For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone! It me, Muffin, back with more fun for all of you! It really has been a fun time around here lately, my human been doing lots of weird and funny things. He just so nice for doing all these things just to make me laugh and have good time! The other day we playing with my mousey toy, my human like to play with that one best and we have real fun with it. He toss it in air, it drop on floor, almost close enough for me to touch it and he look at me with big smile. I look back at him with kind of tired looking eyes, so then he crawl after mousey and toss it again and look at me again with big smile.

I watch. Then he goes after mousey and toss it again with big smile looking at me. I watch. He do it again and again, each time looking at me with big smile. It so much fun watching him play with mousey, it make him so happy! Finally he toss it once more, it went too high and he try to catch it, hit head on my scratching post, then fall backward and hit back on wood box thing, he do human purring then turn to right and hit head on oak chair. He do more human purring. Wow, such fun we having!
Then one day he making supper, that always good time to get some food so I go watch. He gives me piece of chicken. Not want chicken, want veggies, like the broccoli he going to cook. When will he learn? Sigh. He go to put rice on plate and he say I scare him. I just rub nicely against leg, how that scare him? So he scoop rice onto foot, go splat, all over foot and floor. He just stand there looking. He think it going to jump back on his plate if he look at it long enough? He bend over to clean up mess and hit head on edge of counter. So he stand up quick and put wet cloth on head. Very strange behavior. Now hair wet too. But he purr again.

Then he move back away from counter before bending over and…he step right in my food dish! He look. And purr. And he just gave me fresh food too, now it ruined, have to throw it out. I not going to eat something he step in with dirty foot! He look at me and food dish. I swish tail. He change food. He learning, just take time. Then he try again, put hand on counter for balance and…oh, oh, he forget he spill margarine on counter and hand slip! The look on his face! But he not fall! He look at hand, then wipe on shirt, oh, that bad, now he really purring. Going to be hard getting rid of that stain, not know why he did that. He say it accident. Look deliberate to me. By this time i rolling on floor laughing! I have such nice human, always make me laugh. Oh my, time to say good bye already. I hope you enjoy mewsings today. Have bemeowtiful day everyone!

Good morning everyone on this sunny Sunday morning! Well, it will be sunny once the sun comes up, which will be awhile yet. But it is clear with the moon shining brightly. The coffee is ready, help yourself and relax with Muffin and I. I did forget to mention before that my Sunday morning coffee post will be a bit different, a little shorter and more just for pics. Nice sunny pics to help us through these long dark winter months. Actually, as far as winter goes, this has been a nice mild winter with very little snow. However, there is still at least 3 months of winter left, and possibly 4 months if it’s like the last few years. So there’s still lots of time for snow and cold weather to hit us.


Jasper and his rival were really running through the trees this morning. Up, down, across the branches, more up and down. Finally the two connected and had quite the fight on a branch until one of them fell at least 20 feet to the snow below. That one just sat there a few moments then went back up the tree and sat on a branch but decided to just stay there. The other one moved closer this way but was still too far away to see who won that fight. I waited, but the squirrels didn’t move. I can only hope that it was Jasper that won the fight. Guess I will find out eventually. I would hate to lose Jasper after all this time. Well, I hope you all enjoy the pics today. And Muffin’s Mewsings will come out this afternoon. Have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
