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 ?

circle the wagons ...


And the cold spell keeps on coming
Each morning, I take my girls ... Maddy Jean & Bella ..
 out back for their meowning walk.
Bella, is on week five of her recovery,
 and still needs to be walked on her leash.
Today, it was a Fabulous 12 .. trying to get to 13.
WHAT ?
Not icy though ... no moisture so it's just cold ...
 crunchy actually.
Moon is out which is very pretty.
Stars are too.
I keep thinking I need to bring
my handy dandy photo shooter with me
Where would I put it ?
I have the flashlight in my pocket.
Bella & Maddy Jean are excited to go out.
My coat won't zip up on command.
When I do get out to the crunchy lawn
The moon & stars look absolutely gorgeous
For that second or two
Then, I'm getting the girls to circle the wagons
and turn back to the porch

Just A Nice Day ...

In the evening known as Sunday, I am looking into the future ...
Monday and the week ahead.
I had a lovely ... isn't that a great word .. day. Mostly by myself.
As most of my days seem to be.
It was warm out for a Fall day. High seventies which is rather nice.
I worked a bit in the yard with the girls .. of course ... coming out with me.
Anytime I left Maddy Jean in the back, to go in the front.
She would bark to let me know that I wasn't .. there ... right when she wanted me to be.
Maddy is a funny dog. She was a Winter puppy and has always had me be out with her.
She still needs me to go outside with her. She turns her head to look at me ... to make sure
that I'm staying. She plays in her den ... a fern hill with toys hidden here and of course there.
I wait til she is usually running with a football or on her back in the dirt.
She'll still look but keep playing. Not today though. She needed me to be with her.
I gave up working on the front yard and went in the back with her.
Bella doesn't really worry if I'm not with her. She knows I'll be back.
Maybe it's a Summer dog versus a Winter one.
Or, that she is more interested in the world around her.
Maddy Jean is kind of stuck in puppyhood.
Bella is the older and wiser sister after all.
It was one of those days where you want to stop the clock.
Not that anything grand or special happened.
It was just a nice day.
How was your Sunday ?
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.
