Day One of Break:
Awakened early by the furry alarm clock--cold
nose, whiskers, incessant caterwauling. There has to be a button to
push that says "This is not a school day." Ah, well.
Fed the boss
breakfast. You didn't think she was looking out for my benefit did you?
Huh. Fed the feathered friends. Takes awhile. There are several
feeders spread throughout The Acres. Fed the flock of cats--it's down
to two--calico both. One is kitten size. One is Momma size--in more
ways than one. Beauties both. Still a little scaredy cat in both of
them. The kitten not so much. She comes right up to the doorwindow and
exchanges stares with The Homesteader. Reading minds maybe? You never
know with cats. Interestingly, I had a whole flock of city dwellers at
The Acres today--house sparrows. There's nothing remotely resembling a
city within miles of here. Must have followed me home from
Worthington.
Film of ice on the pond. Goldfish undeterred.
Several large schools in attendance all day. They, were, however, more
toward the middle of the pond than the edges. Lovely sight.
Took
several walks naturally. I still have one flower that refuses to give
up--a blue pincushion at the front of the property in one of the pot
bunkers. I am expecting the pussy willow by the pond to start
"blooming" soon especially if the weather stays warm--it was a little
chilly today with a snow flurry or two.
The challenge for today was
writing sixteen devotionals for the school project. Tomorrow I will
have to go to school after church and enter them on the computer so they
can be "harvested" by the folks in charge of the project. That will
take most of the afternoon.
All in all, a good day one. Now, if I can just do something about the alarm clock.
