**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** We’ve had a teensy little (cool-ish) cold snap….. I’m sad to say…this might just be the last opportunity for a fire in our fireplace…until next Fall….. …..Oh…Nooooooo….. I like roasty toasty fires so much…I don’t want the cold (cool) weather to go away until next Winter….. I’ve still got so much wood to burn from Hurricane Milton….. I have my teeny diminutive chainsaw that I stihl want to play with….. This can’t be…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** At the risk of still writing a post about the Holidays…after the Holidays….. I wanted to share an oddity about one of our cats….. ~~~~~Prosecco~~~~~ Prosecco is a sweet cat…she got her name because she’s a champagne color…but…she’s really odd….. When we got her as a little kitten…we notices that she had a right angle at the tip of her tail…(like it had gotten slammed in a door)….. She’s always been an interactive…

What?…Prosecco’s Deaf?

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….. But…

~~~~~~~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…
