Thanks! I believe we are both back on track! And how are you? Good to read you back
I’m trying to get plenty of rest. But it’s a little tricky...

Thank you, Lyn! Do you think it’s the flying jellyfish that we keep poking? Are they also emitting heat??
Thank you, Kathy!
Love it! What a spectacle! [emoji23][emoji23]
Charlie is a big, orange stray that came to me about a year ago. He's a BIG, healthy cat that I found in the rain, sleeping in a 'nest' under a rose bush.
The lady who lived two houses away from me had died a year ago, Thanksgiving, and Charlie showed up at my house in December, so I just figured he probably had been that lady's cat and whoever took over the house kicked him out. He's obviously an indoor cat, and he had been neutered. He's very healthy-looking and had you can tell he was loved and very well cared for. Once I befriended him, he kept telling me that the outdoor life is not for him. The fourth picture is of me looking out my back door window and him saying, "Let me in, it's cold out here."
Well, he's lived here now for about a year, outside. This a.m. when I opened the front door to go out and get some wood for the fire, he RUSHED inside. He's never done that before. Meow at the door? yes, waiting at the door? yes, but rush inside? never. He's always been a gentleman. I guess he's decided that living outside when it's raining is not his thing. I let him stay inside for a little while, but it really upsets my resident indoor cat, Little Missy Kitty, to have feline visitors, so I knew his indoor time was limited. Trouble is, when I went to pick him up, the "gentleman" growled and spit at me. And he's so big, I didn't want to push my luck. So I got a can of cat food, showed it to him, opened the front door and set it on the porch. Being the foodie that he is, naturally he went out for the food!

Right, no laps today. . . that is, unless it's not raining at 5p when I usually go out. So here I sit, wishing I didn't have to go out. (I love that picture of the plastic bag people on the bike. I wonder how they keep the bag filled with air like that.)
I'll drink to that!I know I've posted this before, but these should help.

Wish you a speedy recovery, Lyn. <3
That is so cute.

Don't go Yvonne don't goooooooo.
That is a good compromise. Unless it tastes like medicine. Then yuck!!
Lol. And you can't talk. Do you by any chance solve it with charades?
And there is our Lena back. [emoji23]
Whahaha. I laughed so hard at the first one I started coughing. Re the second one I don't want to be breathing that air. Just a tad stuffy. [emoji33]
He is a gorgeous cat. But he will probably try it again. Unless of course you make your doorways double doored like they do for aviaries. Or your resident cat might just get used to him if he does it often enough. Good luck. [emoji3]
Sunny and warm here today unlike @Yvonne G in California. The problem is that our Polar Vortex FROZE all the local waterways.....and they remain non-navigable at least for small boats!
Took a drive today thinking i might be able to get out kayaking on a trip tomorrow, - nope..... ICE ICE baby.
Where I normally launch from...
A view from around the corner where I usually paddle. Just right of center, by that single pine stand, if you look hard, you can see a flock of Tundra Swans....honking like fog horns!

Stopped by “The Feed Store” this morning after checking out the frozen water. We’ve been seeing bright yellow signs advertising this place...you know the flimsy cardboard type signs....Deer Corn...Free Range Eggs...Chicks, for some time but never pop in. Its just easier (and usually cheaper) to pick up bird seed and suet cakes from the box stores while shopping. Plus they have odd hours & days worked (only open Monday, Friday, 1/2 day Saturday).
Anyhow, I pop in, find some good black sunflower seeds, and all kinds of bird seed. I see too that they have mixed orchard hay/timothy hay bales for $9.00. Ive been buying 48 oz (1.2 kilo) bags of Timothy from Walmart for just about the same price as an entire bale! Sooooooo, a bale of mixed Orchard/Timothy is in Sullys future! /Side Note: their suet cakes for birds were twice that of Walmart/
On my way out...I say “So, ive noticed your signs and thought id stop in. How long have you been open?”
Owner replies... 43 years!
I think they need a better advertising team!

Just another wet gloomy day for us too.
My weed seeds are finally starting to sprout! Yay!!
We worked on the pond on Sunday before the rain came. Spent about 1.5 hrs messing with the liner. It’s not perfect but we did pretty good for our first time. Thank goodness for YouTube!
I played mean grandma this morning trying to get saline in my grandsons nose. I felt bad holding him down but I remained calm and got the job done.
Trying to figure out a chicken & rice recipe for dinner.
