Caturday – 21/1/2017 – Squirrel Appreciation Day

Crossover pic –

Evening all, haven’t been in for a few days but I’m here now. Weill try are read the backposts.
We have rain ! ! We desperately need this rain but of course it won’t be enough. Most of my flower gardens have dried up and died, a combination of hot dry weather and relentless winds and me not watering them as it takes too much water.



😆 😆 😆



I’ve never seen a squirrel except on TV as we don’t have them here.

Waving @ Moonshadow 🙂
The smells in your house are visually pleasing, my taste buds are saying yes!
Looks like Northern Calif is being flooded out, http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/thousands-left-without-power-as-major-storm-slams-california-with-flooding-rockslides/70000621

I have been reading all the negatives about the new movie, A Dog’s Purpose, wonder how many people have read the book. The book makes one cry, there are so many terrible things that happen to the main character, the dog thru its various lives. The movie couldn’t possibly portray all the hurt that the dog felt.

I have seen that there has been some calls for people to not see the movie because of how the dog was treated but haven’t read the article. I haven;t read the book either.
Going to see La La Land this week, KK saw it and said it was great so Meegz and her grandmother in law(more of a mother in law really)and I will go together. Meegz and I are interested in seeing Hidden Figures too.
Getting a bit wild outside, I am glad I tied my tomatoes up better than usual and moved other plant pots around and cleared away leaves.

Glad that it played on the other site.
Hidden Figures is a good movie, the book is better of course.
Don’t know if I want to see La La Land yet, Lynn doesn’t like musicals so I would have to go by myself, that whole getting dressed thing and then going out in public even.
The winds here are nutty and supposed to last thru the next couple of days, the outside kitty was even lying in the cat bed I bought him (he is a stubborn one).

Thankfully with it being Summer or supposed to be, dressing up isn’t going to happen. We are quite a casual people during Summer.
Those darned winds are terrible when they don’t stop, we’ve had strong winds here since before Christmas and they don’t stop. Fires in both city and the country have become all too common with everything being dried out by the winds. That’s why I’m glad of the rain tonight although it will be only a short reprieve from the dry.
Nighty night Deb.
Gentle head bonks for The Crew from Shadz.

Hello all – most of you know how I feel about squirrels, “tree rats”, as my father affectionately called them. They are oh so cute, and very funny, especially when they chase each other around. However, they intimidate the JJ crew, and muscle in on their food. Oh well, good thing they’re cute!
MS, your kitchen aroma sounds heavenly!
Hi Deb – not sure if I will get to the movies so I may read “Hidden Figures” and “A Dog’s Purpose”.
The sun has come out here in Jersey. A nor’easter is expected to roll in tomorrow with lots of rain and high winds, oh goody. I’m thankful it won’t be snow, and they say the rain totals will be enough to be a drought-buster, but I’m certainly not a fan of high winds or too much water in a short time. Feeding the cats in wet weather is challenging because there is not enough shelter for everyone to eat under. For now I’ll enjoy the sunshine.
Go Steelers! I’m also rooting for Green Bay tomorrow.

They are. Hope you caught my post on my pet show X-Company in the popcorn thread, though be warned, I cried deeply after the most recent episode. Of course it is fiction, but it is most historically accurate, says she of the useless lit and history degrees.

Paws up all !
We ended up seeing Hidden Figures this afternoon. Wow ! ! Excellent movie for so many reasons. We thought it was quite symbolic that we saw it just after the Women’s March and Martin Luther King Jr day. Do go and see this movie, quite moving, frustrating,shocking and yet heart warming and positive.
Well Summer couldn’t make up it’s mind so we had sun and rain all with the ever present strong winds. Sh fields further south had Winter size falls of snow -30cm and more.
HRH Shadz spent the day in her ferny retreat, the ferns meet overhead and protect her from the heaviest rain. She has a network of tunnels winding through the ferns and we know to not look for her there as it’s her private place. When she wants us to see her she comes and sits out in front.
