Good Morning, Everyone,
Getting a late start again this morning. I've been busy doing laundry, making brownies for the potluck tonight, and getting the living room into "winter mode". This involves putting a door quilt over the door to the porch, moving some of the furniture around to "fill in" the space that the French door occupies, bringing in some chairs from the porch, and vacuuming. Rusty is anxious, as he always is when a "change" appears to be happening. We won't be able to use this door to the porch again until spring, but there is also a door to the porch from the kitchen, so we can get out there (we use it as a deep freeze in the winter; no more sitting on the porch until the warm weather!) The 4 upstairs porches will get their door quilts later this week. I always think of the patients who "cured" on these porches in all kinds of weather. (Our house was a tuberculosis "cure cottage" in the first half of the 20th century. Sitting in the fresh mountain air for 8-10 hours a day in all seasons and eating healthy food was the cure before antibiotics. When you consider that our winter temperatures frequently go well below zero Fahrenheit, it's not surprising that the patients developed great endurance and got cured!
Rusty had a good night, good test, good shot, breakfast of Wellness Turkey/ Wellness Chicken, a good combing, a good game of Tube Ball, and some time "exploring" the new configuration of the living room.
We have a winter-weather advisory from 10 A.M. today until noon tomorrow: sleet, snow, and freezing rain--my favorite combination!
Wishing you all a good day and sending healing vines to Moonie, Noni, and all kitties and beans who need some,
Ella & Rusty
