Muffin’s Mewsings #7.

Hi everyone, Muffin here again! Wow, it been almost whole month since I write my last mewsings. I let my human know that. His feet warmer now with all those extra bandages. Oh my, my human tell you about bears that come around. Bert, he smaller bear, kinda cute for a bear, but still big enough to hurt someone if he want to. Then is Bouncer, I not like him, he too big and scary! He have such huge head! Never see such big head. My human say it “massive” whatever that mean. All I know is it huge and have big mouth with huge teeth. I see them, I know! My human actually open door to chase Bouncer bear away the other night. I think my human hit head one too many times, he not think right anymore. Then he go outside to feed birds in morning, he say it safe on deck.

I say how it can be safe, bears come on deck. He say bears come at night. Hey wait, Bert is bear and he come in daytime. My human say Bert is young, he scared of people. Yep, my human definitely hit head too many times. And what about when he go for walk where bears live? He say he have bear spray, so he show me. Look like can with funny top, not look like it would scare bears away. He show me how it fit in nice leather holster with thing called ‘velcro’ fastener. Right, I can see my human trying to get can out of holster, it fit tight, not come out easy. Seem to me there not going to be much time. What he going to do, ask bear to wait while he get can out of holster? Then it have safety cap on top. Why something so important have safety cap on it? Take longer to take off to use on bear. Might get eaten by that time. Especially with my human.

Zinnia. Humans give pretty flowers such strange names.

Ever watch him trying to get safety caps off things? I do. He have one a while back. Cap turn, but not come off. On cap it says to push and turn. My human does that, cap turn but not come off. He push harder, still not work. Finally he have it on floor and he push with all his might, of course not turn, he push too hard now. After 20 minutes and sore hands I think he want to throw it out door. Then he have idea. That bad. Always hurt himself when he have idea. So he get hammer and pliers. He actually hit top with hammer. He say to loosen lid. I think there lid loose, but not on bottle. Then I see red line on cap and point to human. He looks, there another red line on bottle. He read on bottle to match lines, then push and turn. He do that and it come off nice. Then he say, see, that was easy. Half hour wasted, but it easy. Yep, he hit head way too many times. I look at human, blink eyes, then go back to bed. What would he do without me? I better live long time or he be in big trouble. I hope you all have wonderful day!

Muffin. (as meowed to my human). My human let me use some of his nice flower pics for my post.

Sunday’s Sunshine #3.

Good morning everyone and Happy Sunday! Coffee is ready for those who would like some! What a difference from one day to the next. Yesterday it was sunny with a high of 54F (12C), this morning it was cloudy and 37F (3C), and now in just 2 hours it has dropped to 32F (0C). Plus it is snowing heavily and has in less than half an hour, turned everything white once again. However, we’re not supposed to get more than an inch or two of snow, so I hope that forecast is correct. It’s also supposed to keep getting colder throughout the day with a very strong north wind.

Oh well, it is spring, and this is what happens in the spring around here. The robins were singing cheerily from the treetops. There was a lot of small bird activity at the feeders this morning including chickadees, nuthatches, juncos and at least one fox sparrow. I’m hoping to get a closer pic of a fox sparrow this year. It is so hard to get close to those birds. I do have some nice pics of them, but as an amateur nature photographer, I still look for even better pics.

Theodore was here this morning on the deck. He has always been around the neighborhood but doesn’t come over to visit much anymore. I guess he is finding enough natural food now. And his spring colors are really looking fantastic right now. Too bad it was so dull when he was here early this morning. I would like to get him in the sunshine now, that would make a great picture. Jasper finally showed up I see, and another squirrel, can’t tell which one but I think it’s Freddie.

I was up early this morning and was going to get this post out nice and early, but…no internet. Took 2 hours before it finally was working again. Sigh. Oh well. It’s spring! All pictures today are from last summer, we don’t have flowers blooming this time of the year. Our main flower blooming time is June, July and August. We have short summers here. Have a beautiful Sunday everyone and God bless!

Steve and Muffin.
