`Tigger~

There is a picture of the newest outside
kittie, I call her Tigger. I think its a female
but I'm not sure, as soon as she sees me
she runs, she is still very afraid of me..
This will pass in time, when she knows
I'm a friend and not out to hurt her.
You can see between the black areas on
her, above her hind leg, the round open
bloody spot. I still think its from a shot,
either a 22 or maybe a bb gun. Sure is
sad. Shes very thin too. Maybe once she
realizes I keep food outside all the time
she will gain some weight. 3 of my favorite
kitties showed up besides Tigger, Fuzz
and of course Graybelle and Dinky. Dinky
is only slightly limping which I'm glad to see.
Hes getting better...
Steve was outside with his new puppy. She
is so cute, named Bailey. Its part boxer and
Heinz 57. Hes trying to potty train her and
she did good. His other two, black labs like
her. She was having such a good time out
in the yard. I wish I could have a dog. I
miss not having one, they love you so good.
Nothing in the world loves you like a dog.
Even cats. I know my boys love me but a
dog really shows you they do..Id love to
have a German shepherd. I think they
are one of the most beautiful..Then my
2nd choice would be a black lab. I had
one at one time, his name was Black
Dog.. I'm not the best at naming pets:-)
Carl cut my grass yesterday evening
and it just looks so pretty outside. I
love this yard. I wish I had my deck
so I could get out there and sit. I'm
still waiting to hear from Donnie, Ive
not heard from him since last Saturday
and he said he and his partner are
having a disagreement. When they
patch it up he said they would work on
my deck. Penny is gonna look for some
morning glory plants, they look so nice
growing up the hummer feeder post. I
don't know when the hummers will be
back..maybe next month. Its still kinda
cool and by next month it should be
warmer.. I did get a nice photo of 2
blue jays though.
Well its lunch time and I'm hungry. I
don't know what I'm gonna make.. I
might make a pasty. That sounds so
good, only thing is its a lot of work to
do the potatoes and onions.The way
my arms feel I don't think I can do it.
I should have had Penny prepare the
potatoes for me.. Monday we are gonna
make some saffron bread.
I had Penny pick up some saffron for me.
Its .06 ounces and it cost over 15.00. I
know its the most expensive spice in the
world but I wasn't prepared for that much.
To me its worth it since I enjoy it so much,
but its too expensive to indulge myself too
often :-)

Food time, post time and to remind you I
am still a most GORGEOUS WEEBLE,
Keep well and God Bless...

Always, Lois ****

~Great Wedding~

Orangy in the cathouse..

Its a beautiful warm sunny day today. I
got up at 5:30 to watch the royal wedding.
I hope their marriage lasts forever. It was
nice to see, I enjoyed it and was so surprised
at the normalcy of Catherines dress and
flowers. She is so pretty. Such a big difference
between the wedding of Diana and Charles.
You can see these 2 are in love, but after 8
years of getting to know each other they
should be friends as well as mates. I hope
its a long marriage.
Graybelle has a boyfriend that I call Orangy.
Hes got an injured hind leg and doesn't put
any weight on it.. Some one is abusing these
cats.. Tigger came up to eat and she has a
hole on her back side that is bloody, about
as big around as a dime, to me it looks like
a gunshot. I would love to find out who is
abusing these cats. Dinky is limping as well,
his hind leg is hurt. A cat fight would not
cause these injuries to these cats. I don't
know what to do about it. I may call a friend
of mine that is with ARF. She may have an
idea of how to protect them.
Peonies growin

Orangy went up to the cathouse and went
inside. As he came out Graybelle was
waiting and mad as a hornet. She went
inside and Orangy went up as if he was
gonna go inside with her. She slapped the
daylights out of him. She is such a lovey
cat but is so mean to other cats. She came
up to the door and I had it open a crack,
enough for Dutch to see her.. He growled
and slapped at her 3 times. So.. that tells
me I cannot let her in. I would have a cat
fight on my hands and I have enough with
LB and Dutch fighting, I don't need a 3rd
cat to add to it... I wish I could let her in
shes so sweet, but only to people..She
loves Penny and crawls right up in her
lap..

