everyone should be so lucky

as to have a big fluffy cream colored cat to cuddle with at night
like a giant stuffed animal that purrs
although he did keep me up a good part of the night.
he likes to sleep in my arms on my pillow, under the covers.....between me and bernie.
i don't sleep well when he isn't there though

i hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
we cleaned the deck and brought the patio furniture out, only to find that the umbrella canopy had a hole. i stapled it but i need a new one.
if we get a new cover i will take the old one and sew a sunbrella fabric one
bernie keeps looking at red or navy but i am looking at the khaki.....
although if we change the color of the umbrella, i can spray paint the table and chairs......

we got a new pond for the duckies.....were they grateful? na...........
so yesterday we ate on the deck
we got two new curly hoses....i love those thing! one for the deck so i am not tripping over the hose
and one for the garden so i am not tripping out there
i think i am in love!!!! those hoses are COOL, i just wish they were purple instead of green but that's ok, as long as they work well

we also filled those new planters with dirt so that i can put in some more lettuces with the blueberries that i am putting in there.
we're going to have to fix the wooden part of the deck, which is the uprights and the 'gazebo' part

i ordered mosquito netting for the umbrella too, as this way we can sit out there without me getting eaten like candy.
i think it's time to roof that deck and screen most of it in.........i think
if we spend as much time out there as i think we'll be, i am going to have to put in a wireless router whether i like it or not- although i would prefer a jack or something else but we'll see

i am almost done with the hat i am knitting to match damask. it will be just in time to be putting ALL the hand knits in the freezer for the summer.

well i am most definitely having coffee with you all this morning.
i got up late- and had a small accident with the hot fancy feast and olive oil........i completely shattered a corelle bowl that was full of cat food..... poor calpurrnia as it was her cat food
but the corelle shattered into a zillion pieces.... so prior to coffee and without glasses i had to clean it up. i was too afraid one of the cats would get into it
i even tossed the broom and the dust pan outside to insure that they don't get it.
i'll be hosing it all down later
now i forgot the stuff to do the front door and trim, the coarse sand i need for the carrots..
the black spray paint i need for a few projects
oye
the list goes on
i should go to town to finish up today but it's so over cast and i am so sleepy yet that i won't
now i have to run, as it's late
(all my fault but really all thaddeaus' fault)

ttyl
