Good morning my friends. My morning got off to a slow start yesterday. For one thing, I slept in until 7:00 a.m. I'm an early-to-bed-early-to-rise kind of person. Generally, I'm up and at 'em during the 5:00 hour, and so losing two hours out of my morning is a lot. I didn't even get dressed until shortly before noon. Sadie was busy outside. She was appalled at the level of sloth.

Good morning, my friends. It's another coolish, cloudy day here at the Three Cats Ranch. I was hoping we could eat outside tonight, but it's probably going to be a little too chilly. That's okay. Summer is only just barely getting started. Generally, we don't get predictably warm weather until after the Fourth of July holiday. Speaking of the Fourth, we have a stay-at-home celebration planned. A friend with no family nearby has a Fourth of July birthday, and we've invited him up for dinner on that day. I'll bake him some cookies. Everyone ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. We survived our grocery shopping trip yesterday, although we both needed naps by the time we got home. When we drove up our driveway, a doe was relaxing in the shade of one of our flowering plum trees. Sorry for the poor quality of this picture. I was far away (for a phone picture). I worried if I tried moving closer, I would scare her away.

Good morning, my friends. I'm thinking of it as a good morning even though we have grocery shopping to do today. It's a long list, and I'm dreading it. When that's finished, though, the day is my own. I should probably water the annuals too. That never seems like a chore, and it gives me a chance to see what's new. Yesterday would have been my usual day to water them, but they were still fairly wet. I decided to wait a day. While I was out, I filled the birdfeeders, and then I walked ...

read moreGood morning, my friends, and welcome to Wednesday. The sun is shining here, just as the weatherman promised. I'd be out pulling weeds this morning, except that I'm getting a pedicure today. It'll be good to have my personal self re-groomed, even if the outdoors still looks a complete mess.
Mike spoke with our neighbor yesterday about what kind of weather caused the downed limbs we're seeing. It was a heavy wet snow coupled with high winds, and it all happened just after we left home back in February. Mike's to-do list for today includes ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. The deluge we were expecting lasted less than 24 hours. We had several dry hours yesterday, and so I was able to get outside and pull a bucket of weeds. We're expecting a little more rain today, but I still think I'll be able to make some progress on the weeds. Also on today's agenda...a badly-needed haircut. I trimmed it a few times while we were traveling, and actually, I think I like it a little bit longer than how I've been wearing it. In any case, it needs to be ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. We're on whatever counts as the opposite of the home stretch. Home stretch usually means the time before reaching the end. How does one turn that around and make it a stretch toward the beginning? Just now I checked in with The Google. The Google tells me I can substitute "opening chapter." Okay, so opening chapter it is. We're not quite to the first page, though. Think of this as the dedication.
We've had to reroute our trip already. As it turns out, it's going to snow like mad at the Siskiyou ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. I have a few things to tell you, and then I'm back into spasmodic blogging at least until we get down the road some. We've been watching the weather very carefully. We had what we like to refer to as a "false spring" here in the Pacific Northwest. We had three lovely days of sunshine and warmth, but we're promised the return of cold and wet this week. It's still dry so far, but we could see more freezing temperatures before we leave. It makes it hard to prepare because we can ...

Good morning, my friends. It's still dark outside as I write this, and so I can't tell what the weather is going to be like today. The forecast calls for rain, but the weatherman continues to insist that we'll get three warmer drier days starting tomorrow. Fingers crossed because I really want to get outside and do some weeding.
After writing yesterday's post, I stitched the Tiny Heart for Day 20 of our stitch-along. This one has chain stitch, straight stitch, and cross stitch.
