Jane, while out back with the dogs we had a critter go across our yard ,into the neighbours and on the run!! Both dogs spotted and thankfully it soon disappeard...it was smaller than your big bear ,it was a fisher!! Hope the neighbour has a tight hen house !

Good morning, it's three degrees and a bit of snow with little to no accumulation. Next Saturday we're told to expect 40 degrees and then a leisurely trip into spring and summer temperatures.

I've finished my meet and greets and morning duties, fed Farrah and had my first coffee. Today I'm expecting two packages, one for a neighbor and a fruit and vegetable order for me. I believe my staying home more often than not has my neighbors interested in my package pick up services. It's a nice quid pro quo.

Amy, I hope all goes well for your friend. I'm not a fan of doctors here. Many are retired military from one of the five nearby local bases and still have the idea that patients should be seen and not heard.

Jane, I'd love to be a napper, but I have enough trouble sleeping at night to try naps during the daytime.

Our bears, brown, grizzly and black, are still taking their seven-month-long winter naps. They'll begin waking up in mid-April. This is usually when people living outside of town begin driving their children to and from the bus stops.

Over the mountains, in the South part of the state, bears generally hibernate for five months. Now bears are champion nappers, even giving birth while napping.

I'm hoping that everyone has a good day today and all plans work out.

EDIT: We have Fishers in Alaska, mainly in the Southeast, but I always thought of them as weasels.

phyllis · March 16, 2024, 12:52:12 PM

Amy, I had to look up fisher. We don't have them here, thank goodness. We have enough critters and it seems as though they like my attic! We have the long tailed weasel here but they are seldom seen. They are very secretive and shy of humans.

We have bears, too, Jane. And they are being sighted closer and closer but, I haven't seen them in my yard yet. Lots of deer and coyotes and smaller animals. They are learning to co-habit with humans, aren't they? I don't mind them as long as they leave me alone and just go on about their business.

Good Morning PATRICIA and Phyllis and anyone else who shows up!

I didn't even stop by the office on my way to bed last night! I was worn out and the bed was calling my name! I slept well and woke up 15 minutes ahead of the alarm clock! I hope that means today will be a good day! I don't have any real plans for today except to take my daily walk (without Cooper). Frankie said she might be over later to give him a bath in my tub. Sometimes she does that and sometimes her day off just takes over!

I wish you all a good day! Make it your own in every way! And stop by and share it with us!

patricia19 · March 17, 2024, 01:49:20 PM

Good late morning from an Interior at eleven degrees and raining snow. I doubt there will be any accumulation today. Coffee's in hand, Farrah fed and meet and greets over with. Another late night, it's hard when your mind is racing when your body wants to snooze to feel rested the following day.

Nothing on today's agenda but more decluttering now that my clothes, bathroom, and kitchen organizers are in hand.

JaneS · March 17, 2024, 09:31:13 PM

Not much going on in here today! I guess everyone is busy elsewhere! I had a very productive day. ... got a lot done where it doesnt really show but i know its done. Now I'm off to the haystack to see if I can get rested up for tomorrow. Cooper will be here around 6:45 in the morning and the day will begin. Actually, it will begin when I get up and get dressed and have my breakfast! The he will arrive!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. PLEASE come by and share it with us! We miss you when you're not around!

JaneS · March 18, 2024, 08:00:34 AM

[/Still not much going on here. I'll be back when I don't have to talk to myself. I can do that any time!b]

RAMMEL · March 18, 2024, 09:30:43 AM

Just peeking in. Sun is up - and shining. Let's see what today brings. Today would have been my dad's birthday.

JaneS · March 18, 2024, 11:11:10 AM

Hello RICK. I'm sure your Dad is having a Happy Birthday where he is now!

Vanilla-Jackie · March 18, 2024, 01:11:08 PM

Rick...
...my fathers Birthday would have been last week, the 12th March...doesn't matter how many years they have been gone, the memories still flood back...

JaneS · March 18, 2024, 03:59:03 PM

JACKIE, I'm sure your father had a happy day, too!!

MarsGal · March 18, 2024, 06:05:45 PM

Hooray!

The house is empty, met with the real estate agent, lock box is on the door, cleaner will come in and clean up the place to get ready to show. I've spent most of the afternoon on the sofa, watching some TV or napping, and just generally relaxing, finally!

