I have so much to say about Sen­a­tor McCain and his cohort Sarah Palin and the low ball, dirty pol­i­tics that they are pulling that all I do is sput­ter and fume and get really, really mad. You’d think they were both a cou­ple of pissed off, get even, full of atti­tude teenagers from all […]

My hus­band and I recently attended “the world’s largest county fair” which is not too far from here. We go every year. I love the size of the fair. Big enough to have fun and feel as if you expe­ri­enced a fair, but not as large as a state fair where you can­not pos­si­bly see […]

Don’t know about all of you but I am sick to death of the con­stant bar­rage of emails smear­ing one can­di­date or another. Just once, I’d like a cam­paign where both sides tell exactly what they will do dif­fer­ent than the last pres­i­dent, that they will not be vague and if they have to be […]

Was awake a great deal of the night think­ing about a whole slew of cousins I have who live in Hous­ton, around Hous­ton and points in between there and Dal­las. Think they are in for a ter­ri­ble lash­ing. Please keep them safe and every­one in the threatened areas.

I have been won­der­ing for some days now if Tin­ker is preg­nant again, given that she is still nurs­ing 4 kit­tens. Here is the answer…
Q: Can a cat get preg­nant while still nurs­ing kit­tens?
A: Yes. Lac­ta­tion (pro­duc­tion of milk)
does not sup­press the heat cycle, and cats that are actively nurs­ing
kit­tens can go into heat as […]

I have been spit­ting and sput­ter­ing all morn­ing ever since I lis­tened to a short few minute inter­view on a news show this morn­ing. Two “experts” were being inter­viewed about the “new trend” where peo­ple, mostly women, go out for a night on the town and take off their wed­ding rings when doing so. The […]

There are many fun things about liv­ing in the coun­try, one being the pres­ence of barn cats. They are, some­times, a nec­es­sary evil to keep mice, rats and birds at bay. When I first moved here, we had well over 35 cats. Way too many. So we took some to other farm places. Soon after […]

Me thinks the Repub­li­can party has for­got­ten who is actu­ally run­ning for president.

Some­times my spirit is so trou­bled I hardly know what to do. Today is one of those days.Sigh.

If I were the world’s most famous painter, even I would not have attempted to paint the skies today that arrived with the cold front. Hav­ing trav­eled many places at many times of the year, I still say Iowa and Min­nesota have the most beau­ti­ful skies, espe­cially when that first true cold front of the […]
