We shall make it a good morning--- there is a lot of crazy news out there--- I had CBC TV on as I fed animals this AM--- Lordy Be!--There is nothing we can do about the news-- the price of food-- the snow in California, the buildings collapsing in Turkey--and--then there is Ukraine-- --- Here we have way way too much snow--- and there are days that I wonder if I can physically keep the driveway open or will it "get the best of me"--as Mom used to say-- Strong thoughts----
But, you know what?--- WE ARE LIVING THRU THIS----and as Mom always also used to say, "We should thank our lucky stars"---- ( I realize now that Mom knew a lot-)---- Mom and Dad lived thru a great deal --- I can remember sitting on the floor in front of a standup big brown radio, and hearing a man's voice shouting out stuff--- It was probably Hitler--and Churchill --- We had never even heard of television at that time. I do remember feeling that one of the man's voices, was frightening---- I knew things were happening in the world that was not good---- my parents never explained what was going on---- but--they survived ---
This morning Sushi wanted to say hello to you all---Sushi--the feral cat who found our home when it was minus 30 outside one December--and she adopted Himself and I , after residing UNDER our bed for 4 mos.__Can yu imagine how tough her life was--just a kitten, all by herself---- even eating bird seed from our feeder----- but--she never gave up--- Then she met me, and was petrified of me---as I was of her--- Now she visits me nightly-- sits on my chest and purrs and purrs---
It is a good day to keep our home fires burning--- stay strong-- be positive--- and dance.---I do believe that we can save the world--each ope us--ourselves-
Good morning Lynda. So glad to see Sushi. She usually takes a back seat as the boys activities are mentioned more often.
ReplyDeleteLoved your inserts and always admire your strength and positivity.
That darn snow has GOT TO GO AWAY. Hoping a son or two comes over to help out with snow. Sigh
Enjoy this day. Stay positive. Don't worry...be happy..focus on gratitudes.
Play your piano.
Hugs
Hi Margene-- Yes Sushi doesn't ask for much-- She loves to come in and stand on my chest in the night--and wait for me to stroke her fur--then she settles in on my chest (in the night) and purrs away--I do love her--- and yu know, she was so afraid of us when we first brought her inside.- I thought she would never come out from under our bed--It took 4 mos--- (She would use her litter box while we were asleep--on Fred's side of the bed--- (Bless Fred eh?)------ I remember, one day, I went upstairs and there was sushi sitting ON our bed--To tame her, I went to a site online, on--"How to tame a Feral cat"---- I used a back scratcher to get near her-- I do remember having to catch her, to take her to the vet to have her dewormed--shots-- etc---but--- she is a good cat now--It was all worth it! Lynda
DeleteGood Sunday morning to you, Lynda! I agree, our mothers and grandmothers knew so much, and tried to pass it on to us. I believe that women are indeed the "wise ones", the survivors... we *are* living through whatever is thrown our way. Hugs and hang in there. And switch off the news every so often, to give your heart a break!
ReplyDeleteYes--- switch off the news sometimes-I agree-- And yes, our Mothers and Grandmothers knew so much-- I wish I could meet them all now-- I'd ask them so much-Lynda
DeleteGood morning!
ReplyDelete21 days until Spring! Counting the days. I’m so ready to go outside and plant flowers.
We are supposed to have another cold front coming in tonight with another chance of snow. Blah…….
Having a birthday party for my daughter tonight. She turns 40! How did that happen? She gets older and I stay the same age! Ha ha ha
I think if my parents often. They had so much knowledge, and I never “got” that. I get much of it now….
Have a great day. Jacquie
Oh Jackie --- I miss my Mom sand Dad--wish I knew then what I know now-I would've helped Mom more-- Lynda
DeleteOur parents were strong... and taught us to be, too. Your mom's sayings often echo the ones from my mom and grandmas!
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that during the mid teens kids often think their parents no nothing and just do not understand. As they age to their early 20's and are off on their own, they learn their parents knew just too well what the kids were going through cuz they went through it themselves.
It's sunny here, too, but quite cold. This afternoon, when it's warmer, rain will start. It is due to rain the better part of the next 2 days. The only good about that is the ice and snow will be melted. There will be puddles that may look too deep to step into. Our lot was not resurfaced during the rehab...not enough $, so we have pot holes. We will all need to take caution where we walk.
I have bananas but will go to Walmart for cat food and... ahem...bladder protection.
Here is a limerick. You have probably heard it. It's by Rudyard Kipling:
THERE was a small boy of Quebec,
Who was buried in snow to his neck;
When they said. “Are you friz?”
He replied, “Yes, I is—
But we don’t call this cold in Quebec.”
Hope this brings a smile.
Have a great week ahead, Lynda. We all do appreciate you so much. {{{HUGS}}}
That's the cutest poem ever!--- And I have never heard it before --Thank yu for sharing it_ No snow fell this afternoon but I hear Tuesday will be snowy-Lynda
DeleteIt's snowing here right now but we are only supposed to get 1 or 2 inches from this . . . hope they are right. . .and we have another storm coming on Tuesday with 4-7 inches . . . yuk . . . what were you saying about Spring? I think March is going to come in "like a lion" as the saying goes and hopefully "out like a lamb" Thought my husband might have Covid yesterday . . .he has had a cough and he didn't feel just right and was running a fever . . . so I did a test on him and it was negative and he said he feels some better today but is napping right now so he still isn't right . . . if the fever come back I'll test him again tonight. He rarely goes anywhere . . . he went to the library for the 1st time since Covid began . . .they were doing a new addition on our library so it was online take out system. . . no perusing the shelfs. And our contractor and his workers have been here working on the accessible bathroom project. Any way I am still in the camp of worriers today.
ReplyDeleteOh I really hope it is not Covid-- There is a very bad cold going around now--Lets hope it is just that-Lynda
DeleteThanks for the nice picture of the cat! Cool, and the cat was lucky to adopt YOU! You need each other.
ReplyDeleteThat is Sushi--Yes she adopted us---was so frightened of us-- took 4 mos to get her out from under our bed--L0LOL--used her litter box at night--on Fred's side of the bed--Bless Fred! Lynda
DeleteWent to church today....sure missed my David.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww--That is sad--- YU are strong tho to go to church-alone--Awwww--I am so sorry--Lynda
DeleteI'm a bit late today. Love the last posting - so true. Sushi is cute We're supposed to get a storm later tomorrow wo=ith a bunch of snow and freezing rain or rain.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Feburary is almost done! Have a good night.
Brenda-We are supposed to get that same storm--with 15 more CM of snow---How will I ever do it?--- Lynda (but I will!)
DeleteWell we feel fortunate to have Sushi in our lives- She is a very nice girl who survived against all odds--I first saw her eating bird seed at the Bird Feeder--she was so hungry--Lynda-- Ill tell her what you said-- LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda, it's Kathy. I just can't watch the news any longer. It's all so disturbing. My husband looks at fox news every morning - today he told me that 2 people were killed and 3 injured at a "celebration of life" not far from where my daughter lives. I can't imagine. I wish he didn't read the news either but he wants to share! We're expecting a rain/snow mix overnight - I really wish winter was over! Love the picture of Sushi! She's lucky she found you as her forever person.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful photo of Sushi 🧡💫 Carol
ReplyDeleteThis definitely is a crazy world we live in. I suppose each generation has it’s own ‘brand’ of crazy, but . . . right now feels like really VERY crazy.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, Sushi is a real regal beauty! I am sure she is so thankful you took her in!
Yes, the best antidote we have to the craziness in this world is love . . . starting w/ourselves and our families!
Hugs