Pennys baby kitties are cute as can be.
She says the mom is so sweet she even
lets Sassy in the box to help take care of
the babies. Sassy is a sweet cat, I knew
that when she was here that day. She was
such a good kittie and I knew she would be
a great kid. Penny says she follows her
around like Dutch does me.. Dutch follows
me around like a dog.. Where ever I am
So is he.. Hes not too friendly with other
people, even Penny, he bites her every
chance he gets.. I warn everyone that
comes here to be on guard, he will seem
to be so nice and acts like he wants to
be petted..not so.. he will bite, and if
that doesn't work he will slap, claws out.
My kids are such brats, but I sure enjoy
them.

Well I'm gonna go sit in my doorway and
watch my peonies grow. They are doing so
good.. Plus I watch the little bird, hes out
there on the birdhouse right now. I love my
yard. :-)

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I
shall return.. in the meantime, keep well
and God Bless... :-)

PS,,, Mary, so glad you are back online!
Your great comments are missed when
you arent here..:-) You are a good friend.

~The Boys Girlfriends~

Draggin MeowMeow
Both of my cats have girl friends that
they make love to, to put it nicely. :-)
When LittleBoy was small he was such
a whiney cat, very vocal and just wanted
to be held constantly. When I was in the
hell home I think my sister gave me the
stuffed cat I named MeowMeow. When
I got tired of LB being in my lap I would
put him on that stuffed cat and he would
go right to sleep. She was a good baby
sitter :-)
LB's Diddlin MeowMeow :-)

As he got older he started dragging this
cat around. He treated her as if she was
a real cat and he took good care of her.
Many times I would find her by his food
dish or by the litter box and he would
even put her up on my bed, he still does
that to this day.. In fact I woke up just
the other day to this stuffed cat laying
right next to me ! I was not impressed
at all.. He carries her around all over
and there is no telling where he will
put her. The whole time he is carrying
her he meows just awful..Then he
stops and gets on top of this cat and
does his business and off he goes!
Many times hes done this when I have
company and totally embarrasses me.
MeowMeow

Dutch has a white kittie that is named
Sybil. She is a really pretty stuffed cat
and I got her when I was in the hell home
too. Donnies ex gave her to me. You
have to almost look twice at her she
looks so real.. Dutch only once in a
great while will make love to her, but
he does like to sleep on her. Specially
when hes really whiney. I gave her to
him when he was just tiny too.. Shut
both of these cats up.. like a baby with
a pacifier. We never touch these cats,
if we have to move them out of the way
Penny and I both know to only touch
the tip of the tail... :-)
Sybil.. Dutch's friend

I was watching the little sparrow, he is
on the roof of both birdhouses and doesn't
go off unless its just to fly down to eat. Ive
watched him for hours.. Yesterday he was
picking up stuff and putting it inside, for a
nest I'm guessing. He was so busy doing
this, it was most interesting to watch him.
The bird and his nest stuff.. :-)

Penny is here and got us all clean, we are
having another rainy day. There were some
very serious storms and tornados north of
us last night. I turned on the local channel
and all I saw was "Tornado Warning, Take
Cover Immediately".. Scared me, but out
side it was clear. I don't have a basement
and the safest place for us would be in my
closet. My biggest fear is for the boys. I
keep the cat carrier in the laundry room. I
think I might put it in the closet just to give
them a safe place. My bathroom has a
window so that wouldn't be good and plus
I cant get into the tub, so my closet I think
is the safest place for us. I hope I never
have to find out..

Time for lunch, what, I have no idea..I
will find something..Penny made some
spaghetti sauce with meatballs and I
may have that, I dunno.. I know I'm tired
I didn't sleep good last night at all..
BUT, I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE
that never changes ;-) Keep well and
God Bless !