RAMMEL · March 18, 2024, 07:07:31 PM

Join the NAP GANG for a while

JaneS · March 18, 2024, 09:03:20 PM

I'm going to join the "NAP" gang for a while but I'm going to try to NAP right through the night! I'm tired and ready to sleep and on the days Cooper comes over I'm usually up at 5:30 so I can be dressed, have my bed made and eat breakfast before he gets here.

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and PLEASE, stop by and share your day with us![/b

Tomereader1 · March 18, 2024, 11:29:44 PM

Sometimes it takes me all day to get nothing done.

Amy · March 19, 2024, 06:24:24 AM

Good morning..

Been a rough few days here with Babe not well.....long story short.. after our vet checked her out there is nothing one can do. We may have a few weeks but nothing is promised. When discussing the out come vet said we could do it now,just then Babe looked up at me as if to say no not yet please. I made a sling/lift so I could help this 80lb dog up and we do have ramps in the house to help.

Patricia, I did a quick glance at my 752 emails and than you for inquiring..I am ok. Just grab sleep when I can and be with my dog.

JaneS · March 19, 2024, 08:00:10 AM

AMY I've been worried about you too and planned to email you today! I'm so sorry about your sweetie. It's so hard to see them suffer! Love her while you can! And then remember her!

MarsGal · March 19, 2024, 09:09:12 AM

Amy, I am so sad to hear about Babe.

patricia19 · March 19, 2024, 12:47:18 PM

Amy, I am so sorry to hear about Babe. We have them for such a short time in our lives, and there is so much love we squeeze into that small amount.

so_P_bubble · March 19, 2024, 01:14:02 PM

((((Amy))))

phyllis · March 19, 2024, 02:36:34 PM

Amy, I am sorry you are gong through this sad time.

Tomereader1 · March 19, 2024, 03:52:11 PM

So sorry, Amy. Hugs for you, and a soft "love pat" to Babe.

JaneS · March 19, 2024, 08:11:50 PM

Good Night Everyfriend! I get to sleep in tomorrow. Frankie is off and is coming by in the afternoon to give Cooper a bath and then he'll stay here while she goes to the grocery store! Sleep well!

RAMMEL · March 19, 2024, 08:13:10 PM

Early to bed, early to rise.

patricia19 · March 19, 2024, 10:42:40 PM

Said to make a man, health, wealthy and wise.

Along with copious amounts of coffee.

Amy · March 20, 2024, 07:04:58 AM

Good morning..

Thank you Jane, Patricia, MG, Bubble, Phyllis and Tome..for the good thoughts and hugs. GREATLY appreciated!! We take it one day at a time and thankful for it.

We go to the accountants this morning..sign papers...hope we smile from the results and they send them off electronically.

A bit of snow here,light dusting and hope that is it!

Enjoy your day and stay safe

phyllis · March 20, 2024, 10:41:16 AM

I, with the help of Turbo Tax, finished my tax report yesterday. It was e-filed and accepted by Federal gov't and state so that worrisome job is done. YEA!

Sunny and beautiful here and most of all the azaleas and all of the flowering trees, and other shrubs are in bloom. Beautiful to look at but my allergies aren't happy about it.

Take care. All.

patricia19 · March 20, 2024, 01:29:09 PM

Good morning from an Interior at seventeen degrees and with a projected high of forty. I've done all the morning chores, one or two remain with the computer. And I've done my meets and greets for the day. I'm in the middle of laundry, two loads done, one in the washer and one in the dryer, with a last load for each.

I've wished as usual that I had both a washer and dryer in my apartment and didn't have to fight with everyone else roaming the five floors for an available machine or two. Not only that, but I procrastinate because I'm always hoping to get in and out and never seem to accomplish it.

Amy, enjoy your time with Babe, I'll be seeing my accountant the first part of April and not looking forward to it.

Phyllis, I wish for some of that flowering coloration here, but we're finally out of the last cold spell, so they say, and on to warmer weather.

JaneS · March 20, 2024, 02:42:37 PM

Good "whatever it is" time of day! I'm having another BLAH day! My eyes aren't doing what they were put there to do and I truly dislike this kind of day! I'm looking forward to my upcoming trip to Okla. but I'm not looking forward to getting ready for it! I guess that's nothing new. I never did like packing!

Our weather is cooler yesterday and today. In fact, we had some snow flurries both days and during the night. BLAH! What happened to SPRING?

I hope you are all having a better day than I am. I plan for a good day tomorrow...whatever it brings! I'm sorry to be so dreary today! I promise I won't be dreary tomorrow!

JaneS · March 20, 2024, 08:59:34 PM

Good Night to myself and everyone who didn't show up today!
