Grooming the Ghost
 |
| Ghost being brushed |
Ghost loves being brushed. When I stopped (last pic), she turns and looks at me like "Why'd you stop?"
***************************
Neighbor came by a few minutes ago with some rice krispie treats. We talked by the front door (staying physically distant) for a few minutes. She and her husband are home with their 3 college-age kids. We appreciate them checking on their 'elderly' neighbors...
*****************************
Beyond that:
Made another peach pecan dump cake!
Sent off another mask to a friend in New Orleans. Her daughter is very sick in a group home down there. Please pray for her.
Got an email notifying me that the yarn I ordered to finish the baby blanket I'm crocheting should be delivered tomorrow. (hurray!)
The sun came out for a little while this afternoon... wanted to walk, but ended up watching "Groundhog Day" on TV and sewing yet another medical mask.
and so goes another day under house arrest (I mean 'sheltering at home'). Don't get me wrong, I think it's the right and best thing to do under the circumstances. Letting down our guard now would just negate all the good we may have accomplished.
So please hang in there, stay home, practice social/physical distancing, and pray that people have the good sense to take the necessary precautions.
Hugs,
Rian
Oh, I couldn't remember if I had ever posted my finished (well, not finished as they still have to be fired) chickens and fox (also pie bird and salt box). I had to send a pic of these to our pottery instructors since our class is now online. So here's the ones I sent her. (If I already posted this, forgive me for the oversight).
No, I don't think I saw the completed critters. And I can sure tell how much Ghost likes to be brushed. I can almost hear the purrs over here. :-)
ReplyDeleteShe does love it... the other cats liked it OK, but Ghost LOVES it... her coat is very thick and it's amazing how much fur comes off her. I'm sure it makes it easier for her to clean herself.
DeleteI think we're all feeling a bit of cabin fever. We will persevere through this but we don't have to like it.
ReplyDeleteLove the little birds! Take care and stay well.
My cheeky chickens keep my spirits up... they are a funny bunch. And yes, we shall persevere!
DeleteGhost and Derry are alike in that, loving to be brushed. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour critters are wonderful, though I do like the sleeping fox the best. Sweet.
I'm definitely getting cabin fever. I walked some distance to a local coffee shop yesterday on my lunch hour; they've remained open for take-out. Donned a mask, took disinfecting wipes with me and got a tea latté, then walked home. It was a beautiful day and it just felt so good to get out. There were more people out walking their dogs or jogging as I heading home than anywhere else! We all kept FAR apart, 20+ feet apart, so it's good that people in my area are respecting that physical distancing order.
Please stay safe and be well. "This too shall pass" and all that.
The sleeping fox will soon have some friends. Don't like him being alone. As for the cabin fever, I'm OK with it. Not that I wouldn't like a Starbucks Mocha Frapp. Yes, they are open for take-out, but we don't even do that these days. I do think it's good to get out and walk... but every time I do that (like today) I end up with a scratchy throat due to the pollen. Best to just stay in... and find an inside sunspot like the cats.
DeleteYes, I agree that staying in is best at the moment. That cake sounds wonderful! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJenn, that peach pecan dump cake is the best and easiest thing to make (and this is from a chocoholic).
DeleteThe chickens are always a treat!
ReplyDeleteMy chickens are fun... (maybe just for me, but they keep me happy).
DeleteThanks for the reminder. Minnie needs brushed more. I noticed a chunk of hair fall out the other day as she walked. She is really shedding and needs the daily brushing. She loves it too.
ReplyDeleteDon't remember the finished chicks and fox. I'd have noticed the fox for sure. They are so cute and the baby chicks especially.
Minnie will really appreciate it... and it's very calming for you also. As for my cheeky chickens and their new friend (the fox), I hope to have some new friends for him soon.
DeleteMy cat does everything to avoid a brushing.
ReplyDeleteand he’s long haired too, isn’t he? Tux wasn’t crazy about it either, but peer pressure got to him.
DeleteLove your work! I hear them cackling! Oh yes...Ghost is like Isaiah...loves brushing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anni.