~Buggy Spring~

Graybelle loves her house

You can tell its spring by the ants
and fly's and bugs already. Plus the
buds on the trees. I have these black
kinda big black ants. I bet yesterday
between Penny and I we killed at
least 10 of them. I hate bugs of any
kind.
Graybell and Earie

I was laying on my bed last evening
and noticed Dutch kept staring at the
ceiling, so of course I looked to see
what he was looking at.. There was
a spider crawling across it by the smoke
detector. Dutch was going nuts trying
to figure out a way to get to it... If there
is any kind of crawly thing, Dutch goes
insane trying to get it.. LB he doesn't
care unless it gets on him..THEN he
will panick cuz he knows Dutch is gonna
slap him to get to the bug.


I have a wardrobe in my bedroom that
happens to be right under the smoke
detector and if Dutch climbs on the back
of my chair he can jump up to the top of
it, and of course that's just what he did.
I was worried he was going to lose his
balance the way he kept leaning and
trying to slap at the spider. The spider
must have seen him and it crawled to
the center of the ceiling right over ME!
I was NOT happy!

I don't have anything that I can use to
reach the ceiling, not even a broom,
I'm just too short. I sat there for quite
a while watching that spider and trying
to think of something I could use to
reach it..l have nothing.. So, NOW what
do I do? I know I wasn't gonna just lay
down and try to go to sleep with that
spider over my head..

I had an empty soda bottle sitting by
me on the table, I picked it up and
threw it at the spider knocking it down
to the floor, Dutch immediately jumped
down to my chair, then to the floor. I
guess the spider was stunned cuz it
didn't move right away. Dutch stepped
on it then bit it and needless to say,
that was the end of the spider! I got
comfy and went to sleep!

Today and the rest of this week is rain.
It got so dark about 10 this morning that
the street lights came on. There are a lot
of rivers and one is only a block from my
house. I hope that it doesn't flood. I heard
on the radio that the 3 rivers in Three Rivers
are hitting flood stage. I hope they don't go
over, that would be awful.. Makes me think
I should get some renters insurance just in
case.. Look on the map and you can see the
rivers and lakes that are right here in Colon.
Palmer Lake is just 3 blocks down the road.
Joys of spring I guess...

Penny brought a plate from her Easter dinner
and I didn't eat it yesterday, so I think I will
have that today. I have no ambition or energy
today, mainly cuz I'm so achey from this rain.
I may just eat and go in on my bed and watch
TV.. Ive been watching a lot about the wedding
of Prince William. Its all over our TV.. I wish
him well...there seems to be a curse on the
royals since most of all the marriages end in
divorce. He sure looks like his mother.

Time to post and fix some lunch..I hope you
are having a nice day.I'm achey, but still a
GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. :-) Keep well
and God Bless...

~Happy Easter~


The little bird has taken over the other
birdhouse now. I don't know what hes
doing! Its fun to watch him though. He
goes from one house to the other. Ive
not seen any other birds go by them.
Maybe hes guarding them.. Be so
interesting to know though :-)

Quiet Easter Sunday, Ive got no plans
nor am I expecting company. Kelli was
going to come up today but had forgotten
it was Easter and they have plans to go
to Jorge's parents where they all are going
to gather. He has 2 brothers each with
kids, so theyre planning a egg hunt. The
kids should enjoy it..

Pennys hubby recorded Toy Story 2 & 3
for me to send to Kirsten and Alex. Toy
Story 3 was on last night and Penny had
said it was really good. So I sat and
watched it..It really was cute. I had to
laugh at some of it. I know the kids are
going to like them. I want to send them
Finding Nemo as well.. Its a kids movie
but I sure enjoyed it myself.. Its so cute
and funny too. Get a chance to see it,
watch it..

