It is a busy day at the mouse-house. The retired-guy was there early to lend a hand finishing the interior of the building and signing for our order from Ikea for the kitchen cupboards. Now that the apt. is insulated it will be fun to put these pieces together. We really like the cupboards and shelves we chose and you can't beat the price.
The sun is out in all it's glory. Sun-puddles are being worshiped today all through the house.
Some cats prefer the couch and some prefer the window seats.
(Do you see the little tea-pot in the background to the right? I'll tell you the story on that soon.)
But, it is frigid out there. Everything has turned to ice.
It is impossible to walk a 14 year old dog in this weather. The roads and sidewalks are full of chunky ice and your footing is very unpredictable. I can't take a chance with him as a fall could be very serious for him. He sits around the house, moping and bored but there is little I can do for him. A combing, lots of pets, a hardy lunch and a few extra snacks will get him through another cold, wintry day. We'll get out again on the first nice day. Perhaps a drive in the car is on the agenda this afternoon.
Of course, being 'National Hot Tea Month' I would like to introduce a new tea to me. It was a gift from a friend at Christmas and turns out it is an amazingly delicious blend. It is a black tea from South Africa called...
It is delicious.
It is a smooth black tea that goes well with milk if you prefer it that way.
My tea company today was Joe. Or, as Audrey likes to think, Big Bad Joe. But he is one of the most charming felines I have met and full of personality. Or would that be 'piss and vinegar'. Whatever...I love him. For those who are new here, Joe is my daughter's cat that is living with us presently along with his buddy, Rae-Rae. When we move, they will be staying at the old house.
I found this little box tucked away in a cupboard and will ship the tea-cup and saucer in it to it's new home. It's a good sturdy box and will help it to arrive without damage. And since tea is just so darn good for you....I snuck a bit in with the gift.

These are two books I am presently reading.
