It’s a rainy day and I seem to be the only one up and about. Even Sweetums is sleeping. I started a pot roast. Sweetums really likes them. Me? Well, let’s just say that the thought of eating it for four of five meals does not appeal to me. This is one of those times when I wish that my children lived closer. But they need to live where they can get a good job. And I am not about to give up my little creek and the laid back way of life that is Lower Slower Delaware.
I seem to have these little balls of fur lying around today.
And some not so little.

Not really. The squirrel was already dead. But that did not keep him from feeling very proud of himself and bringing it home to show off his ‘kill’.

It takes pictures. But it doesn’t give them back. I tried two different cords and two different computers. It taunts me by saying, “Yes, I’m connected”, then it says, “Fooled you” and turns itself off. Hyperventilate Mumble. Mumble.
I had some good pictures on that camera–like the animals enjoying the wonders of the Sacred Banana and my knitting and the ongoing saga that is my kitchen.
Frank has been doing a great job on re-purposing the old cabinets. And with the old stove gone, the floor can be finished.
We keep moving the chow, but the cats still manage to find it.

We’ve been going out for supper the last three days and I’m hoping we won’t need to today. I thought about putting something in the microwave, but Sweetums said, “Let’s just get a burger.” I guess a microwave meal didn’t appeal to him either.
Frank cut off the peninsula next to the stove. It’s surprising how much that opened the room. The floor should be finished today. Well, it’s not really finished. Another section still needs work. The current stove goes and the new floor needs to be extended, hopefully, to the back door. I always thought carpeting there was stupid.
We are going to get a dual fuel range. I really miss cooking with gas and an electric oven cooks so evenly. I’m so glad we didn’t have a granite top on the side cabinets. It sawed in half very nicely to make room for the new range. Flo, as usual, has been helping.

It was 24 degrees when I went out this morning. Jeez. Were my toes cold! The Queen Mother offered to knit me a pretty pink sweater. I told her, “Sheena Warrior Princess does NOT wear sweaters!” Especially pretty pink ones. What was she thinking?
My cousin, Prince Sweet Baby Rue, says this weather is wonderful! He can play outside all day without breaking a sweat. Play? He is so useless! No wonder Mother had him fixed!

Sometimes it’s really hard trying to explain how I feel. I can look out my window across to other side of the water and see a man walking along the edge. He is a bit bent over with white hair and ruddy complexion. All this without my glasses! This is so wonderful for me. I’ve been wearing glasses since I was two years old. And now I can see better than my old corrected lenses. Yesterday, sitting on the pier on the river, I said a little prayer of thanks. It is all so overwhelming. I didn’t know life could be like this.
Flo, (aka Sheena, Warrior Princess), can’t hide on top of the cabinets any more. I didn’t think I had a skinny grey pig.
That white blob down by the water is our Sweet Baby Rue. I can even make out his tinted ears and tail. And those things swimming around are geese.

How did he go from this:
to this: 
so quickly?
I know I haven’t said much lately. That should improve after another week or so. I can’t tolerate looking at this screen for long. Even the big screen on the desk top is hard. I am really looking forward to getting it done. There is so much reading that I need to catch up on. At least I can still knit and sew well enough not to have to read instructions.
