Meowy Monday

My thoughts exactly !!!

~ ~ ~

Crazy Busy time of year

over here in the woods.

Boxes are arriving.

Will they all get here in time ?

I hope so.

The puppy is growing.

Longer. Taller.

She stills thinks the best thing ever

is a cat screaming as she 

goes over to say hello.

The cats don't really agree.

Lots of me telling her

to leave the cats alone.

Hope your Holiday goes well.

Make that list.

Check it twice.

Going to find out

who was naughty or nice.

Remember To Dance

Even if it's to

Holiday Music.

Blue Eyed Beauty

I thought you all deserved to see this beauty.

No words needed.

Blue eyes.

Gorgeous.

I only hope it has a home.

It's Monday meowning.

The sun has come to play.

The rain is still dripping from the roof.

Weird storms we have here.

You can see them coming from the hills.

They are across the inlet.

A different life here.

Normally, I am in the woods.

Birds singing.

Frogs.

Coyote.

Bears.

Deer.

Here I watch ripples in the water.

Seagulls talking.

Seals.

(If I'm lucky)

An Eagle.

(again if I'm lucky)

I will be here for a while.

I am a traveling old lady.

Living here and there.

I put my things in bags.

I don't need much.

I think it comes from 

my younger days.

Didn't have much.

Didn't know any different.

The cats are fine here.

They are smart.

They are spoiled.

Maddy Jean is ok.

Not great.

Not better.

Just ok.

Meaning, another day.

My heart is the same.

Not great.

Not better.

Just ok.

Meaning, another day.

I start with the hope

that this will be

a good day.

In reality, I'll just enjoy.

Take each moment in.

Dance when I hear the music.

Laugh when I can.

I will enjoy.

Each moment.

Each moment.

Each Moment.

Have a nice day.

Remember to dance.

Mondays

~ * * ~

Don't tell me it's that time again.

Crawling out into the cold.

Wait for me.

Walking those stairs to the dark.

Let me go first.

Turn the lights on.

Who got up this early ?

It's wet out.

When isn't it ?

Coffee .. where are you ?

~ JC ~

Today I write about getting

up so early with my

Dear Jodie Belle.

Meownings With The Girls

It is the wee hours of Monday Meowning.

I'm on my 2nd cup of coffee in my see thru fancy cup.

Etched glass and all.

Did not sleep well. Mr. Boatman snores.

Someone from the East Coast called around 6:30.

Thought I might as well make coffee and visit with the girls.

Each time I come downstairs, the cutest faces in the world greet me.

Wagging those tails and smiling. Yes, they really do.

My cats are waiting by the window for the birds to arrive.

They might already be there but are hidden within the darkness.

I've been thinking about a lot of things.

Yesterday was one of those days too.

I have to get my list for the day done.

I need to get my list for my life done too.

I'll let you know what it is when I do.

Til then, I hope you have a Grand Monday.

I love that word ... GRAND ... just gives such possibilities

Doesn't it ?

Crazy Manic Monday

Monday MEOWning Updates

I had a Marvelous Birthday Celebration at the Ocean.

Got a new Cannon SR10 IS as my Old Lady Birthday Gift

Tried to take a few photos

Do I ever have a lot to learn about photography

My oldest teenager went back to college last night

My youngest teenager goes back to school next week

I think I finally have all of his 'stuff' taken care of at his school

(they goofed his schedule & I had to do emails back & forth)

Mr. Boatman is going away for a week in a few hours

The siding installers are supposed to show up any minute

The Girls ... Maddy Jean & Bella .. refuse to 'to their business' before the group of workers arrive

My Hip is still hurting. I can't bend over without yelling ... and that is so much fun ... kidding

Cats are doing ok. Riley has been sneezing. Someone is leaving me 'gifts' to clean up after breakfast

My email system is not working ... giving me trouble ... saying it needs this or that ...

Thus, it's a Crazy Manic Monday ...

How's your Monday going ?

Monday Mews

The end of the weekend ...

I'm upstairs with some of My Purr Gang

Al is by the fan ... not blowing but he's sitting by it. His mice are near by. One is a yellowish striped one and the other is white with black spots. He won't admit it but he loves his catnip toys. Jasmine is sitting between the laundry and magazine baskets. Hiding she is. Bella is at the foot of the bed ... snoozing like she does. Ashton is sitting in the window feeling the night air. Riley just walked out of the room and down the hall. He's my adventurous one. The four of them ... cats ... had a bit of salmon for a snack. Bella got to clean the can. Maddy Jean is outside. She loves to go out there and bark and watch bugs and listen to the sounds of the woods. If a siren goes off ... we live by two fire stations ... that's even better.

We cleaned the garage. Started to at least. It still has work to be done but we worked on it all Saturday and a bit this afternoon. You can tell that things are cleaner. Paths are clear. Mr. Boatman is a messy person. His Father is too. That's what got me going on the garage. His parents are moving out of their house. You wouldn't believe the mess they have in their garage and basement. His Dad made a statement that got me going ... "they should have cleaned up all their stuff twenty years ago". Now, they are having their children ... who are busy ... do it for them ... at least that's what they would like. Anyway, I decided that Mr. Boatman would not end up like his Dad. He would clean his garage and it would be now.

I've taken a before picture and will take a few after ones, when I think we are done. I don't think I'll get Mr. Boatman to clean everything but I'll keep going til he stops.

Went to the boat with Mr. Boatman this afternoon. It is supposed to rain tomorrow. OK, stop a while and think about that. We haven't had rain in what ... 30 days or so ... might be more than that. That is simply unheard of for my part of the world. We have moss on our fence and front porch .. it rains that much. We have forests called ..The Rain Forest ... now, they need to be renamed ... anyway, the rain it is a coming back to town. (Mr. Boatman needed to put the cover on it ... been off for so long that I had to remind him)

Oh, while I've been typing this .. Riley has joined Ashton and they are making bookends on the window ... both looking out into the darkness ... listening and watching for bugs.

Peace has come back to my world. I think the demons that venture into my DD are gone for now. She seemed to be in a good mood. My son even helped clean the garage ... both days. Please let them stay this way til they move out on their own.

That's my update ... I wish I did more interesting blogs ... I will work on that.

Oh, Maddy Jean is barking to come in ...

Mew At You later,
