Taking Lessons From the Dude

Woke up to lots of sunshine today. Cool earlier but it is nice now, in the 40s. Coffee was enjoyed in the screen room with the cats. And the birds enjoyed the peanuts. I had to remove the ice from the bird bath. They have fresh water again. Not much planned today except enjoy the sunshine. A ride to the park might be on the agenda. The Dude is enjoying his nap on the rug. Brendel is in her cat tree snoozing. They have the life!

@CarolDM I think it's cute when they snore. My friends black cat has a broken purr-er and his snores are sometimes loud.

@ScribbledAdNauseum He is more like a dog than a cat sometimes.

Carol is bending over backwards to keep things wonderful, for two cats and the birds:) Dude sun bathes, Brendel curls up for a cozy nap, the birds chomp down peanuts and a fresh, clean birdbath. While Carol thinks of something she might have overlooked You're a champ!

@CarolDM If certain people didn't take care of the wildlife, they'd probably go elsewhere! That's why I throw out celery tops, older lettuce and vegetables, the deer will enjoy:) My neighbor feeds them shucked corn, too.

@kobesbuddy You are right and so glad you do feed them as well. Many just either don't care or don't think about it I suppose.

Don't tell me that your cats did not sip in your coffeeThey love milk. Tomorrow it might rain cats and dogs.

@Dreamerby They don't like it. No idea why. All cats are different.

@CarolDM Any special reason for that? Because I have seen every cat in my life drinking milk

The cats and brds are surely having a life there. I am waiting for a good sunny day to bask in sun. We had no sun in last two weeks. It's gloomy, drizzling and chill here.
