One More Kitty Picture

It's been an exciting week so far.  I've spent a few hours watching the orchids grow and a few MORE hours playing with Cooper.  Jessie's not much fun as she prefers to sleep.

The orchid has gone crazy, blooming right and left, an amazing feat considering my thumb isn't even the slightest shade of green.

Every morning I run outside to see if this guy has blossomed out.  Every morning it just gets bigger.  Around here, you cannot be without your fly swatter, or in this case wasp swatter.  Their sentries are looking for a nice home on MY home and I object.  Chasing them around is my new morning exercise.

I did recently discover THIS cactus is called bunny ears.  Believe me, it's nothing LIKE soft fuzzy bunny ears.  This is one that sticks you with at least ten spines every time you get too close.  

This guy is blooming beautifully, but I can't find a name.  I can't even find a picture.  He's happy for sure, but rather disjointed and growing in all directions at once.  I found several different cactus on my walks that I would love to have in my yard were I a little more motivated.  

Finally, in a fit of boredom and feeling like I was the last person left on earth (it gets that way when you're single and home alone) I WALKED all the way to the Chance residence.  It's really not that far.  It was nice to be outside, but I saw not one single person ... or car for that matter.  

Happily I was met by Miss Snoopy, the best kitty in the west ... so here's one more kitty picture.  This is one of the sweetest cats I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.  Unlike most kitties, she does not get more than two feet from her Mom at all times!!!

The most exciting thing on the schedule today is to hit the grocery store between 6 and 9:00 (Senior time) to see if I can come up with eggs and sugar.  Hopefully there won't be any cane waving or pushing and shoving.  Most likely there won't be any eggs either, since the hoarders are still hard at work.

The good news is that no pasta or eggs won't bother me a bit.  Last week I got not one, but TWO bags of flour.  THIS week I discovered I could become vegan and make my own pasta WITHOUT eggs.  Won't THAT be tasty!!!  

Pasta and bread have not been on my menu for many months ... too many carbs.  When times are tough however, you have to sacrifice.  Unfortunately that probably means I'll gain that 20 pounds back.  

One last thing ... there are over 39 million people in California.  At last count, if you believe the news reports, there are 2000 cases of the virus resulting in 33 deaths.  Arizona, with over 7 million people has 152 cases of the virus resulting in 2 deaths so far.  

I hope the numbers remain low and the stores catch up so we can put this all behind us and get back to living, instead of screaming at everyone to GO AWAY!!  It has definitely been interesting to see how the residents of our country are handling this situation.
