Feathers.... I can remember Roni (Moonie) saying to watch for feathers when some one, human or furkid, crosses the the Bridge. Ann (Maggie) reminded me the day we lost Barbara. They are a form of communication, indicating that the spirit of the departed is near. Watch for feathers... I had seen one that day, a feather from an old cat toy I hadn't seen in months. It was laying in the middle of my living room floor. I took it as a sign from Barbara, that she had made it, that she was Ok, all was well. I have had a feather almost every day since. What is so odd, unique, amazing is that it is the same type of feather, each time. Exactly the same, different spots, different locations, no matter where I am. Odd in that I had one yesterday, on a remote section of the trail. There it was, on top of a log,that was blocking my path, just sitting there on top of that fallen tree. It was so windy up there, yet it hadn't blown away. They are always down feathers, always white: soft, gentle, yet strong and comforting when they need to be. Just like Barbara. Thank you my dear friend for letting me know all is well, and that you are happy. ~~~~ I have heard a little more from Barbara's friend in FL. Tuffy is doing well. She's taking her shots well, eating well, and likes her new home. Two of the other cats went to live with her son Rich. The other three are currently being fostered by Barbara's friend who has Tuffy. They will remain there until the right home is found. There is a strong possibility that they will remain with Tuffy. How cool is that? I have no further word on Khoko, but assume all is well there too, Barbara planned for them so well. Miss you Barbara!
Good Morning LL

OH! No worries, a dollop of orange and vanilla and chocolate swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, topped with crystallized oranges and chocolate drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......
I hope your day yesterday was a good one. Mine was good. It was a mini road trip day for me, the need for a hike was foremost on my mind. I just needed to find a spot that wasn't under siege by rain. :lol: Success! It felt really good to be on the road. The drive was nice, blue skies, with really pretty clouds! A great drive, a great day. Here's what I wrote about the day in my post last night: "Hi everyone! I hope your day has been a good one. We did great. I elected early on to head on out, in search of sunny skies, and maybe some hiking time.
We ended up doing fairly well here weather wise. Sunny skies and mid 50's , after a wet rainy and gloomy start. We have a gorgeous sky out there tonight. I ended up going to Whidbey Island. At the time it was the sunny spot, so went to hike Ebey's Landing. I like that place. even in rotten weather it is nice. Had a nice cliff hike, weather was good. I had forgotten though how WINDY it is at Whidbey, especially when one if on the edge of the island, Dang that was blowing. It was a fun time though. Saw alot of eagles too. The surf was pounding too, sure was pretty. On a lark on the way home I stopped at the Deception Pass Bridge, and walked that.It is a suspension type bridge, very high up, and covers the Northwest Passage waters. It really was just too nice out not to stop. I walked up and back, both sides. In the process I found the Goose Rock trails. After all this time... I have never known where they were before. Sheeshhh! What I did was nice, easy peasy, but nice. I will have to go back and do them all some time. it was a nice place. So went the day. I am ever so glad I just took off this morning. Sure beats staying home. "
Normalcy in MusketeerVille!
The kitties were good kitties yesterday, even Lola, for the most part...Lola will always be Lola. I had gone hiking yesterday. Silly bean... this DST will be the end of me. I had all the clocks changed etc, but well.... forget to reset the camera date and time, and since that is what I use as my "watch" when on a hike, I was an hour off! The camera display was saying it was 2PM, plenty of time to get home, when actually it was 3PM, and I WAS LATE! I so knew that when I got there they'd be waiting at the top of the stairs... blood oath in paws... waiting. and they were. :lol: :lol: :lol: "SEE!" they said, "here's that oath, signed in blood. The one you signed for Mannie saying you would ever ever be late, ever. That dinner fuds would be on time, fresh, never smushed up, and ready to go at the appointed hour! Mannie willed it to us, and therefore we can exercise all it's provisions! Suffer the consequences! " Needless to say, when confronted with that oath, and three pacing kitties, I hustled up and ran to the kitchen, dishing up the best fuds ever. I never waited to see what the consequences would be. :shock: Within minutes all was well. Full bellies win every time. Normalcy in MusketeerVille!
Have a great day everyone. It is a "social" day for me - Breffis with my son,and then later in the day off to Seattle for coffee with my friend. YAHOO!
