The sun’s just starting to rise and the outside world has become visible again. Cold again this morning.

One of the little darlings has been slinking around for the past two days and hiding. I was getting quite worried. Couldn’t figure out if one of the other cats pulled a bulling routine, if she was ill or if it was accu-suck overload, etc. What ever it was, last night she reappeared moving through the general cat population, tail up, head high and acting totally normal.

I have decided to take out the row of stitching on the weaving project and approach the construction from a different angle. Now you know what I will be doing with a seam ripper this evening.

I had to laugh at my Dearest last night. We were watching a movie set in the swamps of Louisiana with a thick Cajun patois and he turned on the subtitles. LOLROF! I know he has always had trouble discerning southern speech but this really cracked me up.

Speaking of cats, our little boy is here beside me giving me the business because I haven’t fed him yet.

Have a lovely day!
