A little bathroom humor from 2008, for a Friday morning. This is why I like 100% cotton tees.

Oh my cat…..I don’t know what happened, but here I am. Different router was put in, Ian downloaded Word Press, but it did not get installed???? I’m just glad to be here.
Oh, Mindy, my heart goes out to you…hugs, and more hugs. I always enjoyed reading about Black Light, and his antics. It’s hard to loose a four legged friend…they love so unconditionally, and make great lap cats and great lap dogs.
love to all and missed you all….
Prayers to all who lost loved ones in the storms and suffered such losses…

Agreed, loss of a pet can leave a considerable void. Most of us have also been there, Mindy/Indy, though that knowledge doesn’t exactly soothe our feelings.
eMb, can you tell what kind of bird was dissembled in the Decorah “regular” nest? I didn’t think large raptors were mobile enough to catch a smaller bird, but I guess the smaller bird could have been road kill or a victim of old age.
Yay! Debbe is back. Sorry for bad news of different kinds from Lady Mindy and Llee. Glad to not have had other weather related bad news. We are on the road back from a very nice weekend with son, DIL, and some time with her parents and grandparents, all of whom we like very much. We know we are lucky. Also took the dog—a new adventure.
Lately, Dad’s ‘lil Miss Fluff and Puff has been spending a lot of time on his lap…..and that is good therapy for him.
Yeah! Glad you are back. Tell Ian to leave your laptop alone sweetie or you’ll wring his neck like a chicken for Sunday lunch.
Our largest [but not heaviest] owl. Presumably has either eggs or yg. No idea yet.

Losing pets is a downer. I’ve been more attached to 2 of our 3 dogs than to our sev. cats, but it can be hard. Prayers.
c x-p: Raining now, so parent is busy sheltering yg. Is that the remains at edge of nest, about 2/5 in from R frame of view? It’s not a grackle or cardinal or anything else conspicuous, maybe something about size of F robin. Or maybe it’s elsewhere in nest. B. eagles are not particular; scavenged rd. or window kill are always possible. Our noble national bird! Ben Franklin was right. He often was, about things transcendent as well as physical. Best stop.

Peace,

Swee’ tea – that brings back many great memories of summers on my relatives’ Kentucky farms.
Never voicing: That reminds me of one of my lines: You never have to worry about taking back something you never said.
Jackie, Ian always wrung the hen’s neck when they were distressed….me, I’m going to break his tweaking fingers 🙂

these are cute…..
Main laundry jobs remaining is hanging and folding, fluffing some stuff too wrinkled for not doing on time. Last pillow or mattress pad in dryer. I will not invite more in by opening anything sacked up that may be pillows or pads or comforters.
Do that later. Dickens is so confused!
Debbe 😉 Welcome back to The Village, hon. Computers…can’t live with ’em, can’t (or shouldn’t) smash ’em to smithereens with a sledge hammer.
I read that something like 5.2 trillion gallons of rain fell on the state of Missouri over the weekend. Llee probably thinks most of it flowed by her house.
Yay, Debbe!
Posted without comment…because I really can’t think of one.

I took in a white cat here in Eufaula and ended up keeping her. White Trash Cat.
So what’s new about that? Someone had shaved her on large parts of her body! The vet had not, I got her from a rescue group who had her in a temporary hospice situation.
Her hair grew back out but it was perplexing why anyone would do that?
I know, I know, that is so typically Jackie
My daughter named her,.not me.
I just up-dated my owl photo collection – https://flic.kr/s/aHskV3Kjbn – with four pictures taken Friday evening when the whole family was in the big oak next door. Just after Bob took the one of the fledgling and a squirrel, the squirrel attacked the bird! The owlet, which took off of course, didn’t appear to be injured.
Don’t forget, everyone. Saturday, May 6th, is World Naked Gardening Day. See you in the garden…or not.
1 will garden in my walled patio garden off kitchen then Sir. Ghost to celebrate.
Herbs and annuals. No neighbors will be offended.
Wait, is Glen coming back to work on porch this weekend? He is bringing his fiance.along to stay here.

Be careful, Jackie!
Jackie, watch out for drones!
No any gardening if it does not warm up.
38* high, many places around had snow.
I built a walled stone patio off my kitchen and laundry with 9 foot tall walls so I could go sunbathing anytime I wanted to. So far I haven’t and it needs cleaning too from storms and blown in dust but I think I will to officially open the season.
And refurbish the herbs and annuals out there. It looks sad without flowers.
