Helia, how nice to enjoy the wildlife, both fur and fowl. We have native eagles here but I don’t see them often, I do see a lot of hawks, doves and cardinals year round. Lol at the squirrels not being interesting. We have several huge ones mooching off the turkey feed grr.
There’s a raccoon in the trap in the turkey yard. I was going to let him out but he kept growling and snapping so I take that to mean he wants dh to deal with him. So be it. Hr is in a shady spot so will be ok until dh gets home.

Hello, all. Thank you for starting us off, Kittykatt, and for the introduction to another new (to me) poet.
Woohoo on the vet visit with no loss of limbs!
I fed your lyrics into ChatGPT, and this is what it came up with: Those lyrics are from Je ne veux pas travailler by Pink Martini.
But I found that song on youtube and I don't hear your lyrics, so I think that it's wrong.

That's quite the list, Bama. Is it all for today? I'll be happy to cheer you on, however far you get with it.
You have such interesting animals. There are no raccoons where I live now, but my apartment is at the level of the tops of the trees, so I'm getting more interesting view of the squirrels.

WTG on helping dpup over her fear of jumping over a barrier, kitkat. Germane has always simply stopped dead and waited to be carried over any tiny obstruction that blocks her path.

Another busy day, helia, but a quiet evening to recharge the batteries.

We still have plenty of snow here, L.Ann, and we're willing to share.

Tuesday
Breakfast for dog. She sampled her slow cooker and pronounced carrots and pork good,
She had even eaten the dog food that was in her plate overnight.
Put some cooked rice in a bowl of her broth to soak
Second serving: Having had a piece of pork, Germane no longer eats carrots or dog food.
Cleaned up after dog

Dogged - I really like Pink Martini:)
You don't have racoons? We have one at my neighbour. S/he lives in the attic. I see him/her from time to time staring down at me and my dog:) (I keep my garbage cans locked)
LAnn your chickpea bowl sounded yummy:)
Peaches! I haven't seen you for a a while. Hope you are well.

I'm back from carwash. Car looks good (for now) . Many others had the same idea. Good thing I brought my book with me.
Did the drug store stop,
got gas. (Prices are going up, up...)
Washed the floor.
Ordered ticket for DGD's recital

I got a text from DD I need to pick up my DGD from school as she is caught in traffic.
I shall return...

Interesting to have poets/ philosophers this week
We had a racoon get into mother's garage one autumn. S/he slept on a shelf among autumn decorations, and made a big mess on the floor. WOW was I ever surprised when I went out in the morning to see it! I opened the big garage door, waited inside the house for a little while, and when I went back, it had left peacefully and gone to wherever racoons go. Then I cleaned the garage, and hosed out the racoon pee

I have a very long list for today, and not a long list of TADAs yet. But I have eaten well
MrVKM and I had a nice weekend. He remembered that we had seen the play before - done by our high school, and done better than by the community players we saw on Sunday. But we did have a good time being together anyhow.

I've had a good, long conversation with a 95 years old lady who knew my mother, and who went to my college. The semi-annual alumni magazine came out yesterday, and she saw Mother's obituary, so she called me.
I have eaten enough calories, but am still looking for energy... or focus ... or motivation ... or something. Perhaps we call it butt glue dissolver?

I'll post my list, maybe that will inspire me.
Clear K table
Clear DR table
Load DW
Sweep floor
take out garbage
clear counters
Bank - probably will end up being tomorrow
Shower-shampoo
Clean bathroom
Bake muffins
Senior day at Co-op grocery, for fresh fruits and vegetables. Also where I like to buy my milk.
go for a walk - maybe that will energize and inspire me? Or freeze me...
$ to church for Easter flowers order - probably tomorrow when I go there anyway
Unload part of DR hutch cabinet onto the DR table when it's clear, so I can really dust it well, wipe off all the things that are there, and only put abck those things that will look nice, and put others away somewhere.

yeah, that's about 2 or 3 days' list, especially if I don't get started.
