  • One day at a time

    Evelyn 'E.T.' Trevathan|Oct 3, 2024

    Well it is a cool and windy morning here in our little valley. We sure have been getting some good and much needed rain, there has not been no real heavy downpours but steady and slow rain. Even the creeks are starting to get water in them. With the rain, wind and cooler temperatures it sure has felt more and more like Fall. It was a little cool last night so I put the cats a small blanket out and they were snuggled down into it this morning. There were not as many hummingbirds at their feeders this morning, maybe it is because of the cooler...

    Well it is cool morning here in our little valley. It almost feels like an early Fall morning, it was even a little too cool to sit out on the porch. I really like cool mornings like this. The cats were here early this morning to eat their breakfast, now they have snuggled down and they are taking their cat naps. I am so glad that we got some rain, when it was raining during the night I would wake up and hear the rain, it sounded so good. We sure have needed the rain, everything was really dry. I think this drought has been one of the longest...

    Well it is a nice morning here in our little valley. There is a little breeze blowing and it is really comfortable here in the swing. There is not much noise this morning. I can hear a cow way off in the distance, I guess it is a mamma cow calling for her calf. I can see some of the neighbor's cows out in their pasture, they are enjoying the cool morning and grazing on the green grass. The cats have had their breakfast and they are stretched out here on the cool porch. One of the cats has decided to get up here in the swing next to me and take...

    Well it is a quiet and peaceful morning here in our little valley. Right now it is really comfortable and it has not gotten real humid yet. This morning we did have a little fog but not as much as we have been having, lately on some mornings the fogs have been real heavy. The cats were sitting at the door and waiting for their breakfast. They are always on time, I think they know what time it is, Bobby says that they have little Mickey Mouse wrist watches. The hummingbirds have been busy at their feeders. Bobby has been making up feed for them...

    Well it is a quiet and peaceful morning here in our little valley. It is cloudy and cool but not humid, it is very comfortable. We have had a little shower of rain and there is a breeze blowing. The cats have ate their breakfast and now are relaxing, they are really enjoying this cooler weather. They do not like the hot weather during the Summer and during the wintertime you can tell that they are just dealing with the snow and cold, but come Spring or Fall then that is their kind of weather. The birds in the yard are busy at their feeders....

    Well it is a very warm morning here in our little valley. Right now there is a little breeze blowing and it is comfortable out here on the front porch, but it is quickly getting humid.

They sure are smart they ate breakfast while it was still cool out and now that it is warming up they have gone to find a cool shady place to nap for the day. When it is hot like t...

    Well it is a warm and almost hot, sunny morning here in our little valley. It has already been feeling like summertime. Here on our front porch there is always a little cool breeze blowing and during the hot Summer months it is comfortable out here in the mornings. The cats ate their breakfast early this morning and have now gone off to find themselves a cool place to nap for the day. Sometimes it is like they eat, drink and disappear.

    Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley. It is a perfect morning for sitting on the front porch and having coffee. The cats are enjoying the morning too. They had their breakfast and are now taking a nap. Yesterday Bobby filled up the bird feeders and this morning the birds are busy and happy also. There are a couple of squirrels under the old apple tree in the yard, they are enjoying the apples that have fallen off the tree. They are carrying some of the apples down near the creek, I guess they are beginning to stock up for Wi...

    Well it is a cool and rainy morning here in our little valley. We do need this rain but it is too cool to sit on the porch. The cats were not in a hurry for their breakfast, they are sleeping in this morning. When the sun is shining and it is warm out, then they are sitting at the door waiting for breakfast. Last week was a good week, we worked outside and got a lot done. We got our yard mowed, it is growing so fast with all this rain. I have heard several people say their gardens are doing good. Pam and Rick got some squash and green onions...

    Well it is a damp and cool morning here in our little valley. We had some thunder and rain here this morning before daylight. Now it looks like it is going to be a beautiful day. The sun is beginning to shine and it is getting warm, it is going to be another hot and muggy day. This has really been some unusual weather this Spring, I am wondering what Summer is going to be like. The cats are here and ready for their breakfast. They are always here about the same time every day, maybe they can tell time, Bobby says they have little Mickey Mouse...

    Well it is a cool and cloudy morning here in our little valley. A light rain is falling and it is a little too damp to sit on the front porch. Even with the rain the cats were up and waiting on breakfast, but now that they have finished they have snuggled back down for a nap until the rain is over. Bob has finished washing the breakfast dishes and he is now enjoying his coffee. We sure have been having some unusual weather lately, lots of rain and a lot of hail.

    Well it is a nice cool morning here in our little valley. Last night we heard rumbles of thunder and got a shower of rain. This morning everything is wet, but the grass is green and the flowers are blooming, everything liked the rain. The cats were up early this morning for their breakfast. They sure like this nice warmer weather, after they eat breakfast they find themselves a cool spot, usually on the porch and take naps for most of the day, unless they see us outside then they want us to pet them or go for a walk with them. This has been ano...

The cats were ready for their breakfast, they ate and have now gone to take a nap. Bob is washing the breakfast dishes and making the kitchen spotless. In a few minutes we will have our coffee but we will probably not sit out on the porch because it is a little too cool this morning.

    Well it is a cool Spring morning here in our little valley, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, everything is greening out and some of the bigger flowers are blooming out. The days are getting warmer and longer, soon we will start having some real warm springtime weather, and I am ready for it. Springtime is good, but when it gets to be Summer and we start having hot days, I will be complaining about it being too hot. The cats were not in a hurry for their breakfast this morning.

    Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley, the sun is shining and the wind is getting up. We recently had a little more frost, one time it was 31 degrees here on the porch. On those cold mornings the cats stayed in their beds, all three of them were snuggled together, but when the sun began to shine on the porch, they got up and they were ready for their breakfast and for some warm milk. Someone asked me the other day who spoiled the cats, was it me or Bob? Well it was Bob, he can go outside and if they hear his voice then they come...

    Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley. It was cool here but we did not have any frost, there for a few mornings we did have a little frost on the roofs. We can still have some very cool mornings and a little frost, but after April 15th it should be warm until Fall. The cats were up and waiting for their breakfast. When it is really cold or storming they do not want to get up early. But today the sun is shining and the birds are singing, so the cats were up and ready for their day. When I went out to feed the cats, I heard som...

The cats were here early this morning and ready for their breakfast. The wind is blowing pretty hard and they do not like it, but they are more hungry than scared. Bob is washing the breakfast dishes and he will soon have my kitchen spotless. It sure is nice to have a good dishwasher, I think I will keep him. We have had another busy week. We did some more...

The weather is trying to change and warm up, they have been forecasting rain with fog and sunshine with frost, but thankfully no more snow and ice until next Winter.

    Well all these cold fronts that we have been having lately, they all have been coming in fast, it seems like it is warm one minute and freezing the next minute. The temperature sure changes in a hurry, it was almost 70 degrees here on the front porch and it dropped down to 38 degrees in no time at all. This weather warms up then it turans cold again, but of course we are still in Winter. It has been being cold in the mornings and the cats have been really hungry, it does not take them long to drink their bowl of warm milk and clean their...

    Well we have been getting some much needed rain here in our little valley, they are calling for clearer and sunny weather, but I think I heard that they are still calling for a day or two of a little snow, but it still is wintertime. The cats were here early this morning for their breakfast and the birds were at the bird feeders. I think everyone was hungry. The rain we got was good because they said we were in a drought area. There was a lot of water flowing in our creek and the water was washing all the debris out and there was also water...
