Yet another cold snap... and to add insult to injury, this latest cold wave hit us right after we enjoyed very warm and sunny days. I can't stand it. Can't stand the cold, can't stand the bundling-up, can't stand the dreariness of cloudy days. Oh well. I also can't change the weather, so I'll have to just deal with it. And, as my cousins in New York keep telling me: "At least you don't have to shovel snow and scrape ice."
What I do have is that blasted orange cat. So cold out there on some of the nights this week that I put a blanket over his little bed. The square-shape of that cat bed holds up the weight of the blanket, which makes the bed even warmer than it was. Heaven forbid that stupid cat should be cold in the middle of the night.
As our young friend Miss C told me on her last visit: "No wonder that orange cat hasn't left this porch--- he's too comfy right where he is!" Well, of course she's right, but even though I don't like the bad manners of that stupid cat, I don't want him to be cold and hungry while he's on our porch.
We had rain all day yesterday, which made it impossible for the septic company to come out here and do the work over at the barn as they had planned. Everything is still wet and soggy today, with not a drop of sunlight anywhere, so now the plan is for the septic guy to come out here tomorrow. I'm hoping that they don't have to re-schedule again. I'd like the work over there done and finished, with a septic system that will hold up against the encroaching roots of that blasted tree out by the barn. Not that I'm trying to save the tree.... everyone says it's a "trash tree" that will take everything down with it. If the septic guy tells me that the tree has to go, I'll be on the phone with the tree guy who was here last year. As always... one things leads to another....
Heaven help me....... I certainly hope that the orange cat doesn't bring another ill-mannered cat up on that porch with him.
