Mondays With Meredith Ann

This is what I do.
Relax on the soft blanket.
Other than that,
I sit by the sitter vent.
It blows my furs.
I look out the window.
It's cold out there.
I'll stay in here with Mom.
I watch bird TV with her.
She tells me that it's too cold.
That the warms will come soon.
Til then, I sit on my blanket.
Paws crossed of course.
I'm a Princess.

Til Next Week,
Or when the frozen stuff is gone,
This is,

Thoughts On A Rainy Day


Big Al When It Was Sunny
It's a cold wet Wednesday.
Yucky, don't want to go outside in it kind of day.
Fall has really arrived.
Big Al has been upstairs on the soft blanket.
He comes down to visit in the meowning
but goes to take his cozy naps on his blanket.
I know, it belongs to the cats.
He and Ashton blend in so well
(it's dark brown and very fuzzy)
that I sometimes don't see them.
Two boys will look up at me
when I walk into the room.
I just say, Hello Boys
How's your day going.
They blink there eyes and ask for pets.

I've been busy looking for a new friend for Maddy Jean.
Was trying to find a rescue dog.
One that was older and liked cats and dogs.
It's really hard to find someone that fits
into what I need for my home.
I did apply for three and
someone else adopted them before I could.
So, now I'm looking at getting a collie puppy.
I know, it's not a rescue, I know.
I had collies as a child.
My first dog was named Chrissy Collie.
After that we had Lovely Lady and Shadow.

All I know is I need a friend for Maddy Jean.
I need another fur ball to wiggle and brings me toys.
If I find a rescue, then great.
If not, than I will get a collie.
Maybe I could get both.

That is my update on this rainy day.

How Did You Sleep ?

Hanging Out With Jasmine Marie

This is a quiet meowning.
The rain arrived during the night.
Left a moistness that took away
 my lovely sort of warm sun.
(It was warm as long as you stood in it)
It was so nice to have the last few days.
Like Spring really was thinking about
settling in and visiting.
I told the Purr & Fur Gang that
there was hope that Spring
had finally arrived.
Even though it has officially started,
it seems to have been delayed
along its way to my parts of the world.
Not to worry though,
just the idea that it's coming
is enough to bring the spirits around here up.
(Think naps in a sunny spot, birds flying by the windows)
~~~
Last night, Mr. Boatman was snoring.
 I gave up and ventured into the closet
where the soft Winter blankets live.
 I settled in with my pillow,
the soft blanket and two of my cats.
 Was thinking, now I can sleep.
Was drifting off when ...

What did I hear from the slight opening in the window ?
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo
That happened every other minute.
I listened for a while and
decided I had to get up and close that crack.
Just when I was snug as an old lady 
in a soft kitty cat blanket.

What this tells me is that the owl is still in my woods.
Only how do they survive when they sing all night long ?
Now, to get into that back yard and find it.
Course it won't be today but at least I know
 I have another photo adventure
in the wild back woods
scheduled for this Spring and Summer.

How did you sleep last night ?

( I moved to the beach place and unpacked a lot of my boxes.
Came back to my woods for a couple weeks.
Will be going back and forth depending on what's going on.
The Purr Gang love the beach place.
More room and they can go out on the deck.
They are getting used to car rides.
As used to them as they can.
I guess I'm a bit of a traveler now.
Having two places that I call home.)

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.