Well I need to find something to make
for my dinner and I have no idea what
I want.. I have some ground meat and
I may make a pasty. Ive not had one
in a while and theyre not that hard to
make.. I use the already made pie crust
and it works great.

I hope you're having a good weekend
Keep well and God Bless...

~Little Bird~

There is a little bird that has been on
the birdhouse all week, every day and
all day. He or she will fly down and eat
but then goes right back. Sometimes he
goes inside and once in a while he will
fly over to the other birdhouse. I have no
idea what this bird is up to unless maybe
its trying to lure a mate. My friend d said
its a male sparrow, not a chickadee. Its
fun to watch him. He will fly down to the
ground when he sees other sparrows
down there eating, so hes maybe looking
for a mate... I hope he finds one..It aint
fun being alone, ask me how I know..
I got the nicest Easter card from my Dolly,
Kelli. She is such a good girl..Well woman.
She has sure shown herself to be smart
and looking ahead. She has the two kids,
Alex and Andrea, has a good husband,
her own home and has a great job. Donnie
did a good job raising her. She has a great
set of standards and proves it every day.
Kelli's mom died in a car accident when
she was 4.

Willie and I had Kelli those 4 years, we
babysat her every day, and I will admit we
spoiled her. but, we also made sure she
learned and tried to give her a sense of
having to work for rewards. She loved to
go shopping with me and always had her
own money that she earned doing her
daily chores..Dusting or drying dishes,
unbreakable ones :-) but she learned
she had to work for what she wanted,
it shows today. Shes a wonderful
grand daughter and we are very proud
of her. :-)

I wont be in this chair for much longer as
the power bar is down to 2.. I usually don't
let it get that low, but it is such a beautiful
warm, sunny day, and I have been sitting
in the doorway enjoying every minute of it.
But I do have to recharge.

My day started off so nice, I got the nicest
phone call from Kirsten. She has the sweetest
voice. When I say hello, she says "What ya
doin?" Today she thanked me for her Dora
watch I sent. She said she wears it all the time.
I got to talk to Donald too. Ive not talked to
him in almost 2 weeks.. He is kinda stressed
but he was headed off to the races and that
will help him unwind. Hes one of the best
mechanics around and they depend on him
to keep a stock car running. He loves the
races, at one time he had his own car. He
won quite often. Its a good stress reliever
for him.

Well I'm hungry and I don't know what I'm
gonna eat, Penny made some great egg
salad and I may have that.. My burger I
made yesterday was wonderful and I sure
enjoyed every bite, specially the sauteed
onions on it..So.....time to post this and
find food..

I hope y'all have a good week end..Keep
well and God Bless...

~Rainy, Gloomy Day~

Took this of the cardinal the other day and think its so pretty
I thought Id share with you :-)

Today is a dull gloomy rainy day.. I am
getting tired of rain and its sposta rain
all week end. I'm so ready for warm and
sunny days. The poor kitties are all wet
and this morning Dinky was limping. His
hind leg on the right side, he was holding
it up, not putting any weight on it at all...
I don't think a cat fight would do that and
I don't think getting hit by a car would
only damage his leg. It makes me think
that perhaps someone is kicking these
cats,. since Orangy is limping too. I
better never find out that someone is
abusing these cats. Its not their fault
they have been abandoned and left
to fend for themselves.. I have never
lived in a town with so many stray cats.
Its heart breaking to see. Id rather they
stayed loose than be picked up by the
dog pound.. they put cats to sleep and
don't try to find them homes, not here
anyway.. Its really a shame, they are
such beautiful cats..

Heidi, my nurse came yesterday, kinda
late, 1 oclock, which I don't like but I
don't have a choice. I'm fine, my BP
was 100/70 which is ok.. little low but
ok.. Everything else is ok too.. Shes
so very nice..

I feel pretty good today even though
I slept kinda crappy last night.. All I
did was toss and turn and just could
not find a comfy way to lay.. I may
need a new mattress I could feel a
couple springs thru it..Those are NOT
good to lay on.

