31 here. My mom bought me a Meyers lemon tree many years ago and bitches at me about keeping it alive. She noticed it was still outside today when she stopped by to take me to lunch and couldn't resist bringing up my brown thumb. She's been mad at me about plants ever since she gave me my granny's begonia and I accidentally killed it. My granny died in 1997 and apparently, I somehow became the keeper of her begonia. I'm not exactly known for my gardening skills so I'm not sure why she entrusted me with the old begonia.

Tonights fire is a splendid blends of Oak , Cherry & Ash .

I will be heading out to split wood while Suzanimal the begonia killer tortures the lemon tree .

Tomorrow afternoon I am going to chuck some wood . Supposed to rain and then the bottom drop out again for three days . Mon night , middle of the night I have to run up to Bloomington for an appt . Maybe Danke will loan me a few bucks for gas .

Going to clean some coals out today in preparation for Tue - Fri evening .

Well, it looks like this snow flurry is escalating into a full blown drama. The Atlanta mayor issued a statement asking Yankees in town for the Superbowl not to make fun of us during this weather emergency.

We are under a Winter Weather Advisory from 3am to 7pm tomorrow. I went to Aldi today and it was packed. There was plenty of bread but the milk looked low. I didn't buy either. I bought some hummus, white cheddar popcorn, beans for chili, and a couple of boxes of salad. My stepfather texted me a pic from the Walmart in Cumming(s) and they were out of bread, lol. I told them they should stop on Saturday to get bread. I knew they were going to want it.

No milk sandwich for him . I hauled 7 buckets of coals out to the creek today . I have to say some of the finest charcoal I have seen lately , so I propped a couple bratwursts up over some on sticks and cooked them . Too bad Danke had to work .

Get back Wednesday. High now predicted to be -16.

Be a good Injun and have my car started and warmed up at the airport parking lot for me.

I fixed up a box with an old blanket and propped the door open so my stray cat, Brian Setzer could get in out of the cold. I'm trying to decide what to leave him to eat. I don't think it would be a good idea to leave him chili and I don't think he eats salad. I'm out of tuna. Mr A has a tube of liverwurst. I wonder if Brian Setzer would like some liverwurst.

That is a good idea for the future . I am working my part time 10 hr a week job Wed morning but you should probably get me a set of keys .

I bet he would like liverwurst . Probably though not what Mr A had in mind when he got it . My old barn cat liked liver and tuna . The newer barn cat likes tuna but is kind of picky , he seems to prefer chipmunks and fried chicken over most other things I see Mrs O feeding him .

Definitely not what Mr A had in mind when he bought the wurst of the liver but desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm almost in a winter weather advisory and have a stray cat to feed. Mr A went to bed and Brian Setzer seems content in his box. I was worried I'd scare him when I came out to check on him but he barely acknowledged me. I think he likes me.

Anyway, Mr A came home with a great idea./sarc He seems to be under the mistaken impression that I would have fun walking around downtown Atlanta Wednesday in the bitter cold (high of 42) doing "Superbowl stuff". I asked what "Superbowl stuff" consists of and all he said was walking around looking at stuff. I told him he could take someone else to do "Superbowl stuff" in the cold. I know that cheap ass well enough to know he plans on wandering aimlessly around Atlanta in the cold looking in windows to see what's going on and he's out of his mind if he thinks it's something I would enjoy doing. Not one part of that sounds the least bit fun to me.

Now, that's a bad ass name for a "Stray Cat".

I had a mangy feral-mamma show up on the Farm I was living on, I started leaving
cat food out, then I Fashioned a warm pad , then a box as she got more used to
hanging out, then a super warm little 'house' .
I would spend time with it every afternoon as time permitted, it tamed up pretty well,
eventually transitioned to the house , gained back weight , 18lbs, was probably 10 or 11
lbs or less in the beginning.
That was 14/15 years ago, so she is probably about 17 + years old.

Anyone that has a cat with urinary tract trouble (can't seem to pee) , go
get some 9 lives Plus Care, it straightened mine right out (its dry food in a bag).
I had bought medication that helped, then the feed store told me about 'Ash' in the food
saying that Ash will cause the problem, they had expensive dry food that worked, then
they told me about Plus Care, much more affordable.
Reading the labels though never clearly states that their is ash in the product from what I've
found. Plus care is the same price as the other dry 9lives cat foods.
I have also read that dry or wet cat food, makes no difference to their teeth, the claim is
that they don't really do any chewing to speak of, so dry supposedly by virtue of being dry
isn't really going to make a difference on the teeth. I try to find treats for all my animals,
what I think they'll love is not always a hit.

Nope. Pussy if it's a girl.

Brian Setzer is still here. He still won't let me touch him and, to be honest, I haven't tried very hard. I turned on the fake fireplace space heater for him this morning and he seems hypnotized by the dancing flames. I also noticed he likes to show off his butt hole. He keeps walking by me with his tail up so I can see it and then he looks back to see if I'm checking it out. I think Brian Setzer may be a bit of a perv.

Anyway, it's not that cold and it appears we are only starting to get drizzles. Hopefully, no one in Atlanta sees a snowflake and panics.

Seems like every day since Dec has been windy, yuck, then a nice
day comes along but the wind still kicks up around 9 or 10 am grrr....

Brian Setzer and I don't watch each other pee. I may stop and pick him up some cat food, though. I'll have to find a place to hide it so Mr A doesn't see it. He's already mad at me about the garage birds. We have house wrens that build a nest in our garage (I'm bad about leaving the garage door open) and when we had the doggie door, it wasn't too much of a big deal because the birds would use it to get in and out when Mr A closed the door. Anyway, when my doge passed away, Mr A got rid of the doggie doors to put any notion of another pet out of my head and now the birds get stuck in the garage at night. Several times Mr A has walked into the garage and the birds came in the house. He was doubly pissed when he found out I had been coating pine cones with peanut butter and feeding the birds in the garage. I like them. They have gotten used to me and will chirp when I come in the garage. Makes me feel like Snow White.
