Today was the day.
Dah Boys gave up dah boys.
Continue readingMy husband had some packages to pick up in today’s mail, so I made a quick trip in to pick them up.
I was expecting 2, maybe 3, boxes.
There was 5! LOL The clerk helped me carry them to my van. :-D
When I got home, I was surprised to find my name on one of them.
A dear friend had sent me a surprise!

No more trying to keep the cats’ water from freezing with a light bulb! :-D
Of course, I had to set it up right away.
The cats were quick to show their appreciation.

It took Doom Guy a minute to realize there was water in the new bowl. The warm water I had put out this morning was already starting to freeze!
My husband had actually ordered one, too – in fact, it might be in one of the other boxes I picked up! So we’ll have two. :-)
I have the best friends!
The Re-Farmer
This afternoon, I found myself falling asleep at my desk and realized I needed to nap if I was going to do any driving later on.

What a beauty!
The winds picked up well before the blizzard hit, and the pool noodle bumpers I’d made for the main gate were being blown away. On my way in and out, I grabbed them and quickly tossed them into the van.
As my daughters and I were heading out together, they noted the pieces in the van…

It was getting so chilly, the poor little bumble bee was slow and sluggish – but in the relative warmth of the van, she was starting to perk up!
My daughter released it near where the pieces were found. Bumble bees nest in the ground, so we are hoping it had a nest somewhere near there that it could tuck into for the winter!
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
I had lots of kitties greeting me when I went out to feed them. Much to my amazement, one of the cats that came running, and even let me pet her, was Rosencrantz!!
Then, after I topped up the inside food, I realized that one of the cats eating was Guildendstern!

They do make it difficult to make the bed.
One good thing about living in the middle of nowhere. When I see a snake on the gravel road, I can stop and shoo it off.

It’s that time of year when the garter snakes are heading north to the dens where they spend the winters. Sadly, many never make it as they try and cross the roads. Especially on the highways. It’s almost impossible to avoid them. Often, they can’t even be seen until it’s too late to even try.
Lately, Beep Beep has been very aggressive about wanting human attention.

She has very sharp claws!
After we made our trip to my medical appointment yesterday, the girls and I ended up going for a walk-about beyond the outer yard.
Beep Beep followed us.

It’s looking like our temporary situation is becoming permanent…
