Good morning, my friends. It's a blustery day at the Three Cats Ranch. We were expecting rain. No matter the forecast, the wind always surprises me. Our winter was relatively mild, and so we got lucky with this unusual stay-at-home year. As of today, it will be 7 weeks until we head out for Alaska. We have dinner scheduled next week with two of our neighbors who will be keeping an eye on the place while we're gone. We'll be giving them keys and teaching them to use the alarm system. It's probably safe to say ...

Good morning, my friends. I moved through the day like a zombie yesterday...not that I felt dead, but I tried to bore myself to death. It took me half the day just to get off the couch, and then I completely forgot to do my assigned housekeeping chores. And it got so late in the day that I decided not to walk on the treadmill. Some days are like that, I guess. 

On the must-do list, however, were these Lemon-Blueberry Muffin Cookies. I'm linking to the recipe there, but that in no way indicates a recommendation from me ...

Good morning, my friends. It rained, and rained, and rained yesterday. My goodness, we're pretty well tired of the rain. It's spring! Bring on spring! On a positive note, my forays outside to fill the birdfeeders have revealed lots of little shoots on the landscape shrubs and daffodils that are heading up to bloom. All we need is some warm weather, and we'll be seeing a lot more. Already, in the valley, we're seeing blooming trees and flowers, so things are looking up despite yesterday's deluge.

Good morning, my friends. It's the first day of spring. Look at you! You made it! It happens to be raining cats and dogs here today. It was a fairly nice day yesterday, though. Smitty enjoyed it from the comfort of his kitty pole.

Good morning, my friends. It's another morning when I'm writing fast. Mike and I are headed into town this morning for COVID boosters. We're still "Novids," and we want to keep it that way. I wonder if a day will come when we no longer need boosters. Also, I wonder if a day will come when boosters are no longer available. It seems there's always something to ponder these days. In any case, we're hoping the boosters won't make us sick, but we've kept our tomorrow free just in case.

Good morning, my friends. It was a very good Sewturday yesterday. I got a lot done in the sewing room. You might recall that when I left the sewing room Friday afternoon, I was in the process of making two "Rosebud" blocks for the Girls' Getaway quilt.

I'd never made this block before. It looked complicated, but it actually went together pretty easily. When I had them all sewn together, they looked like this.

Good morning, my friends. It's rain, rain, rain at our place. We're supposed to get some clearing on Tuesday, but the rain will be back by Wednesday. Honestly, I'm glad we're getting plenty of rain. Since we'll be gone during some of the warmest weather of our summer season, drought conditions would be undesirable. We'll be setting up automatic sprinklers, but it's still nice to know the rest of the landscape will be well-watered. Our weather has been of the everything-in-a-day variety lately. It snowed for a good part of the day yesterday ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a gloomy day here in the Pacific Northwest. The dense cloud cover has returned just in time to obscure our view of the total lunar eclipse. It is ever thus. We gave up on trying to see celestial events a long time ago. The sky is almost never clear when something especially interesting comes along. For that, we must drive to a different state...but not this time. 

I can actually recall seeing a total lunar eclipse in December of 1963 while I was living in Hawaii. I was nine years old. So, yeah ...

Good afternoon, my friends. I'm late for our chat today. Erik texted me late yesterday afternoon to inquire whether we "should" go to the farmer's market this morning. And, I'm always up for the farmer's market, even when I don't need anything. I just love hanging out with my kiddos, and the market is always fun too. 

So that's what we did. I stuck to my guns about not needing anything. Instead, I bought something I absolutely don't need...fudge. I believe my love of fudge is already well established, so how could ...
