These cats are rumbling without the official, "let's get ready to rumble" announcement. They are due for a a nap. Thus we await the quiet time of the morning. I am pulling together my notes for Sunday and will begin writing out the lesson later this today. I'm thinking about connecting where we are in I Peter with the resurrection story from Mark. A couple of things grab my interest and am excited to study and learn. I am embarrassed that we only got through two verses. The last two weeks it been a lot of foundation laying of who and why of Peter and suffering. So, I guess the class has suffered with only two verses of coverage. I am not planning for Sunday to go that way.
I think the rest of the pasture across the way will soon be filled with homes. Sad, but people need places to live. Although, almost every home for sale has had a reduction in price. There are a few that have come on the market and I guessed they would be under contract quickly. Most of those are older homes than what is being thrown together these days.
This week hasn't had an early morning for which I am thankful. Next week there are several early appointments to be out the door for. So, what am I doing up so early this morning? I woke up around 3:30 am, fully rested yet hurting. Just the regular aches and pains but some mornings is worse than others.
Several have suggested I do little vignettes on our kiddos in the house. So, guess I will begin with the first little one to be rescued from the great outdoors, Mr Mo. He started off being Monet when I thought he was a girl. As a kitten he never seemed afraid of me and would run right up and if I was sitting, he would jump or rather crawl, which hurts, onto my lap. It had been several months since Buddy passed and I was considering bringing in one or possibly two kittens. The schedule for that moved up when Mama Cat took a swipe at Mr Mo on the back porch step. I was putting out treats and Mama Cat being old fashioned believed in cat verses kitten protocol. Mr Mo was a little too aggressive for her old fashioned ways, so she popped him one slicing open his bottom lip. I didn't know the extent of the damage until I went outside and he ran up to me with that little lip hanging down. Called the vet and got him in. The sewed up his little lip and while he was there did the spay/neuter thing. In hindsight, we should have waited until um...things developed. He is the kindest cat. When I had a melanoma removed from my leg, he laid right by my leg for several weeks. While I am studying he cozies his way next to me and cuddles up for a nap. He is usually the first to greet me in the mornings as I open the bedroom door. When we brought GMoey in, Mr Mo picked on him unmercifully, that is until the day when GMoey grew into his size. Then Mr Mo wanted peace. They get along but every once in a while, there is a skirmish or two. Mostly playing...but...there are times. He is a jealous cat and somewhat needy. He lets the other cats intimidate him to give up his food bowl to them. Mr Mo falls asleep next to me while studying. I hope that his interest or lack of isn't predictive of the lesson on Sunday mornings.
Looks like this Easter Sunday will be a warm one. Finally all of the spring clothing hanging around in closets will get their cue to make an entrance. I am considering a floral dress but most likely I will wait to wear floral. Well, don't count me out on that. I am mood wearer of clothes.

It's after Easter. Taught I Peter with Mark for the lesson and now we are back to I Peter. This week's lesson is mostly written out except for the last part. That will be my project for the afternoon.
This morning was a very early morning. Roy had his last check up for his cataract surgery and he is doing well. We were at the Dr office at 7:30 for the 7:45 appointment. He was finished a little after 8:00, so we headed to Moose Cafe for breakfast. I don't think we have been there since before Covid. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast. In fact, Roy ordered the all you can eat breakfast. It has been a while since I have seen him eat that much food. Then the next stop of the day in Mars Hill. We went to TJ's Mountain Produce and bought tomato plants as well as pepper plants too. Quick stop at Ingles and since it was just a little after 10:00 am and there were parking spaces we stopped in to pick up a few items at the new bakery. Wow, just had some focaccia bread with lunch. Very tasty. Since we were taking the scenic way home we stopped at another nursery, The Farm Connection and found the Cherokee Tomato plants. It is too soon to really put them out but we can do what we did last year, make cuts into bags of potting soil and plant them in there. If we have coolish, frost temps, we can roll those babies into the enclosed front porch. In fact just came in from doing the Cherokee Purple and the red, yellow and green bell peppers in two bags, then it began to rain. We are to get another break so we will be out there to finish up the work. Other than early and a Dr appointment, it was a fun morning getting out and somewhat getting back into the swing of things. I have been using the Rowe Casa elixirs every morning. I don't get as tired in the afternoons and it feels like I am revived, feeling a bit like I did before getting that stupid vaccine.
Mike was here this week both mowing and removing a couple of damaged tree limbs. We officially had the tulips cut back and a few other yard things. With warmer temps we are just itching to get back into the gardening saddle. We have a couple of new raised garden beds to put together along with a trellis for greasy beans.
It looks like the skies have cleared, so back out to finish planting in the potting soil bags the rest of the tomatoes.
