This and That

Nothing major happening, just lots of little regular things. Some are more interesting than others. 

We have has some beautiful foggy mornings.  Then it has been in the 30’s for the last two mornings. I don’t think the weather knows that it is still officially summer. 

The goats are climbing trees. 

For some reason I get posts on Facebook from the Dull Men’s Club.  I thought this one was particularly funny.  Plus, it is a double collectable, both a face and a fence. 

I have been working on my rock garden some more. When I turned over a rock to bring it down the hill yesterday I found this black widow spider. I did had on gloves. But I did not let her live. 

 Then there is Kit Kat just because he is so handsome. 

Unexpected Visitor

Emily and Keiran came to visit for a couple of days. They left this morning after I had gone to work and Joe had left out for the day. On my way home from work I got a slightly panicked call from Joe. When he had gotten home the walk through garage door was open and the door from the garage to the house was open. When Joe stepped into the house, whoosh, the stray tom cat that has been hanging around occasionally ran out of the laundry room and into the house. Joe went on a cat hunt and found Kit Kat upstairs on a bed. But he could not find the stray. 

When I got home I joined the hunt. I found him under the cedar chest in our bedroom.

Now, what to do with a wild cat in your house. 

I opened some windows hoping he would jump  out. 

But no, he just jumped everywhere else. 

He even tried to climb the bookshelves.  That's him on the 5th shelf up.   I told Joe to get the fishing net. His response was, “do we have a fishing net?”  He found it and I slithered under the bed where the cat was hunkered down. Joe waited on the other side of the bedroom door. 

I am a professional, don’t try this at home. I was able the get the hissing and spitting cat into the net and threw it (gently) out the window.  I spent the next two hours trying to rid the bedroom of tom cat odor.  Luckily, I have couponed for a wide variety of cleaners and air fresheners. 

Meanwhile, Kit was relaxing on the back porch. He has been grounded and banned

 from having anymore friends over. Emily and Keiran will get a lesson on how to close a door. 

And I may have to get rid of the doormat in the laundry room. Looks like the whole thing could be my fault. 

 

As Seen On Facebook

Since I am pretty much house bound, there hasn’t been much to post about.  I did make it to my clinic’s Christmas party and the the R’s Christmas party.  I had a good time at both and did not over do at all.  My pain has lessened and I am able to go up and down the stairs now.  So things are continuing to improve. With little else to do, I will share a few things I found humorous on FB.  

For those in the south that are not use to snow.

To my brother and three sisters.

This one could definitely be me, it is hard to ask for help.

Not for me, but I know some people.

This one is very much for me.  I have not been able to organize my penny shopping from last month.  I have a huge pile of things I bought just to be buying things.  But it is hard to pass by at a penny.

Hope you got a little laugh on Emily’s birthday.

 

Garden Chair Of Solitude

For those of you that follow the Terrible Real Estate Agent Photographs blog (link on my side bar) you already know about the garden chair of solitude.  For those that don’t know,  HERE is the link to those particular posts. It is worth the effort to click the link for a good laugh.

Well, after the flood I was riding Hugo through the bottom and we encountered his first Garden Chair of Solitude.  It was about the only thing that caused him any concern on our ride. 

 I think this one could be a contender for the series Alone. 

Sock Eating Boot

We have a small group for fall calving cows at the house.  Joe wanted to get them up today to vaccinate and deworm the cows and vaccinate and ear notch the calves.

They were on top of the hill in front of the house.  It was a hike to get up there but the view was totally worth the effort. 

The sunshine on the fog made it look almost like a lake. 

Emily sent some beautiful pictures of her trip and I told Joe that it is nice to travel and see new things, but it even better to walk out the door and see this every day.

However, walking up the hill Joe had to take a break to fix his sock.  He said his boot was eating it.  I had never heard it phrased that way but it was an apt description.  He said it was a common saying.  Well, he must have had good socks for the last 35 years because I had never heard him say it before.

Back at the barn we got the cows and calves worked in short order.

 It was a short morning chore. 

Tuesday Humor

One of the vets that works Tuesday has COVID, so I was called on to work today.  So no farm pictures.  But I do have a few things that have caught my eye on Facebook I thought I would share.

 Hope it made you chuckle.
