Baby powder paw prints coming out of the bathroom. Yeah, I know I need to clean but I’ve been busy with other things lately, like writing a novel & hanging out at Buffalo’s Greek Festival at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church 🙂
These paw prints belong to Radar, my bathroom buddy.

After yesterday’s glorious weather, today is rain, rain, rain! Pouring rain, all day rain. The kind of day that makes you want to curl up on the couch with a cup of tea & a good book.
The cats always sleep through rainy days & after celebrating my birthday all day yesterday, I think that’s a great idea. After my cup of tea, I put the blanket over me & started to doze off … but wait! Bobby wanted to get under the blanket with me. I was able to get a picture of him, cozy & comfy. The blue tint is from the blue lights I have hung over the picture windows.
Saturday mornings are for sleeping.
Early morning nap. Just before I put up the blinds for the day.
Up until today, the weather has been really nice … in the upper 60s, light breeze, mix of sun & clouds. I’ve been working outdoors, cleaning out the garage, restacking wood, raking the yard & gardens, trimming, & mowing the lawn. Yesterday a cold front went through & now it’s cold & windy again.
Since I’ve been outside so much, Radar thinks he should be outside, too. & even though I have no desire to do anything outdoors (or indoors) today, since I am achy from all that work & from the damp weather, he is by the back door, crying to be let out. Yeah, like I’m going to let him out roaming the neighborhood. There’s other cats in our neighborhood who are allowed out. Just the other day, I saw a pretty little grey cat with a pink collar walking through my back yard. But I see a lot of dead cats at the edge of the road, too. So my cats stay indoors.
There’s a cold front moving through the area today, with lots of heavy rain & wind. Early this morning, there was a thunderstorm, with bright flashes of lightning. Bobby hid but Radar was right on top of me for hours.
Now things are back to normal, more or less. There’s just a light rain falling, although the wind has really ramped up. But he cats have calmed down. They just want some treats before they take their afternoon naps.
I went to make my bed this morning but I couldn’t! Radar & Bobby were sleeping there & of course I couldn’t disturb them! I can make the bed anytime.
Usually I do laundry on Sundays & if needed on a Wednesday or Thursday but I realized that I was really low on towels this morning so I decided to do laundry today. Hey, switching up your schedule is good, right?
I always throw the blankets on the floor. One of the cats is sure to make a cozy nest in them & today it was Radar.
It stormed last night & we didn’t get much sleep, so the kitties & I are napping today. It was sunny earlier but as I post this, the rain has moved in & I can hear thunder in the distance.