My sister called last night and we had
a nice talk. Bev my niece, is not feeling
good and my sister is worried. She has
a strep throat and sinus problems.. I
sure hope she gets better.. My nephew
Steamer may have to have his leg
amputated..below knee.. This poor guy
has had more health problems.. He
has a very bad back.. I hope he does
ok.. Plus my sister is going to have
surgery on her thumb. It isnt working
right and very painful.. Her and her
family are sure having their share of
health problems.. I wish I could help.
I sure enjoy her calls though.. She
and I are good friends besides being
sisters.. we can talk to each other
about everything which is such a
good thing..

Well my lunch is ready. I'm having
a nice juicy hamburger with fried
onions and ketchup.. and Penny
made a pan of brownies for me
plus some egg salad for later. She
is doing good and promises to
bring me a plate from her Easter
dinner.. Her baby kitties are doing
great..she took photos and they
are just precious.. I cant wait till
she can bring one here..

Time to post and I hope y'all have
a nice Easter and a good week end.
Keep well and God Bless..

~Busy Penny Day~


Was a busy day for Penny today. She
was steady going. She did laundry and
went to the drug store and the grocery
store for me..She had to pick up my
prescriptions for me. Once a month
they have to be refilled. Then she made
some brownies and a dish of scalloped
potatoes and a pot of spaghetti sauce
for me..She has earned her paycheck
today..

She will make enough for me so that
the days shes not here I don't have to
do a lot, and have something already
made. It is such a big help, plus she
is a great cook, although she says I
taught her a lot. Ive shared my recipes
with her and I'm pleased I could pass
them along. Most of my recipes are
from my mother or grandmother, and
I know they are good :-)

Other than Penny being here, she is
here from 9 to 12:30, I have no plans
for the rest of the day. I did have to
call Charter today to find out why my
bill went up over 20 dollars... I guess
my contract has run out so I had to do
another one..My monthly bill now will
be 133.oo, That's for TV and phone
and Internet. Plus free long distance
and 2 movie channels, stars and encore.
They once in a while have good movies
on, and Id rather watch that than sit
and watch the other channels and have
to watch a dozen commercials.. I hate
those things. Some shows between the
segments Ive counted as many as 15
different things they advertise.

Its a cold, windy and rainy day today. I
am so glad to see Graybelle go into
the doghouse. We put some nice warm
blankets in there for her. Dinky used to
go in there but Graybelle took it over
and she doesn't get along with the other
cats..She growls and hisses at them.But
to Penny and me she is so loveable.. I
wish I could let her in.. Penny is afraid
to take her home, with her attitude we
know she wont get along with Pennys
other cats.. Penny's 2 babies are doing
really good.. She brought pictures of
them today and they are so cute...

Well its post time and lunch time..so..
I'm gonna close this for today.. I feel
pretty good and I sure am glad.. Don't
forget I am still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE ... Keep Well and God Bless.

~SNOw!~

Well you see what we woke up to this
morning.. SNOW!.. Id say there is at
least 3 inches out there as I write this.
And its 11am. Then its sposta turn to
rain this after noon. That will disolve
the snow I'm sure.
cardinal & blackbirds didnt mind the snow
Dinky
The kitties didn't mind the snow and
4 showed up for breakfast, Dinky and
Graybelle, Fuzz and Orangy. Orangy
still has a sore leg and puts no weight
on it at all.. Poor kitties.. Graybelle is
looking better and I'm glad...

Penny came today and right now has
made a trip to the store as shes gonna
make a meat loaf for my lunch today. I
didn't have any ground meat, plus I was
out of onions; and you cant have a good
meat loaf with no onions.. I like cooked
onions but not raw, same with veggies,
I don't like raw veggies either. We have
not had meat loaf in a while, so it will
be a nice change. We run out of ideas
of what to cook..

