Good evening, Janey…((HUGS))...good parachute weather?

If the weather stays above freezing here, winter may be over.

[luvie]

So that’s what it is! LOL!

[luvie]

Howdy, radu!

I know I started a post to you, but I don’t know where the heck it went. LOL! it was pretty here. Coolish and cloudy to begin with, but it was sunny in the afternoon.

I’m glad that you finally had a gorgeous day! It’s been a long time coming! Hope you have some more of them. Did any of the kittehs get to go out and feel the earth beneath their feets?

[radu]

Glad it was a nice day there. Bet the kittehs enjoyed the sunshine this afternoon.

e haven’t been letting our few who were allowed outside to go out for a while. Too hard to get them to come in at night and there are just too many coyotes around here these days for them to be safe. We’ve lost too many of our sweeties to those vile creatures over the years.

We do have decent weather ahead though some of the nights will drop into the 30s. We have a little while yet before those are a thing of the past.

Just finished putting some stuff together for the Republican women’s meeting in the morning that I’d forgotten I was supposed to present. *sigh* Should already be in bed and that’s where I’m heading once the cats are dealt with.

Catch ya tomorrow evening, I reckon, unless I start more digging in Clara’s mess. LOL

[luvie]

I was hoping that the farmers had killed those coyotes by now so your cats could have a bit of a romp, but yes, better to keep them safely inside. I’ve read that some areas have an overabundance of red-tailed hawks, too, that are taking small animals. Up north, though.

I didn’t see much of the kitties once they had eaten. It was still a bit cool, so they probably went for a nap together.

See ya tomorrow night! Sorry you’re getting to bed later than you planned. Welcome to my world. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv....so important that they ALWAYS be remembered. And we WILL!!

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

[luvie]

We sure will. As long as there is breath! Great thread, Kathy! Thank you for always honoring them! (((hugs)))

See ya tomorrow night! *yawn*

[Kathy in Alaska]

I will never understand how they stay in the air.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Cool moon shot....I’m about ready to head to bed, so will look for the moon on the way.

Rest well when you get there.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep tight. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...maybe there won’t be so many folks at the park so you and Gizmo can practice running. d:o)

You guys have a terrific Thursday.

[SkyDancer]

Hai and Good Morning (((HUGS))). Yep, beautiful weather here-hi’s in the upper 70’s but rain f’cast for Friday eve and Sat but we’ll see how it goes. I have to head to Denver on Wed for testing.

[PeteePie]

Right? At first my brain interpreted “F-15.”

[luvie]

I think mine did, too. Maybe the tail configuration. But it goes well with the moon, doncha think? :)

[luvie]

Yep, Early Birds...it's getting very close!
Have you got plans?
Will it be nice and warm there?
It will here.
Supposed to rain tomorrow.
Not holding my breath. LOL!
Y'all have a Dandy Day!
((((hugs))))
