and i just can’t wake up this morning.  if i just enjoyed a big cup of coffee, i’m sure i’d be fired up and roaring around, instead of sitting here with the kitty wedged along my side.  he wasn’t happy that i didn’t want him to sit on my lap, but he seems to be sleeping just fine even though he’s squished against the side of the chair.  poor tiny baby kitty!

we have these rope lights out on the back deck, and i keep saying we should take them down because they’ve been up since last spring or maybe they were even up last winter, i can’t remember.  they’re clear ropes and they’re really dirty and look bad during the day.

however, they look fantastic and cheery at night.  plus, at twilight i like to think that the birds are eating at a swanky supper club.  there aren’t any birds in the photo, but they were just there, i promise.

kevin put out big hunks of rolls and the blue jays ate every last crumb.

i keep saying i’m gonna slather the birdhouse with peanut butter and stick on more seeds, but that just hasn’t happened yet.  i should do it today since it’s going to be balmy and spring-like, somewhere in the mid-30s.

i took so many pictures of the blue jays, trying to capture them gobbling the buns, but they were just so fast.  i should have shot some video.

i love this picture because it’s like they’re playing a mirroring game, or maybe having a quiet conversation.

the other morning kevin was sitting where i am right now.  winnie is always struggling to relax.

ok then,

mrs. tuesday morning grace.
