Day 714

Yesterday was double excitement day. Thanks to the doctor, today became double trouble day.

Sinus infection. Bronchitis. Two different antibiotics and an inhaler. Lots of fluids and rest. Thanks, doc (I say in a sarcastic voice).

Thank you morning sunrise (I say in a non-sarcastic voice).

Day 712

After nearly two solid months the snow has finally melted. And now that it's nice and sunny, I can tell that we had quite the windy, wet winter by the look of my windows. Yuck.

Day 711

I imagine I'll wind up being the loser here, but I'm going to go ahead and ask the question anyway.

Whose dinner looks better tonight? My can of Hormel chili with shredded Tillamook cheese melting over it?

Or hubby's homemade potato soup with big chunks of potato and bacon with a sprinkling of cayenne pepper over it?

Day 710

If you had to venture a guess about which part of a rabbit might be most intriguing to a cat, what would you say? The tail? The feet? The nose?

As I was working on my bunny quilt today someone decided to help me answer that very question.

Guess it's the ears.
