weather, insane cats, and general odds

i don't know if i should be starting planting
or sitting tight and waiting
it's been so warm

in the garden the garlic is up
from what i can see the leeks are as well as the multiplier onions
maybe i better hay mulch?

now this morning, while trying to stoke the stove
thaddeaus who is again bald...........( don't ask........)
is running around like some sort of kamikaze cat,
UP the chair over the top
down through the studio up on the cat tree
over to the windows
shake and repeat

i got whacked in the shin by his streaking little body while trying to get a few more logs in the stove

the girls are laying around just watching his insanity
i can hear fawn telling me ' that boy just ain't right'

and calpurrnia.............'oh look a LEAF!' ( good thing she's pretty )

when i got done with the stove i started hanging laundry on the 'over the woodstove house clothesline'
bernie as he ALWAYS does
asks me when we are getting that thermal fuse for the dryer (it's a 9$ part as he keeps reminding me)
hahahaha
i been avoiding it for what? 2 years now

i like hanging clothes!
and i don't like drying them in the dryer

i especially LOVE them outside on the line
it's not only a green thing for the planet
i just love the smell
i love the actual motions of hanging out the clothes
and i love the sight of the line full of clean clothes

ok so i'm nuts
but it does make me happy

and the lower electric bills make me happy as well

i guess he is right...... during rains i got issues
but i don't trust bernie with that dryer

i know him

he would have that laundry in the dryer right out of the wash ( he has to get it out, i can't reach down in the bottom)
and no line drying......so no thermal fuse..........no worries about being 'accidently' whisked into the dryer

he hates line drying
i love line drying

hmmmmmmmmmm

well he got patio furniture, so i get clothes lines
so there
( ok so i use the patio furniture to watch my drying laundry.....he isn't as amused)

i do wish however that the WASHER was up in the studio
not only for ease of use
but also so i didn't have to stand there freezing my assets off talking to the chickens while i am felting some boots or something

although the chickens like it
