High as a Kite

There’s one sure way in our home to get the kitties into the cat carrier. Rub it down with catnip.

However, it was still quite potent when we returned from the vet. The deary who was transported seemed to understand our scheme.

The others did not. Our sweeties are high as a kite here, admiring their large, new cat toy, encased in one of their favorite scents.

If only pure bliss were so very simple to achieve for the rest of us. Yet seeing their pleasure, made us all smile … and laugh a wee bit. They were a delight to be around all evening long. (Yes, more so than usual.)

Sometimes, You Just Have to Sit Down … On The Job

The Humane Society held it’s annual Kalamazoo Dog Walk at the Prairie View Park in Kalamazoo County on Saturday, May 4th. A few of the dogs in the rescue, seeking forever homes, came to the event to show off their awesomeness.

At the end of the day, sometimes, you just have to sit down on the cooler to rest your wary bones. This young gent needed a break after being a great sport all day long. Praying he finds his forever home soon!

Fresh Mowed Lawn

On my top five list of favorite scents, I include a fresh mowed lawn.

Granted, it comes at the slaying of dark green blades of grass, hacked off by a lawn mower’s sharp blade.

Nonetheless, I enjoy the smell with each and every slice.

Hard vs. Soft

I am a tea drinker. I enjoy all kinds of teas, especially herbal and oolong.

At work, I desire to drink tea to avoid the pop and coffee options. However, the tea at work tastes lousy! I usually have to use two bags, and even then there’s hardly any flavor. I even use the hot water spigot to make it, and THEN microwave it for another two minutes. Still, the flavor remains flat and blah.

I hathe found the reason! Hard vs. soft.

At work, it is city water which is softened. At home, it is hard water, which has only some basic filters, but not softened for drinking. (For washing dishes and all bathroom water, it is softened – no lime build up here!)

Now I bring bottles of water from home into the office to make my tea and to enjoy straight.

The tea is so very much better! With only one bag, the flavor is divine! It’s just like the hot tea my mom and I enjoy all winter long by the pot. (I mean tea-pot, and not with marijuana pot.)

Morale of the Story: When it’s dreadful at the office, bring in a bit of home to cheer it up.

Color

Sometimes some colors shine more brightly than other colors.

Sometimes other colors are glad to enhance some of their friends in the rainbow.

Morale of the Story: Color is an amazing gift of nature.

Sunset

Sunset.

Rest.

Closing out the day.

Preparing for a new tomorrow.

Gathering my thoughts.

Relax.

Twilight.

Reflections or Reality

Sometimes, I enjoy reflections more than reality. Memories of good times with friends and family, laughter over silly moments, and seeing the wonders at the Nature Center. Sometimes the memories are where I’d rather be when I’m working on a project I don’t care for, I have to hang up the laundry, or a loved one passes on from this earth.

And yet, without reality, there are no reflections to enjoy.

Through the Looking Glass

Today was my first day in my new glasses. Lovely, aren’t they? Well, that depends on which side of the lens you’re on.

My right eye has changed significantly, and not for the better. Therefore, the lens is stronger. I was warned this would take some getting used to. Days even.

Seriously! I have NO depth perception while adjusting! Thank goodness there’s next to no one in our dissipating office, because I’m walking like a big, ‘ole drunk.

Outside is worse! It was such a pretty day, I thought I’d take a walk after work. Bad idea! I should have either put my old glasses on or used a cain. I had to lean on our elderly, three-legged dog to make it back to the house. Crazy, patchy green grass with clumps of weeds to further decrease my ability to see how close or far away the ground would be.

Morale of the Story: Listen to the doctor. When they say take it slow, then take it slow. There’s no need to make the dog suffer.