I feel pretty good today and my tail bone
isnt bothering me too much, which I'm so
glad.. When it acts up it makes it VERY
hard to sit. I think getting out of this chair
early is really helping...

So, I'm gonna post this for today and
watch the snow fall.. Big fun.. Sure is
disappointing to have snow again..My
peonies are up I hope this snow doesn't
ruin them... Even tho its a crap day I
am still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. :-)
Y'all keep well and God Bless....

~Mark's Birthday~

Today is my son's 44th birthday.. Mark.
He was born on his dad's and my 3rd
wedding anniversary in 1967. He has 4
children and lives in London. He came
here for a visit and I sure enjoyed his
being here. I wish they, him & his wife,
and son Tyler lived here in the states
then I could see them more and spoil
Tyler. :-) Hes 6, and looks just like his
dad. That photo was taken when Mark
was here. I wouldn't mind going to the
UK to visit but I am just not too keen on
flying.. :-)

Cold and windy day today. wind gusts
are over 30 mph. The leaves are blowing
all over and driving Dutch crazy. He tries
to slap at them through the window. Its
sposta rain later today and for most of
this week! Not gonna be a good one, I'm
sure ready for summer...

Not a lot going on today and I have no
plans, other than to fix some food..What,
I have no idea but I always find some
thing. I have some sandwich spread that
Penny made and I may make a sandwich
out of that. Its fast and easy which I like
that kind of prep .. not a lot of work to it.

So, no other news today, I'm feeling good,
but that spot on my tailbone is hurting. I
am so ready for that to heal up.. Ive been
getting out of my chair earlier, hoping that
would help.... it doesn't..

I hope you are having a good weekend,
I'm still a most GORGEOUS WEEBLE,
Keep well and God Bless..

~Rainy Saturday~

Their water dish is in the sink, Dutch plays in it and
will make a huge mess with it if I dont.. LB is getting
a drink... :-)

Its a dark, gloomy Saturday, raining
steady. Even the kitties havent come
by, well except for Graybelle, she is in
the dog house. She stays there a lot and
I'm sure glad, then I don't have to worry
about her. We havent taken her to the
vet yet as she is never here when Penny
is here to take her..There is a vet not far
from here that is sposta be very good and
reasonable prices.. Graybelle is not my
cat really but someone has to step in to
help her. Shes such a sweet kittie she
needs a loving home..I wish I could let
her in, but she doesn't get along well
with other cats and will growl and carry
on.. So I can just imagine what would
happen with her and my boys..and I
cant have cat fights.. My two today are
both in bad moods and have been
steady fighting..must be the weather.

I have nothing to do today other than
to charge my chair which I will have to
do before too long..my charge bars are
steady going down.. Depending on how
much I go around in here shows on my
charge bars. When I get down to 2, I
plug it in .. doesn't take but a short while
to charge.. I usually wait till I get out
of my chair for the day, then I don't worry
if I have to get up. When the weather is
bad I try to keep this chair on a full charge
just in case the power goes out..

Penny made some ham salad for me
yesterday so I may have that today.. I
splurged last night and made a root beer
float.. I love those things.. I don't use
a lot of ice cream, I only get those small
containers of it.. That's plenty since my
stomach doesn't agree with dairy products.
It sure was good though and its a nice
treat once in a while...

Writing about food, of course I'm now
hungry. :-) So.. I'm gonna go and get
something but first I havta remind you
I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE !
Hope you have a good week end ..Keep
well and God Bless..

~Post Number 1940~

I saw Carl outside on his rider. He had a
wagon hooked up to it filled with dirt that he
was putting on bare spots in his lawn. Hes
over 70 and just stays so active. I watched
him for quite awhile. He and the lady I call
Gramma, across the street, are both very
active. She still drives too. They remind me
of my parents that stayed active up till the
day they died..

