From The Heights. #35
Good morning everyone! It is a nice, cloudy morning once again, though it looks like it might be clearing in the south. The temperature began at 38F (3C) earlier this morning, now it has dropped to 34F (1C) and it is supposed to drop further with snow beginning shortly. We still have some snow left from before, all those warm days were not enough to melt all the snow we had, though most is gone.
The weekend is supposed to be mild again though, then a bigger drop in temperature which will then stay with us. Winter has not been too bad so far, although there has been a lot of ice this winter. Well, my new fridge is much nicer than the old one and it is working great. Poor Muffin did not like it when the guys brought in the new fridge.
Blue Jay photos for today, this one is Baxter.
When all was done, or so I thought, the guy said to wait and hour before turning on the fridge. Fine. Now, he did neglect to tell me everything however. Like the fact the fridge was in the middle of the floor, not in the spot where it should be. I had to do that part. It did move quite easily, but a fridge is still heavier than I should be moving around. By quite a bit.
Not sure who this is, but this Blue Jay looks happy on a summer morning.
I finally got it in position and then remembered I needed to plug it in first. Sigh. I pull it back out, plug it in and push the fridge back into position. That was just a little too much and I hurt my back. Sigh. So I had to lie down. That meant no walk that day and no working on my table either.
My back still was not feeling good yesterday, so no walk again and no working on my table. Again. Sigh. Now today it is cloudy, cool and a strong north wind. Oh well, a good day to stay inside and work on my table. And drink coffee. Lots of coffee. I heard a crow cawing earlier this morning, other than that there has been no bird activity today.
This Blue Jay is Betty, Baxter’s mate.
Certainly not a bird area, that is for sure. Oh well. There does seem to be a lot of traffic out there today, more than normal. But this is Christmas shopping season, so that would mean a lot more traffic. Must be time for more coffee. I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!

Muffin’s Daily Fun! #137
Hi to all of you once again!😺 Wow, the days go by so fast around here, hardly have time to finish all my naps! Only have one nap in the morning instead of two like I supposed to have. But I get lots of napping in afternoon. Then me and my human go outside on balcony room. I go to edge and look down again, but it so scary! And big noisy truck go past right then too so I ask to go back inside real quick.🙀 Whew! That was close one. So, here we go with fun funnies for today…
DOG’S NOTE TO SELF: These are just some of the things I must remember (in order to keep my present living arrangements):
~ The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
~ I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.
~ I will not eat the cats’ food, before they eat it or after they throw it up.
~ The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.
~ When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it’s raining outside.
~ We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on television.
~ I will not munch on “leftovers” in the kitty litter box; although they are tasty, they are not food.
~ I will not bite the officer’s hand when he reaches in for Mom’s driver’s license and registration.
~ The cat is not a squeaky toy so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it is usually not a good thing.

Two brothers at dinner; two steaks on the platter. The younger brother immediately helps himself to the bigger piece.
Older brother: “When are you going to learn to be polite???”
Younger brother: “If you had first pick, which would you take?”
Older brother: “The smaller piece, of course.”
Younger brother: “So what are you whining about? You want the smaller piece? You got it!”
======
That all for today everyone, hope you enjoy! Have very nice day to all of you!
Muffin.😻
