Oh, finally! My mom’s car is DONE!
Also, as I didn’t have to go anywhere early in the morning, it was actually daylight when I started my rounds, and I could get some photos. I always start with bringing fresh water to the cats, and topping up their food bowls.
Beep Beep was, of course, just sssstttttaaaarrrrvvviiinnnngggg…. :-D

But also beautiful.
We warmed up enough for the trees to be covered in frost that is still there. Then we got a gentle snowfall. Today was bright and sunny, the trees looked like picture postcards, and everything was sparkling.
It all looked quite lovely.
The girls and I also arranged a surprise for my husband, after he had gone to bed.

Today has been a busy day on the phone, dealing with my mother’s car.
The mechanic called me (the first time) about the tires and the noise in the back.
Note that I said “tires” – plural.

Also, the folks renting the property are awesome.
So is our plumber.

It will be some weeks, at least, before the ice is thick enough to drive on, and the ice fishing huts start getting set up.

We got this picture of the cat pile, yesterday. The only kitten missing is Susan. Both Junk Pile kitten and Pump Shack kitten are in there, too!
Right now, I’d love nothing more than to do what they’re doing right now!
We had a second Thanksgiving Day today!

Continue readingI wasn’t able to get back to working on getting the tire planter out (I can wiggle it a bit more, though! :-D ), but yesterday evening I decided to deadhead the spirea by the storage house.
I also cut them back from the grapes they were starting to encroach on again.
As I was doing that, I noticed some dead branches and figured I may as well take them out, too.
And those other ones.
Oh, and there are a few more…
Just a bit more…
The next thing I knew…

I haven’t made a solid post in a while, so it’s time to catch up on things.
The short version is pretty simple.
I’m tired.
So tired.
Which is actually one of the reasons I bit the bullet and saw the doctor a few days ago.
