Good Saturday Morning, Everyone,
Rusty sure wanted us up this morning: squirms, headbutts, kisses, chirps about an hour before the "ducks" sounded the alarm. He had eaten all of his nighttime food, but I don't know when, so I don't know how much of the AMPS 153 is food influenced. He was already on the way up last night when we went to bed (sometimes this happens and it could be that the Lev. hadn't yet kicked in at +4.5--sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't). Anyway, we had a good test, shot, breakfast (triple turkey combo plate of Wellness, By Nature, and FF T&G). It's very cold outside (we had a freeze last night and it was 25 degrees when we got up this morning). Rusty is happy to be in his little bed by the radiator. I felt so sorry for "our" robin (the one who has been attacking his reflection in our storm window), that I cut up some grapes and put them in the spot on the grass he has been "working" by turning over the frozen surface. When I looked out the window he was eating the grapes! This morning I heard a loon for the first time this year. Yay!!! That means spring!!!
The paddling-film festival was terrific: some of the white-water films were spectacular, including one of paddling down huge waterfalls in Iceland. Unbelievable! The film of the through-paddle on the Northern Forest Canoe Trail was inspiring (Old Forge NY to Port Kent, Maine). The sections in Maine looked tough! My favorite film was an environmental plea for the pristine Great Bear wilderness in British Columbia. This waterway is threatened by a plan to pipe oil from the Alberta tar sands (an ecological catastrophe) to the inland waterway that flows through the Great Bear wilderness, where the oil would be put on giant tankers for transport to China. The way of life of the native peoples would be destroyed (not to speak of the environment). The paddler who made the journey down the waterway to call attention to what is "planned" for this region, did the entire trip on a stand-up paddleboard. (SUP).
Everyone have a good start to the weekend. No paddling for us this weekend. Highs are expected to be around 40 and lows tonight and tomorrow night in the teens to low 20s! At least it looks like the snow has ended.
Sending positive thoughts and healing vines to Tena's Sid and to all kitties and beans in need,
Ella & Rusty
