puzzle progress of March, 2020...
There is a great deal of sky, green foliage, and brick work left. I shall persevere.
And now for some cat therapy, I give you Scooter "in a box, in a box".
I woke him up. I'm annoying that way.
You can add whatever caption you want here. It is my opinion that Scooter, if he were human, would not swear, so that likely wouldn't be part of what he's thinking right now. He's kind of simple.
Have a good Sunday and for crying out loud, get away from other people, besides those with whom you are already habitating (is that a word?).
Lizzie has been in quarantine for 90 months. She gets by. (She does have staff and when we run out of food the staff will pay the price.) Here's to Scooter, to you (good grief, you're productive. I have to get with the program!)
ReplyDeleteOh, poor Lizzie. Scooter is still allowed to "socialize". I don't think he really sees anyone besides squirrels, the chickens through the fence, and maybe orange cat. We may send him out if we need anything. Please don't be impressed by my productivity. It tends to be short lived.
ReplyDeleteI like your puzzle and ah sweet Scooter. He's probably thinking, woman what happened to social distancing!
ReplyDeleteMy cupboards are once again organized. I am thinking that social distancing of my plastic containers needs to be in put place - those darn things multiply like crazy. ... Mary-Lou =^..^=
How's your lid to bottom of container ratio doing?
Delete"Duh. Have I missed something?"
ReplyDeleteGood, as he is often oblivious.
DeleteCats would be really good at social distancing. You only have to mark a circle on the floor and they'll sit in it.
ReplyDeleteNormal cats would. Scooter's a bit odd. He does not like to sit on laps. So he's already a bit of a "distancer".
DeleteThat puzzle is really coming along! Does Scooter help you by walking across it and batting around the pieces? Cats are considerate like that.
ReplyDeleteActually, he's very good about not doing that. We had a cat, Samson (R.I.P.) who knocked things off of counter tops, etc. He broke my black watch by doing that.
DeleteCaption: 'You want somethin', Ma?'
ReplyDeleteVery pretty puzzle. I haven't worked a puzzle in . . . um, ah, well, . . . since I was a teenager. (And we all know that's been a long, long time!) But then maybe complicated blocks in quilting can be called a puzzle, too. I just left my quilt room because I needed a break from a new block I'm working on that the book should have labeled, "Difficult. May be damaging to your brain cells."
Oh, I have no doubt your brain gets a spatial work-out every time you work on a quilt!
DeleteThat photo of Scooter really made my day! LOL Cats have a way of making us smile :)
ReplyDeleteThey do, don't they? Would love to see yours on your blog sometime! Take care, Martha!
DeleteSounds like me. The highlight of the weekend was taking out the rubbish but at least our bins are up the road and round the corner.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, that counts as a road trip!
DeleteSUCH a cat. A box within a box is great, but any cat worth its salt would tell you a box within a box within a box would be even better.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely perfect! You truly did make me laugh out loud on that one!
DeleteGreat advice, we need calm, I am feeling a bit stressed.
ReplyDeleteor maybe helpless is the word.
ReplyDeleteI doubt you're the only one. I've been telling my husband that I've been having weird, disturbing dreams for the past week now.
DeleteIt's going to get harder isn't it? I'm thinking I might be very creative and productive. On the other hand I might just become a sloth for a few months.
ReplyDeleteI had all these ideas of things I could tackle here at home without having to go out to get anything. I haven't done any of them.... yet.
DeleteI love your puzzle... and the cat pics! Our Ghost doesn't sit on laps either... but she will lay by my side or at our feet... or stare at you until you get up and give her that spot. As for Scooter's caption, I feel it would be, "....yee-ees? do you want something?"
ReplyDeleteFunny isn't it, how some cats are lap cats and some aren't? Our cat Nelly was ridiculous. You could barely sit down before she had jumped up on you.
DeleteTux was like that. Sometimes he was a pain, but I miss him just the same.
DeleteHow come cats just love boxes..and bags!
