Wake up, it's java time!

It's a dull day out there with light rain expected and a storm expected this afternoon - have a bit of shopping to do before the ball game so I shouldn't get too wet. Have to make an appointment with O'Malley's groomer for this week. He looks good, but we like to have him groomed every 6 weeks so he won't fight it as much. He won't let us touch him with a brush.
The last place we had been going to, the staff wanted him to have a sedative because he became so aggressive. The Vet said she wouldn't have given him one anyway it's too hard on their lungs and heart. If it came to a point where he couldn't be groomed professionally, she said she'd rather put him under in the office and do it there because it would be safer.
He goes to PetSmart now and there's only one girl who can groom cats. The best move I made was meeting with her and her two assistants, describing Mr. O'Malley and all his quirks and oddities so they were prepared for him. I left the grooming center and took a gander at the fish and little critters and the cats for adoption and then about 20 minutes later, I was paged over the speaker to come and pick him up. They really treated him well and although he put up a fight, they handled him with care and I gave her a tip.

Hope the shopping goes well.
Stay safe in the storms~
Hope you guys have a wonderful day!

Good Morning, Friends of the Weekend........
and Christmas.

Yes. we have once again arrived at that little bit of sanctuary that is the Weekend.
Great time to relax, sip some tea, perhaps munch on a fired twinkie saved from the Shispering Pines last Wednesday, and contemplate this latest news from MMC:
Days to the Season: 76
Days to Christmas Day: 118

Barely over 2 1/2 weeks remain now until we pass through the 100-day Christmas Day Window and on into a twin-double-digit count sequence.
(Which, of course, means the start of the fast track to Christmas Season 2015!)


How long can this low-humidity, pleasant temperature, rain-free weather continue for us?
Who knows. I'll take whatever Mother Nature offers and savor every day!
We have started off this one at 66 nicely sunny degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Sensational Saturday, Everyone!

Thanks, Crown!
Have a wonderful day!

It's time to get some more Fall decorations out, that is something I will probably work on today.
It's date night for tonight!

Good Morning. Glorious looking morning here today. Yes, the start of a weekend and my only day off this week. Had a yummy surprise this morning, awoke to find that my son and his girlfriend baked two dozen of these cupcakes last night while we were asleep last night. They are smurf blue with chocolate frosting and sprinkles; man, they are good; breakfast of champions!
Ahhhhhh, nothing like that first cup of coffee in the morning. I'll have to get a couple of cups in me before I get dressed and go outside and tackle that snake issue of mine.....

Both are welcome; the scratch under the chin and a bit of stroking on from his nose to the top of his head demands repeat attention with some all over stroking until he thuds his tail to say he's had enough, but when my husband greets him in the morning, it's intense raking that he loves best.

It's funny how cats have different tastes in how they want to be petted. I'm glad O'Malley does a tail thump to let you know when he's had enough. I've known cats who seem to love being stroked, then suddenly lash out and nip or claw when they've had enough.

The neighborhood cat heard me in the kitchen this morning and meowed to let me know he was out there. I keep a bag of kitty treats and give him a few pieces when he comes around. Occasionally he climbs up on the deck rail and pounds on the window screen until somebody hears him, but he hasn't done that for a long while. He's one of those who's funny about when he does and doesn't want to be petted.

[Another virtual scratch under the chin for O'Malley]

Once upon a time, my family took a leisurely drive through New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine to get to my grandparents home in Nova Scotia; it was beautiful and I've always wanted to head back that way during the Fall or in time for the Cherry Blossoms. It's still on my list of things to do. Bet yule have a great time!

Thank you! I'm looking forward to it!
I'm sure this will be the only chance we have to stay at that particular inn. I went online for available dates, and the prices … ! It'll be a treat, but I'll feel like a rube!

I have been likened to Buddy myself - and Sid from the Ice Age films. And, Susan Walker from Miracle on 34th Street when she sees the swing in the back yard and knows Kris was real.

I've pictured you as rather calm and placid … I'll have to amend that!

How long can this low-humidity, pleasant temperature, rain-free weather continue for us?
Who knows. I'll take whatever Mother Nature offers and savor every day!

I think ours ends tomorrow or Monday---but today, it's windows wide open and enjoy the lower heat and humidity! Delightful weather!
