Eeyore, I know what you mean

~ ~ ~
So, the buzz saws continue
but are manageable
with lots of coffee
and now a beer.
Yes, it helps.
 
It's windy today.
I'm at the beach
with Meredith Ann
of course
and Maddy Jean and Jodie Belle.
 
The warms are here
but the wind
it is a blowing.
 
Too much to be on the
back deck so I go in
the front yard and watch
Mr. Boatman work on the front porch.
 
It is sinking.
Yes, down it goes.
He is putting boards under
the posts to make it level.
This place looks nice
but the builder sure must
have known someone
cause it has troubles galore.
 
Anyway, I'm going in and out.
Meredith is on the chair.
I let her out back
but she came right in.
Her furs didn't like the blowy effects.
 
Hope you all are having
a warm non windy Saturday.

Mondays With Meredith Ann

I sit in the sun.
My whiskers get warm.
My furs get tan.
(I'm already a pretty color but I'll take it)
My tail swishing back and forth.
I watch the birds fly.
The leaves swirl in the wind.
Nothing gets past me.
I am the watcher.
The watcher who's attached to the blue leash.
The blue leash that's connected to the baby sitter.
Also known as the shovel.
Where is my Mom ?
Taking photos of me
while I'm being serious here.
Now where was I ..
Oh, the owl sings in my woods.
The black birds yell at the owl.
The man next door
makes lots of noise.
(by next door, I mean
through the woods and over a bit)

I do not think I will sit here all day.
The Mom gets me in after a while.
I take naps.
I dream of what I saw.
I will return.

Blustery Day

Tuesday meowning having coffee in my Eeyore cup.
Listening to the garbage trucks do their business.
Dark and windy out today.
You can hear it swirl louder than the cars.
Jodie Belle is sitting near me.
Big Al is on the chair.
He got the soft blanket today.
Ashton is under the chair.
Riley is on the bird tv scratching post.
Meredith Ann spent the night on the couch.
Jasmine is still napping in the closet on the towels.

I've had trouble with both my computers lately.
They type slow. They run slow.
They stop and get stuck.
Drives a gal crazy and I don't  need any help in that area.

Made a few appointments.
Takes forever to get one made.
They either moved or don't understand the basic questions.
Like have you moved since the last time I was there.
That's kind of an easy one don't you think.
Nope, not for them. I gave up and just listened to them.

Going for a massage this meowning.
That was a task to get an appointment.
Do you do a spa or a massage therapist ?
I went with a local In Spa.
By local, I mean twenty to thirty minutes away.

Living in the woods, I can pick which direction I wish to drive.
Down this way or up that way.
Then it was what kind of massage.
I picked a Swedish sixty minute one.
Hope it helps my shoulder pain.

I've been having a lot of migraines lately.
I think this will help.
At least that's what I'm expecting.
To leave a new old lady.

And, for all two to four of you who read my blog,
Do you massage or spa ?

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.

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.

Mondays With Meredith Ann

Meredith Ann helps fix the dryer
~ ~ ~
This week we had a few days of being able
to go outside and sit amoung the leaves.
The wind and rain arrived on Friday.
(Friday night we repaired the dryer.)
We even got a hail storm.
Saturday the leaves and ice balls were all over my porch.
I haven't been outside in days.
On Mom's list ..
she always has a list of things to do ..
is sweep that porch.
She did that yesterday three times.
Where do all those leaves come from ?
So, I'll just be upstairs dreaming of nicer days.
The Mom will be outside getting my porch ready.

The Wind Blows ...


I'm at my local little grocery store
Walking out and there I see it
Big Red
It's that time of year
You quessed it
The Ringer with the Red barrel
So, I stop and open my wallet
I'm giving her all the change I have
Mind you ... no bills ... just change
The wind blows 
I get hit in the head with the 
Whop
What do you think that means ?


To give or not to give 
That is the question ...
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.
