But I am retired and can nap any time.

I caught that rose before the rains, it is now hanging its head from the weight of all the water, few petals left.<br />Hopefully I can get more relaxad with this blogging process. Thanks for the good words.<br /><br />Barry,<br />Thank you so much for the kind thoughts. I love that you share Frost Bottom Farm with us. Watching your chickens scatter or you digging in the compost is two fold. While making me not miss it so much, it also makes me miss it a lot. Thanks <br /><br />Peter,<br />God bless you man, I will be laughing at those images most of the day and part of tomorrow. That comment deserves its own post. So unexpected. Too, too funny how you perfectly described the mind of a cat. Plan to print that out, hang it over my computer for when I need a good chuckle. Sure hope Laura was awake for that. Revenge is sweet.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-82635775449213246252009-05-05T03:42:00.000-05:002009-05-05T03:42:00.000-05:00I must tell you about Woostle, a cat we used to ha...I must tell you about Woostle, a cat we used to have. She used to sleep on me most nights, just curled up on my side. I had a battle of wills, and some mornings. I could feel her all alert and waiting for me to wake up, and I would lie as still as I could, breathing as if still sleeping. Trouble was that something had to give in the end, and it was always the increasing need to move my legs, or shift an arm, because my hand was numb. As soon as I made the slightest sign that I was awake, she was up, demanding breakfast. <br /><br />Woostle had a range of techniques to get us out of bed. Some of them spectacular. Occasionally she would jump silently, and lightly, onto the chest of draws beside our bed. She would then wait and calculate distances, angles, and all sorts of complicated things. Then, when she had got it all sorted, she would launch herself high into the air, with back arched, and tail held straight for balance. She would firmly lock all four legs below her, and land as heavily as she could on to Laura's middle. Poor Laura would be flattened into sudden wakefulness with all the air knocked out of her, and the cat would be off the bed and heading for the kitchen before Laura had a chance even to sit up(I have watched the whole performance through almost shut eyes on two or three occasions. Naughty of me to casually observe without going to Laura's rescue, but amazing, and funny to watch the cat planning the whole thing.)<br /><br />One morning Woostle went through a series of progressively worse tricks to get us up (and L. and I silently agreed to take no notice and see what happened). Woostle did various noisy slurpy groomings in the hall. Jumped on and off the bed several times over my legs and Laura's. She did the high dive onto Laura. When nothing still worked, Woostle had a think and then jumped back on the bed, walked up my side until her little furry face was only inches from mine, and then started to heave as if she was going to be sick. I shot out of bed like a bullet! She was waiting for me beside her food bowl, by the time I got to the kitchen, not ill at all, but with a good healthy appetite!<br />Hope the rain stops soon. All the Best.

It's that 9-11 at night time that I usually maintain my blog, and write.

More eloquent. Time does not allow this at this point in time. Your posts are impressive, entertaining, and hold my eyes to the monitor until I have read and re-read the post. Great stuff.

My roses have taken a horrible pounding from all the rain we've had here.<br /><br />I'm so damp I'm beginning to mildew, I think.<br /><br />Kudos to you for sticking to your blog schedule so well. I may post every day, or only a couple of times a week, and it has been as long as 10 days between posts. When I have writer's block, I have it baaaad!

Now we're lucky if we post more than once a week. I like that you keep a list of topics. That can help when you've hit the creative brick wall. But a day off every now and then can be a really good thing.
