Bonkers Cat House


Bonkers Cat House

We spared no expense in building a house for our cat.
Actually we built it using lumber from previous projects.
We have it on the screen porch.
Of course Bonkers comes in for the night.
On cold sunny days he likes to take a nap in there.
It's completely insulated in the walls, floor, and roof.
It has a thick foam bed with a faux sheep skin cover.
It was facing east but now faces south.
Obviously we love our little boy dearly.

Difficult Times


Difficult Times
Daniel Fitzgerald

My grandmother once gave me a tip:
In difficult times, you move forward in small steps.
Do what you have to do, but little by little.
Don’t think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow.
Wash the dishes.
Remove the dust.
Write a letter.
Make a soup.
You see?
You are advancing step by step.
Take a step and stop.
Rest a little.
Praise yourself.
Take another step.
Then another.
You won’t notice, but your steps will grow more and more.
And the time will come when you can think about the future without crying.
Happy winter gardening 🎄🎄🎄🎄
