Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

-

The really hot and humid weather is gone for now. I was able to open the window for a while so that Dobby could enjoy some fresh air. At one point he pushed against the screen. 

I discovered that I had a grasshopper sitting on the outside of the screen. Also later in the day a chickadee was clinging to the screen too. Dobby was all excited. 
 

 The smokey air has also moved on for now too which also has made having the windows open a good thing. The guys that mow my lawn came to mow on Tuesday. It is dry, hasn't grown, so I asked them not to mow but to work on cutting down the volunteer trees that keep growing under the spruce trees. Looks really nice! 


The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective - the landlady to a group of cottages confesses to murder rather than see one of her tenants arrested. The rest of the residents join forces to prove she is innocent. 

Murder on Brittany Shores - a storm, a severely damaged boat and three dead bodies. An accident right? Nope, murder! Fun thing about this book the places they refer to are real places. So many authors invent their settings. 

Empire of AI - everything you need or even wanted to know in regards to Sam Altman and OpenAI and ChatGPT. Way more than I really wanted to know, but interesting. 





 Happy Reading.

    Happy to see Dobby getting to breathe some clean fresh air and little visitors coming to visit him on the screen.

    That heat and bad air was making all of the inhabitants of Eastside Cats rather cranky!
    It's so much fun to watch the cats run between windows and doors, watching whatever it is that takes their fancy.
    Am 1/2 way through book 3 in a series, because book 4 was released, and I needed to refresh the storyline.
    Getting all four audiobooks from the LIbby app was an exercise in patience, I'll tell you that!

    Because I don't buy books, only borrow them from the library, no book has to wait too long to be read. Sometimes one might get a bit cranky because it thought it was next in the queue, only to be usurped by a more recent edition. Who said books had to be read in the order in which they were borrowed?

    It looks like Dobby was really enjoying the window time.

    Yes, I’d probably enjoy seeing your library!

It is Friday and in the liturgical calendar it is Good Friday. The Friday before Easter Sunday. Growing up this always meant church service in the afternoon, usually a long service with communion.  Dobby is doing well, I can't believe how quickly he has settled in and how comfortable he seems to be from his first days here. He will see the vet next week, so we will see what she says about him.  Doing his loaf impression on the bed.  Neon Lights from Big Twist. Nice bright primary colors.     This is actually my closet at the end of March. It is rather empty at the moment but I want to wait to buy when the company has a promo where they have a special on shipping for a set price for the entire order. Otherwise the cost of shipping is 10 percent of the value of the order and I plan to buy lots of yarn. I want to finish using the final three yarns on the right side.  Happy Weekend.  Happy Easter.

I am bummed, less than two weeks into this new blog and I get a comment that I had to delete. On the old blog I had comment moderation set up so that nothing showed until I had reviewed it. I was hoping with a new blog that I might have some time before that happened. Guess not. For now I will leave moderation off, but may need to put it back on.  Added 4/10/26 8 AM - Comment moderation is back on. I got six comments all from the same place. I did report them to Blogger, their ID said they had only been on Blogger since last month.   I am bummed as I seemed to have lost a few readers with the move. Even though I published the new link. Miss you guys! Dobby and I are at an impass of sorts. While he made himself scarce the day of his vet visit I figured I should see how well he would go into the carrier. NOT WELL! I tried twice and he spent a good deal of time in the basement hiding. We seem to be rebonding and I have to get him to accept the carrier, even if it is with bri...

It has been a long week. Severe weather with thunderstorms and a nearby tornado. Over 5 inches of rain this week alone and overall this month double what we would normally get for the entire month. One fatality, he was struck by lightning on Wednesday night.  The guy was walking in a parking lot to his truck. Thankfully no damage here and also to none of my friends. Lots of flooding, especially streets.  Amazing to watch all the stupid drivers who drive through flooded streets. Then are dumbfounded when their car dies on them. Thousands of dollars in damage to get the car engine working and the car cleaned out too.  Still working on crochet projects for the time being. This one is Happy Rainbow yarn from Big Twist, bright pastel colors. Would make a great baby or kid blanket.  Dobby is doing well, he did not freak out with the storms this week. Also he branched out and didn't sleep on my bed a couple of nights. Maybe he did sleep there but just wasn't there when I wo...
