Tuesday – 3/1/2017 – It's Festival of Sleep Day … zzzzzzz

Is this what they call dog tired?

Sweet dreams PG.
Airy, Meegz, KK and I are just back from a soak in a natural hot pool, we feel so relaxed. Hot pools on a hot day sounds crazy but it was so wonderful. Then we accidentally stopped for hot fudge sundaes on the way home. 😉 😆
It’s back to work tomorrow for the workers after the New Year break so it’s back to lunch making for me.

Lol at your iPhone help experience, KJ. Hope you get it back up and running, PG.

Such cuteness today. I just want to rub “five more minutes” kitty’s tummy. What pretty dilute tortie fur she has.

Rainy day here. I’ll be off to clean my Tuesday house in a bit.

LOL at the ‘accidental hot fudge sundae’ …..

Here’s a pic of Son’s mothership that I decorated my Gasparilla table with, along with the iron ballerina all decked out! …. it’s that time of year, again!

KJ, my ballerina is literally made of iron! …. very heavy, I can’t lift her …..

PG, glad your phone is working …. I’ve had my share of snarky 14 year old phone tech! LOL

KZ, your poor cattle! Do you have a solar cover for your fishie pond? I have one for the tortoise pit, and it really keeps the warmth in for him …..

Love the Beatles song JK! thanks for sharing

Well, wrapping my day up …. I’m thrown off with the last 2 Mondays being holidays ….. makes me discombobulated!

Hi everyone – love the sleepy kit pics! Rainy day here too, would have been a great day to sleep in. I stayed in a short while as I was trapped by Comet, Mac and Dewey. Got a call from a blast from my past, and then it was time to go down the valley to mom’s. By the time I did all that needed to be done, settled in and made a fire, and remembered one more errand, at 5pm! One doesn’t just run to the store around here, so back down the mountain I went; round trip errand accomplished in about 45 minutes.
The hot springs sounds awesome MS. How nice that you accidentally stopped for hot fudge sundaes!
Glad the phone is working again, PG, with no assistance from a 14 year old.
Sounds like a nice afternoon catching up with N, KJ, looking at photos and such. Nice score on the yarn!
Yes, these up and down temps are tough on outdoor life. Hope the cattle and fishies will be okay, KZ. Temps were in the low 40s today and will rise tomorrow then plunge. I’m about a day behind you and JK, weather-wise.
Love the mother ship, AV! And the iron ballerina is everything you said she is! Nice to see her get into the Gasparilla spirit too!
I hope you got a wee catnap in with Merlin, CWS!
Love that Beatles song, JK – it’s been a while since I’ve heard it.
Got a little snuggle time with Baby Tyler today. He weighs 15 lbs. now, at ten weeks.
Another sad anniversary today. Nine years ago today my soulmate Jiggs went to the Rainbow Bridge. I knew he wasn’t well, and also knew he hated to ride in the car, so I made the decision to get standard veterinary care from my local vet, and nix the extra stuff that could only be done by a specialist much further away. On that sub-freezing, coldest day of the year in January, 2008, he gave me the look, and I wrapped him up in our favorite blanket that he was of course sleeping on. Hubby drove, so for the first time he did not have to go in the dreaded carrier. Once at the vet, the prognosis was grim, so I made that awful yet kind decision for the first time in my life. I sure do miss my big brown tabby Maine Coon. And though he never admitted to liking him, Shaddo was not the same after, and followed only five months later. Time helps of course, as we all know, and now most of my memories are not of that frigid January day, but of 16 years of memories that made their way into my heart. Miss you, Jiggs!

JJ, I got choked up reading about Jiggs, then Shaddo. Thankfully, they never leave our hearts.

Well, the temps are starting to drop–and I restarted the woodburner. I did get to sneak upstairs and dive under the covers for a little nap this afternoon after Avery left. I could think of about 3 things that needed done, but decided that they could wait, and I was going to give in to the rain, the dark, and the quiet and just take a nap. *sigh* It was heaven.

AV, I don’t have a solar cover. I don’t really know what one is, but I will have to check it out. I think for us who live this far north, the pond freezes and we leave the bubbler running and I open a hole in the ice with a stock tank deicer for fresh air exchange. The fish sort of go into a sleep like state when it gets cold. But the pond has been frozen, and then warmed up two or three times with a lot of fresh rain all winter. The fish were moving around a lot this morning, but by morning they will be stacked up like fish sticks again I’m sure. That’s the part that worries me a bit.

KJ, good score on the yarn! That really IS good customer service!

KZ the solar cover I have is one made for an outdoor spa. it traps the sun’s radiant heat and ‘blankets’ the surface of the pond, keeping the warmth in …. it’s good for the tortoise pit because it does the same thing, and he burrows down in his pinestraw base. Of course, being so much further north that you are, I don’t know if they work like they do down here ….

Good yarn find/buy!

((JJ)) Jiggs ……. *sniffs* ….

I just bought tickets to go up to Delaware in Feb. to see Dau (SIL will be out of town on business) so we’ll have a girls weekend! Can’t wait to see her!