ReplyDeleteI guess they never feel claustrophobic!
DeleteThe picture of the cat in a box in a box is perfect and just totally describes cat behaviour.
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean about cleaning. My cleaning lady has stopped coming because I am self isolating (and in any case her husband is in the at risk category) and no one is crossing the threshold so don't see a lot of point. I did vacuum up some crumbs from the rug and tomorrow intend to give the bathroom a good clean - exciting stuff as you say.
I have mostly wood floors, etc., but my rug in the den shows how my cat loses his fur not in individual strands, but in great giant clumps!
DeleteI’m also doing a jigsaw puzzle. It’s a 1000 piece puzzle and it’s become a bit of a meditative distraction in these crazy times. I also have two dogs who are helping to keep me sane. At the moment one of them is hiding behind my guitar and the other one is ripping up paper! I think it might be time to go out into the garden so we can all get some fresh air 😀
ReplyDeleteGuitar - I was just saying to the son, hey, wanna learn to play guitar? I'm I know it has a broken string (I think from son!!) but I'm pretty sure I have a spare string. I have no idea how to fix it, but that's what Youtube is for! Hopefully it's the correct string. Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about??
DeleteOMG what happened to that reply?? I was saying I have a guitar that I bought on a whim and it's been stored away... then the rest of the reply makes sense.
Delete"Who are you and what do you want? Go away, I'm busy" sounds like a good caption.
ReplyDeleteYes, and he's a deep sleeper.
DeleteMy cats' response is "get that flashy box away from me". ZZZZzzzzz
ReplyDeleteStay well!
Sleep is a cat's job! I wish I could sleep like a cat!
DeleteMost cats would not swear. They're eager to please too, when fully awake.
ReplyDeleteScooter tries his best. He brings us live mice sometimes.
DeleteI'm cleaning my apt. = spreading it out by doing one room a day - more for something to do.
ReplyDeleteAll my friends seem to be cooking & baking - now we're all worried about gaining too much weight! :-)
I've got a puzzle that I'm setting up tomorrow. Your's looks like a Trisha Romance picture.
I know who Trish Romance is, but this isn't one of hers. The only things I have baked have been in an effort to make freezer space, but they barely put a dent: zucchini muffins and strawberry / rhubarb crisp.
DeleteSnap! Snap! Snap! I was up at six this morning..
ReplyDeleteEarly breakfast..then l hit into my bedroom..
Sheets, quilt, hoover..general clean round..Sheets

Delete"Hurry up Mum, l'm in the middle
of a dream, chasing mice". :o).
I can't remember the last time I ironed. You are obviously in England with your Mother's Day comment. Here in Canada, Mother's Day is in May. Happy Mother's Day to you!
DeleteIn a box, in a box. OMG. Cuteness OVERLOAD. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks To God Almighty for using Doctor Razor's Quick cure for herpes to eradicate my herpes Simplex Virus...I got diagnosed with Herpes On February 17, 2016 and it resulted in a cluster of painful ulcers and many problems while urinating.. My situation almost caused me my marriage because my husband was having pressure coping with his work and my situation.. One morning, I read a testimony on a blog page online, of a natural cure from a Herbalist named Dr Razor who cured a 50 years old retired US Army official and he is now healed from dementia.. I immediately contacted him and I told him of my herpes, he encouraged me not to give up. I administered the natural Healing medication he sent to me and a few weeks later I went to the hospital for a check up and the result was clear.. It's been 4 years now and I am proud to let you know that I am still healthy and living happily with my husband and my 3 kids after the healing. I felt it best that I let you know that if you contact Doctor Razor through his email drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com , you can have a second chance of living again,because he will give you good results.. I never believed in Herbs but Doctor Razor proved to me that Herbs Is a free gift from Nature and Its Importance to Mankind. And as well the effectiveness of Herbs. By completely curing me with his herbal Medicine. Reach out to Doctor Razor through his Email : drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com , Whatsapp/Call him via +2349065420442.
