What?…Prosecco’s Deaf?

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** We think Prosecco…(our kitty-kat-um’s)…is deaf….. …..(actually my older daughter figured it out)….. Sometimes…we’re less than attentive to the obvious….. Sometimes the obvious…is totally missed on us….. We’ve had Prosecco for…(I don’t know)…five or six years….. We thought she was wayward…uninvolved…and aloof…(you know…a cat)….. …..maybe that’s all there is to it…and this is just a big ruse….. But on closer examination…I don’t think so….. We may have dropped the ball on this one….. There…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Yep…our chimney’s needed some prompt attention for quite some time now….. Replacing the chimney cap can’t be put off any longer….. We used to be a one bucket family….. But now we’ve progressed to being a two bucket home….. And…I’d like to point out that during rain storms…the rainwater runs down the chimney…across the hearth…and onto the den floor in a sooty-slurry….. …..messy stuff….. …..(however…it does have a nice after-burn/creosote smell to it…I…

*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel******* I’ve officially given up on a roaring fire for the next few months….. …..or more….. It’s hard feeling in the mood for a roasty/toasty fire when it’s in the 90’s or above ….. Before cleaning out the ashes for the coming summer….. …..I was able to eke in a couple small morning fires recently this last week….. It actually got down to 58F degrees one night….. …..my rule is……..

*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel******* ~~~~~~~The Great “Kitty/Papillon Smack-Down” continues!!!~~~~~~~ *****~~~~~~~Danny Zucko versus Copernicus~~~~~~~***** I’m taking bets….. Danny (the dog) always starts the fights….. …..the cats always finish it….. …..(oops, I guess I just shut down the betting potential, huh)….. His other sparing-partner is Prosecco….. I’ll tell you right now…..Danny is ALWAYS the whiney-looser….. …..he’s a fluffy-whoosie….. …..(don’t tell my younger daughter I said that)….. …..(well actually…that’s not true…he does regularly make the Wolfhounds…

In the sixties and seventies….. …..communes were a big deal….. …..eating together…bathing together…meditating together…sleeping together… …..everything was tie-dyed and together….. …..there were sit-ins…and bed-ins (the Lennon/Ono one)…the Summer of Love…and lock-ons…..(***Remember What A Lock-On Was?*****) I think I’ve mentioned before that I was living in New Jersey at that time….. …..and I remember having the opportunity & being asked to go to this outdoor concert-thing in up-state New York….. …..I picked staying home and go horseback riding instead….. …..hmmmmm…..

~~~~~~~Happy Belated Ground Hog Day~~~~~~~ Punxsutawney Phil did indeed see his shadow….. …..sooooooo…..six more weeks of winter(?)…..(I guess)….. ~~~~~Punxsutawney Phil~~~~~ This has been a great winter to indulge in my semi-pyromania….. I’ve cleaned up the backyard…..and the front yard….. …..now I’ve started on the goat’s pasture….. This has all been a clean-up mission of two years of blown down stuff from all of the trees….. Unidentifiable mosses…Palmetto fronds…squirrel-decimated pinecones (just to get things rolling)…Spanish moss…just about anything I can get…

We Had A Hard Freeze!!! Tra!  La! Take that mosquitoes! I don’t think we’ve had a hard freeze for the past two winters at least… We need at least one a winter to kill off the green-gooies that get to thriving in the heat and humidity down here…….(witness Ben’s head). And the mosquito population has been growing each year exponentially. As an aside…….did you know that we have elected officials who head up our Mosquito Control Division? ***Our Elected Mosquito…

Copernicus is more raccoon than house cat. He’s got Bengal spots, but he’s not a Bengal (that’s a domestic cat breed). He’s a Puma breed that my friend is trying to get recognized by the CFA registry (Cat Fanciers Association). I’m sure he’s more of a raccoon than a house cat……. …..he loves bright-sparklies… Bright-sparklies can be anything that appeal to his kitty-sense of fun-ness & curiosity. …..he collects them, he hides them, he plays with them, he eats them……

We just finished our monthly hit on Walmart. They finally got huge briskets back in stock.       I love me a big slab o’ meat……. It wasn’t in our budget…….but it was in my shopping cart.   My younger daughter and I tootled around Walmart with two carts…….filling both… …….all jumbo/economy-sized merchandise. Really shopping like we do is an aerobic activity……. First we put the stuff in the cart… Then we put the stuff on the cash register’s…
