Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Yesterday was a flurry of getting the May Horizons Magazine to the printer – which I do electronically by the way, via cyberspace. So while I had to stay near the computer in case they called me to make changes, I was able to go out and play in my yard. Here are my Facebook posts of yesterday:
Andrea de Michaelis is up and at it again. I love Monday mornings. Another whole chance to do it all differently if I want to. I love new beginnings!
mag just went to the printer! Mama cardinal is on the nest. Her bush now has a safety collar on it like the dogs wear since YinYang took too much interest in it yesterday. Yinny is now banned to the house.
I just discovered A Mighty Wind is on Ch. 66 Comedy Central – I’m going to watch it! Great, great movie, spoofy and funny. (Afternote: I watched a few minutes then the outside called me again. I get excited about lots of movies but rarely sit through more than until the first commercial…)
going out into the yard to play. I look fetching in swimsuit, sun hat and yard boots
little fat girl kitty YinYang is nowhere to be found on the property. I only banned her from the back yard where she was bird watching. Seems she took it personally and split for awhile. Don’t go away mad, Yinny, just go away.
Meanwhile, big giant Maine Coon Kitty Izzy is upside down snoring in a chair at the firepit area in the west woods. He knows how to spend a lazy sunny day. He’s as big as a moose and falling out of the chair and looks ridiculous.
OMG Paula Poundstone is following me on Twitter. NEAT
I know it’s the Spring 09 Cardinal HatchWatch that is the draw 🙂 Mama is still on the nest. I saw the 3 eggs earlier today. April 5 was first day I saw the eggs, then 2 more by April 7. You do the math… They are due now!
Someone commented about being followed by Paula Poundstone, so I replied: Well, actually, it’s like Deepak Chopra and a bunch of them. They “follow” everyone who follows them. You can tell by looking at who follows them and who they follow. If it’s everyone, that means they never read what anyone writes, they just post *smile* but still…
girl kitty has been located crashed out under a palm frond on the berm in the front yard. Good girl – she could not be farther from the mama cardinal and her nest anywhere else on the property! I like a cat who considers the consequences of her actions and changes her behavior.
A quick scare for wildlife critters who come too close is pennies taped inside an empty soda can. Then run and retrieve it before they keep you up with it all night long.
I’ve been hauling water and stacking wood. How is it I’ve turned into a frontier woman?? (Afternote: it’s my saving grace from this worldy madness!)
kitties in the front yard, cardinals in the backyard, mama on the nest, still 3 eggs
is chewing a blob of chilled blackstrap molasses after sundown yoga with the kitties. Then it’s everybody inside for the night, kitty door sealed, away from the cardinal nest. I carried Izzy inside, which I never do, 27 pounds of him. He just let me, although the look on his face was “I beg your pardon?”
Maine Coon kitties have this neat kind of trilling sound as they purr. Izzy has a real tiny little kitten meow voice, and he breathes like Darth Vader.
Andrea de Michaelis is remembering it is all just a movie.
