Good morning. I’m glad you stopped in Alpine. I happily woke up bright and early again or dark and early.
I have errands to run today with no darn snow forecast.

A very small black kitten found me outside yesterday. My daughter had cat food and purchased litter, bowls, more food and a toy. He was starving hungry and cold. Of course we can’t keep him as I’ve said before and ended up years later with an ornery old tomcat. We’ll see what happens.

Glad you recovered quickly CK.

A good Wednesday everyone.

All my cats have shown up at my doorstep! I keep them. They are very spoiled!
I can't wait to see if another comes by to get out of the cold! I consider them gifts

A neighbor didn't want this very cool fort that was built for his grandson. We disassembled it and built an open feeding sanctuary in the backyard. It is a great shelter and has multiple feeding stations. We put in a solar fountain. I am getting good use out of my binoculars! Thinking of putting in a camera!

That sounds amazing Chloe!

Glad you are feeling better CK!

Back to work tonight. It will be a crazy stretch heading into Thanksgiving.

Have a good day all!

I cannot believe how fast the holidays are arriving...when I was a child it seemed like it took forever for Christmas to get here! I use to count down the days...

Now, I can't keep up with them!

I agree Chloe. The time between holidays flies by for me now.

Heading to the cafe for a coffee or two.

Have a good day all!

Awake early.

I’m afraid to look outside. Heavy blowing snow and cold forecast today. I can be a wimp and call into the old geezer meeting. I would rather go in person. We shall see how icky it gets. A very good stay in jammy day with a book. Plus the kitten can snooze on my lap.

My therapist is back doing telehealth and it was wonderful to talk yesterday. This has been one heck of a year!

SG I never enjoyed Christmas for 30 years when I worked at the Postal Service. Piles of cards with red and green envelopes to try and read and massive overtime. These days everything is automated. I am an old geezer.

Coffee with more coffee sounds good.

A good Thursday to everyone.

Star,
The other time of the year that I REALLY want to ~ s l o w d o w n ~ is the time between March Madness and Memorial Day! Those 3 months seem to disappear on me because we are planting hundreds of seeds for our greenhouses.

Lucky kitten! Does it have a name? When we found our last kitten she was about the size of a hamster. Not in great shape. If not for her cries we would have never found her in the grasses.

I just kept calling her Baby...now she is BabyBoo! Lol

Val, I had a friend who retired from the postal service a year ago. He used to work from early morning to 9:00pm sometimes during Christmas. Apparently, the Service is shorthanded, and they offered him a $20 an hour rate to help out this holiday. He declined. The job nearly killed him and left him a wreck physically and mentally. Hats off to anyone who made a career there.

It's very quiet at the sober cafe this time of morning. The coffee is still fresh!

Have a great day all!
