out
that I would let them stay til they bark to come in.
(the sun is supposed to come out sometime today)
Anyway, it's Friday !!!
Do I have plans for the weekend.
Not really.
That list is always long.
There's a puppy chewing on me as I type this.
How did that happen ?
She barked and I got her inside.
Her older sister who was sitting out on the deck
wanted to stay but I told her no.
So, thus the in and out goes on.
Maybe they'll take a puppy nap.
Do I get to take one too ?
By the way, with my coffee this meowning
I had a lovely buzz saw migraine join in.
Those are just no fun.
I think I will get another cup of coffee.
For the Holidays, I got a Keurig machine.
Been having fun trying out this and that flavors
and I also use my old coffees.
Got one of the filters with it too.
And, that is my story for this Friday.
What are you up to and do you have any plans ?

Fall In The Northwest

It's rainy
It's wet
It's yucky out
It's Fall in the Northwest

Meredith Ann and I are at the beach place
She loves it here
Lots of room to run and nap
Two of her favorite things
Really, she does like to run around the halls
Especially likes to sing in the bathroom
I think it's the echo effect
and that she likes to hear her own voice

Maddy Jean likes it here too
Running around the yard
Barking at the Seagulls

Jasmine decided to come with
Which means, I got her before she hid under the bed
She's been singing too

I'm going to spend a quiet weekend
Drinking tea
And, reading my book.
I leave one here just for that.

Saw one new dog on petfinder
that might fit in with our crazy home
It's out here by the beach area
I might call them

And, that is my update on this
very wet Friday

What the ...


Lavender from my front yard

It's Friday !!!!!

Been a very odd week.
Weird, odd, quirky things keep happening.
Another one this morning that just makes my head go
WHAT THE ...

Life just throws stuff at us
It's how we handle it that matters
I know that
Only can I have a few hours
To just complain
Enough is enough
Didn't I say that yesterday
Well, I'm going to say it again

ENOUGH ...

OK, now that that's settled

I wish you all a Marvelous Friday
And, have FUN this Weekend !!!

Crazy

Riley Andrew
He is on the mend
Feeling better each day

Al & Ashton
Hanging out together
on the old den couch

It's Friday
Sunny out
At least it looks like it will be nice
Yesterday was a crazy day
Lots of weird things happened
Where you shake your head
and go WHAT
And you go over it again
in your head
and still go WHAT

I think it will be a busy weekend
I just need some
peace & quiet

Sometimes my life gets
CRAZY
And my old coma brain
gets tired
Today I plan on being
quiet
well, as much as I can
with five cats & two dogs

What are your plans
for the
weekend ?
There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all of the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
