Howdy, LUV.

We don’t even need to look outside to know the moon’s full. The kittehs’ rambunctious behavior says it all. LOL

[PROCON]

With all the kittehs you have to feed, you ought to buy stock in Purina or such, Heh!

LOL, I know the smell of manure or that similar fertilizer, STINKY!

What kind of crops is he growing this season?

[MEG33]

Wonderful..We did hit a chilly spell but no freeze.

Rain is heading our way tonight.

Good luck on desk clearing
((((HUGS)))))

[radu]

With all the cat food and Tidy Cat litter we buy, we should buy stock in Purina. LOL

Yeah, manure stinks BAD but I prefer them fertilizing with it rather than chemical stuff. The former guy who rented from us used that stuff and I will always believe it caused the cancers several of our cats died from.

We’ll have soybeans in our fields this year. He rotates them with corn and we had corn last year. LOTS of it. He knows what he’s doing and always gets a great yield.

[radu]

There’s a nasty-looking line of storms firing up across TX now. I hope things don’t get too bad over there.
That’s coming through here tomorrow and I hope for some good “light shows” out of the deal. :-)

[SkyDancer]

Hai! Still nothing but hoping ....LOL

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Howdy, radu!
Finally, things have slowed down here!
It had been pretty hectic for awhile!
We are all fine thanks, and I hope you are, too!

[MEG33]

I think we are going to miss the worst of it..The radar shows us on the weak end of the line so far.

[PROCON]

?

[PROCON]

?

[radu]

Get to catch your breath at last, huh? That’s good!

All’s well here. Just wish Spring would get here and STAY. We get teasers for a couple of days, then it gets cold again.

[radu]

That’s good. Maybe the weak end won’t fire up like the rest of the line. Lookin’ a bit ugly.

[radu]

I'll give ya a big 'un tonight since I gave you minis the last two nights. :-)

PRO snags the 50!

[luvie]

Thank you, Sis! It was great...a nice lazy day off! LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

We thought spring was here last week. Then we got 12” of snow on Saturday. Since Monday we have had mid to high 40s during the day. Spring might be back....maybe?

LOTS of papers here. LOL!

((HUGS))

[luvie]

Mine haven’t been especially rowdy...,maybe it doesn’t affect them too much, or I just don’t notice it.

[PROCON]

Heh, I’m surprised LUV didn’t give more competition!

[radu]

Be VERY glad yours don’t get wound up. Ours do on the full moon AND new moon nights. Lily’s the main instigator but Miller and Lake “help”. Before long, they’re all running back and forth through the house. I just sit here tucked in my corner to stay out of their way. LOL

[The Mayor]

Why Thank you. I didn’t think I made it in on time.

[radu]

I was surprised, too.

I was busy trying to get Darla to eat a little bit of baby food and missed it altogether. :-(
