Thursday In The Woods

I'm having coffee in my Eeyore cup.

Watching a small woodpecker eat from the suet.

A cute brown bird is watching.

Wish I knew what kind it was.

The bird, I know the suet.

Berry or peanut.

 

Meredith Ann is taking a bubble

next to the heater vent.

 

Jodie Belle is in the chair

on the soft blanket

looking at the woodpecker.

 

Maddy Jean is blocking the front door.

She naps a lot but who cares.

She's with us.

Enough said.

 

The rest of the purr gang

are around here somewhere.

Riley was just in the living room

looking at the birds out front.

I have a big area with four suet's

going for his entertainment.

 

Jasmine was upstairs.

She came out and sang to me.

She's a sweet Siamese sometimes.

And, remember the sometimes.

 

Me, I'm staying home today.

Making a list.

Checking it twice.

Have things to do.

 

Been way too busy with my health issues.

Now, to enjoy just regular life.

Like people do.

Oh, that might be fun.

 

The Holidays are coming.

Several boxes have shown up.
 

I went to the post office yesterday.

First time that I'd driven in weeks.

The health thing.
 

Was sort of fun.

Went well.

No problems.

 

Have I done any shopping.

No.

Am I worried about it.

Not really.

 

This year I'm just going to enjoy

the music and the shows

and the fun of it.
 

I might get my family a thing or two

but nothing big like I've done before.

Stocking stuffers perhaps.

 

And, that is the latest

in my very frozen woods.

Thursday In The Woods

This is a view of my side back yard.

It's a bit wild and borders the woods that line my yard.

Doesn't show you the real snow ville

but it does show some of the fallen trees.

There's a big one towards the right corner.

A fir tree that almost hit the fence.

I'm almost melted.

Went in the back yard with the dogs

and there are still piles of it.

I'm sure it will go away soon.

It was a wild week.

My older dog is relieved to have her normal yard back.

My little dog doesn't like the sounds of saws

that have become the new ringing from

almost every yard near us.

Me, I'm ok with being inside for now.

Had a bit of a setback health wise

but am on the mend.

I feel so much better than I did

so, I'm sure I'll be fine.

Does remind me though

that I have tested fate

one more time.

And again, I laugh at it.

Not this time.

Too much to do.

And, with that in mind,

I have made a list of things I need to do.

I'm not quite up to doing them yet

but I will get them done.

For today though,

I will drink my tea

and enjoy my napping puppy.

The cats are all upstairs.

The constant saw noise has them

all on a soft blanket or

napping on the towels in the closet.

Oh, and I got the photos to download

so next Monday I will have those

ever so cute photos of

Miss Meredith Ann.

She is just the cutest big fluff ever.

And, add in that personality of hers.

I was just too lucky that day

that I looked at her window.

She looked back at me and yelled.

Couldn't stop thinking about her.

Went back three times and

on that third time I told myself

that if she was still there

I would take her home.

That was over two years ago.

She's just spoiled like every cat should be.

Fat .. cozy and happy.

So, I hope you aren't snowed in

or watered in as some have become.

May this Winter get just a bit warmer.

I'm so ready for Spring.

Here's to your list

may you get it done.

Sunshine in the Woods

Jasmine Marie helping me in the meowning

It's Thursday already.

How did that happen?

The days are cooler.

More enjoyable.

Been able to work a bit in the yard ... jungle .. during the day.

Been putting the bird feeders up before coffee.

Taking them down before sunset.

Seems to be making cats and humans happy.

No new bear sightings or noises.

I thought my owls had flown the woods.

Heard an evening Hoo Hoo.

Seems that they are still here.

Just not showing themselves to me like they were.

There are little things going on at my place in the woods.

Nothing too big.

Just enough to make an old lady worry a bit.

While I was watering the front yard yesterday,

I thought about how I can't really do anything about them.

I decided not to worry.

Not easy to do but I will try.

Thought of what I need to do for me in this life.

I've had so many years of taking care of my kids.

Mr. Boatman has always been busy with work or his things.

I need to think of what to do with my time.

The yard needs lots of work.

Been trying to do that.

Don't really have the money to pay someone else to do it.

My fingers and feet were giving me trouble.

Scared me just a bit.

Reminded me of a few years ago.

Today they are better.

I'm just going to take things easy.

Even if I don't get lots done.

It's better than not getting anything done ... right.

Cats & Dogs are doing ok.

The heat got to them but they napped through it.

Maddy Jean is limping and I don't know why.

Bella is having trouble hearing but her ears are clean.

Just getting old like me I guess.

And, that is the latest from this old cat lady who lives in the woods.