I think if they hadnt they probly would have
died sooner. They enjoyed their yard and
garden, my dad still worked up till the day
he was taken to hospital. He went fishing
every chance he had. My mom was the
same way, busy busy. I think that's part
of my problem. I'm not busy busy anymore.

I look out the door and see things that need
done in my yard and I would LOVE to get
out there and do it. I loved working in my
yard and tending my flowers. It was a daily
pleasure for me. I miss that.. I don't have
enough to keep me busy and that is a lot of
my problem. I want to do stuff but I just
cant and I think that's the problem with a lot
of people. We cant do what we did and it
gets us down and makes us feel bad...I wish
it was different...

I think once I get my deck and get outside better
that may make a big difference. Donnie said that
maybe next week he and Gary will start on my
deck...Ive been looking at catalogs of all the neat
stuff I can get for it..I think my only problem will
be trying to figure out a way to get out without
my 2 shadows following me.. be nice if it was all
screened then the boys could come out there too.
That isnt possible though.

Penny came today and got us all clean for the
weekend. Heidi did show up yesterday and checked
me over and I'm doing good. My blood pressure is
fine and my oxygen level is good too. I feel fine.
The only problem is that spot on my tailbone. If
that would go away I would feel great. I didn't sleep
the greatest last night. I woke up about 2 and was
wide awake till 4. I just went and got on my puter
for a while.. at that time of night nothing good is
on TV at all...but I fell back to sleep and the boys
woke me at 6.. LB decided it was his turn to wake
me.. he laid on my chest saying "MOM!" till I sat
up.. :-)

Time for lunch and to post this for today.. Hope
y'all have a good weekend..Ours is gonna be
rainy it says.. I'm still a most GORGEOUS
WEEBLE .!. Keep well and God Bless...

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,
I'm honored to call you 'friend'.
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

~Heidi Day~

female on the left, male is the red.
Its 10 am and I am waiting for a phone
call from Heidi to let me know what time
she will be here today. Usually she comes
after she leaves Fairview, about 1 or so..Its
later than what I like, but I guess that's the
best time for her, so I make an exception.
I had the best time watching all the birds this
morning, they were out there in swarms..It was
so nice to see the Cardinal and his mate. I knew
they would be here since Penny has put some
sunflower seeds out there, they love those. The
corn draws the bluejays and the blackbirds..The
other seed draws the chickadees and the doves.
Its so soothing to hear the soft cooing of them.
I heard a woodpecker the other day, but I have
yet to see him. I sure enjoy these birds ..
2 bluejays
blackbird
5 of the outside kitties were here this morning
too. I was so glad to see them and know that
they are eating. Fuzz, Dinky, Graybelle, Earie
and a new black and white one, I named him
or her, not sure yet, Tigger. Graybelle left
yesterday before Penny got here. She still
doesn't look good.. Maybe she will come by
tomorrow when Penny is here.
I watched Gramma across the street today
working out in her yard..She was out there
a little after 8 and she was burning some
thing, not sure what, I think just dead grass.
The house next to her has a black and white
kittie over there and I watched as he kinda
followed her around, but didn't go up to her
at all.. This cat Ive not seen before..
I feel pretty good today and other than Heidi
coming I have no plans to do anything. I didn't
sleep well last night as I had a lot on my mind.
I get to thinking about stuff and then I cant get
to sleep.. I still have that sore spot on my tail
bone, its sore, it will heal up, will just take some
time.

Penny promised to bring one of the babies here
when they are older of course. I cant wait to see
it. Baby kitties are so precious and just so cute.
The one she brought here last year that we named
Sassafrass, she still has. Says its a sweet cat. I
knew she would be by how good she was when
Penny brought her here. Pennys kittie count is
down to 6. Some of hers have wandered off.

Time to post and figure out what I'm gonna eat
today..I don't know what I want, but I always
find something :-) In the meantime I'm still a
most GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. Keep well
and God Bless..
