We had some sun over the weekend. Funny since it was snowing where Mom works up on the big hill last Thursday and ice pellets pelleted her Friday morning. And then, sun!
We were just as baffled, as always over the last thirty-plus years, at how fast the weather can change here. Viola might have forgotten just how bright the sun can be. We don’t think she minded, though.

Apparently, we’re STILL having problems with friends receiving email from us. All anyone will tell us is that Comcast and Gmail are conducting massive campaigns to cut down on spam/phishing email and unfortunately, that will affect normal email exchange between the two. We are beyond baffled that our ability to communicate with the world via email is so spotty and seemingly selective and not completely across the board. We’ve been trying to communicate with some of you through Outlook and other venues and have only heard back from one kind person. Again, we apologize if you haven’t heard from us in months via email. We’re still trying but this is completely out of our hands. * insert very angry face here *
It’s officially ant season, apparently, and the house bug-hunter Pia may have eaten some ants which always gives her an upset stomach. Since first finding ants inside eight years ago, try as we may and using all kinds of pet-safe methods, we’re unable to keep ants one hundred percent away from mid-February to November.
We can’t stay awake 24/7 to get them all and Pia takes that cue as being her overnight job. We’re also on the verge of switching her back to kibble (slowly) because she’s, once again, not eating much of her canned food and is starting to look thin. Little girl, creepy, crawly ants are not your food!
This is my favorite blanket. It’s my fort making blanket. It’s not fleecy nor terribly soft. It’s one of those sturdy, thick, heavy blankets that seems made for a boy like me. I like the colors – green and white on one side, blue and pink on the other side. Personally, I like the green side down, opposite of what you see in Mom’s photo here. You know how well green goes with ginger fur. So I like the green side on me the best. Plus, the green side is darker and I like it dark when I’m in my fort.
As the story goes, Mom bought this blanket on a side trip to Mexico many, many, many years ago and hauled it around through deserts and mountains, through sand storms and ice storms, through housing changes and furniture moving days, and never once did she think someday it would make the best fort making blanket in the whole world. It’s like she was thinking of me . . . before . . . me!
I’m sure there’s more story to this blanket I love, but it’s calling to me and who am I to deny my favorite spot? Thanks for listening to me talk about my favorite blanket. It’s just a blanket, I know, but it’s my most favorite thing.
