Ahh, a sunny spot and a good cozy mystery featuring cats who know who did it before the humans do. Saturday was a pretty nice day for March in Michigan. Billie took advantage of the afternoon sun streaming in the west living room window. She's my little glamor puss, but she's not fond of grooming. I must be discreet when I do it. ;)
I listened to a gardening show on the radio yesterday morning. They said as long as the leaves that you used to cover you flower beds in the fall are not frozen to the ground yet you can uncover the emerging plants. It's time for them to get some sun and air circulation. So, I went out with my little hand rake and uncovered my spring garden beds. Oh, they were so cute! Hyacinths, Tulips, and Daffodils. Even some Pansies that had survived the cold winter under their blanket of leaves. My perenial garden in the front of the house wasn't ready yet. There's still a little bit of icy snow and since it's mainly summer blooming plants I figured they still need a little protection. I was a little sore later, but it was worth it to finally do something related to gardening.Today, the sun is hiding and Billie is on my lap. :)
she's purring and I'm wondering if I can get some brushing in before she notices. Wish me luck! Happy Sunday!
These pictures of Cricket and Cody are not exactly in the order of what occurred. They were being nice, well mannered kitties, then Cody decided it would be more fun to play with Cricket than his mouse. She did not feel the same. I took a picture of the staredown before they became a fighting, spitting ball of black fur. I broke it up, don't worry. During the altercation I noticed that Cody doesn't extend his claws. He's truly playing. Cricket; uh, not so much. She extends her claws fully, out to win the battle. She is so high strung! Can cats have anger management issues?
Oh, the bridge for my daughter's physics class held 150 pounds before it broke! That's um, a lot of cats. :)
I have developed a scary suspicion about the dishes. They're breeding! Yup, when they kitchen light goes off their fun begins. To test this theory I will not cook tonight. If there are still more dishes in the sink tomorrow, despite this, (and I know there will be) I will be vindicated.
Okay... I've become a kitty wresting referee and my housework has me paranoid and delusional. I really need to get out more. Oh, I made myself sick on the coffee cake. Hey, it was good! Well, anything with butter and brown sugar and mini chocolate chips must be good. I hope everyone has a nice early spring day!
I feel like Vera the mouse today. My house is like her messy nest and I just don't know where to start. I can't go outside to escape it either. We are having another round of snow and cold. I'm ready to pack up the kitties and go as far south as possible. * -*
At least my daughter's physics project is finally out of the living room! It's a pop cicle stick bridge and to get full points it's supposed to hold 100 pounds. We didn't dare put that much weight on it. It does however hold a 12 pound cat. Cody. ;) He didn't seem impressed. I should have put a trail of Temptations on it for him to follow.
Okay, I've decided where to start; I'll do the dishes because if the kitchen is under control then at least I can function in it. I wish it was warm enough to open the windows. Fresh air just makes everything feel cleaner.c
Now, what would I really rather be doing? Reading blogs,curling up with a kitty and reading, watching Food Network, doing crafts, (well if my fingers weren't so sore and bent right now) Oh, I would also like to make a cinnamon struesel coffee cake and visit a book store. In Fantasy Land I would be outside on a warm sunny day planting Pansies and cutting Tulips for a bouquet.
Apparently though Mother Nature thinks otherwise. I don't know what put her in a foul mood toward Michigan, but I really wish she would get over it! Hope the sun finds you today!
Happy Easter and Happy Spring! Warm and Bright Blessings to Everyone! I feel very Blessed to have made so many kind friends. With much Love,
Lorianna, Billie, Cody and Cricket. (No Cricket didn't put the bitey on the Easter Bunny. She ate too many Temptations and slept all night.) :)
There is a special Happy Place and when we get there we will be with those who wait in Peace and Love for us.
No, this is not my mugshot! Hmmph! I have been implicated in giving Cody a boo boo that resulted in green goo coming out of his head.
These are my excuses:
I was only playing.
I forgot to retract my claws.
His head was in the way.
He started it.
He told me my butt was big.
He ate my Temptations.
I was under the influence of Nip.
Now, I ask you; Are these not all completely valid reasons for a kitty to take a swipe at another kitty? Fortunately, Cody has forgiven me. He is even making his trilling noise, which means he is looking for me and wants to play.
Mama told me that I better not ever give him or Billie another boo boo ever again. She can handle my peeing with her magic pee cleaning solution and she can tolerate shredded magazines, but boo boos are dangerous. As it is I am under Close Supervision when Cody and I play. Momma calls it Probation. Not that I would ever get in serious trouble. I'm too cute and Momma loves me. I'm her Naughty Noodle. I have moved passed this. Cody just has a tiny scab and I'm still snuggling with Momma at night.
I have something important to focus on now. Rumor has it that a giant bunny will be visiting us tonight! I will be waiting... I have heard that the ears are the best place to start with the bitey. Wish me luck! (I hope I won't violate my probation when I go bunny hunting.)
This is Billie's favorite place to sleep when it's very cold. It's our bathroom. Every morning I spread out a towel for her to nap on. Our bathroom is on the small side and the heat register is right behind the pedestal sink. It's the warmest room in the house. I've been tempted to lay down in there!
The weather is as awful as I feared it would be. I am avoiding looking out the windows. We are having chicken and dumpling soup for dinner. I am bad though. I like the dumplings and the carrots and the broth, but I leave the chicken. It's okay, it doesn't go to waste. Cody loves chicken! :)
Happy Friday everyone and Good Friday too. Cricket wants to do a post in her defense regarding the boo boo she gave Cody. We shall see... I hope she has an attorney on retainer. If any of you kitties practice law let her know. I don't think Cody will be pressing assault charges, but you never know! ;)
