  • One Day at a Time

    Evelyn 'E.T.' Trevathan|Jan 18, 2024

    Well it is a cold winter morning here in our little valley. The sun is shining and there is no wind blowing right now. The wind sure has been blowing over the last few days, I can not remember us ever having wind this high for this many days. The wind has been so cold and high, you can not stand to be out in it for long at a time. I know we always have a lot of wind in March, but never this bad and in January. With all this winter weather forecasted I have got my bread and milk, I do not know why when there is a forecast for any kind of bad...

    Well we have been having a few cold and cloudy days here in our little valley, we have been getting some rain and on a lot of days it has been really overcast, we have even had some foggy mornings. The cats were ready for a warm breakfast, they ate in a hurry and went to get back in their warm beds. Bob is washing the breakfast dishes and when he finishes the kitchen will be spotless. The house is nice and warm. The old wood heating stove is doing a good job, I put firewood in it a little while ago and now outside I can see the smoke drifting...

    Well it is a cold and cloudy wintry morning here in our little valley. It looks like it could snow but I have not seen any yet. The house is good and warm and I have got a cup of hot coffee and it sure is good. The cats have had their bowl of warm milk, I gave them a plate of warm food and they quickly ate all of it up, they sure were hungry. All the cats have now gone and gotten back into their warm beds. Someone the other day ask me if the cats were spoiled, and I said well maybe a little! It is all Bob’s fault, but I can not say much a...

    Well it is a warmer than usual morning here in our little valley, we did get a little rain but now the sun is trying to shine through the clouds, but I think we might get some more rain. The cats came up early this morning for breakfast and they were really hungry. They have now finished their breakfast and have gone off to take their naps until it is time to get up and play or time to eat supper. The other day Bobby put some bird feed in the feeders in the backyard, and this morning around the feeders there were a lot of pretty red Cardinals...

    Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley, it has not been real bad cold yet this winter, but I think next week a front is suppose to come through and then it is going to turn colder, hopefully by Christmas day it will really feel like winter. The cats were already up this morning and here for their breakfast, but they do not like these colder days, they ate in a hurry and went back to their beds. I have got my Christmas tree lights on and my Christmas music playing and I have got a cup of hot coffee, it sure is a nice morning. We do...

The cats were here early this morning and ready to eat, they were really hungry and they quickly ate their breakfast and then they had a bowl of good warm milk and are now gone to find a warm spot to take a nap. The other day we got a little rain but we need a lot more, the weather forecasters keep calling for chances of rain but sometimes I think they are just guessing, I think somebody said we are about...

    Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley. We got that much needed rain, now it is really beginning to feel like Fall. Almost all the leaves are gone off the trees here in our yard. The cats were really hungry this morning and they got their bowl of warm milk and now they are really enjoying the warm sunshine. We had to have a little heat on this morning, but we did not build a fire in the old wood heating stove. We have had a busy week, we got some more of our Christmas decorations up, we are not going to put up as much as we used...

    Well it is a beautiful, but cold morning here in our little valley, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. The leaves are still falling off the trees but the leaves that are still on the trees are pretty colors. The cats have had their breakfast and they also had a bowl of warm milk, they are now out in the yard and playing in the leaves, I think they are playing hide and seek, they are just like little kids. These cold nights when the cats go to bed, I warm their blankets for them, that was Bob’s idea and they love it, and on these cold m...

    Well it is a beautiful Fall morning here in our little valley, the trees are beautiful but a lot of the leaves have fallen off and are covering the ground, it is a little cool but this morning I went for a short walk. It sure is a quiet and peaceful morning, the neighbor’s cows are grazing in their pasture. The cats finished their breakfast and they went with me this morning for our walk. We usually walk in the late afternoons or early evenings and the cats always go walking with us then, but it was such a beautiful morning, I really enjoyed o...

    Well it is a beautiful Fall morning here in our little valley, the sun is shining and the trees have beautiful colors of orange, yellow and red, they are so pretty and there is a breeze blowing and the leaves are falling. We have not had a bad frost yet, just some light scattered patches of frost. This morning it was 41 degrees and it is too cold to sit out on the porch. The cats did not come up for breakfast until the sun warmed things up a little. The cats like to sleep in on these cold mornings, they have now had their breakfast and are...

    Well it is a beautiful Fall morning here in our little valley, the sun is shining and the birds are singing. The trees are getting more and more Fall colors to them and they are getting prettier every day. I took my hot coffee and blanket and went out to the porch but it was a little too cool, so I came back inside. The cats were really hungry this morning, they have now ate and they are laying curled up in the warm sunshine. Everything is quiet and peaceful, but there is a lot of trouble outside of our quiet and peaceful little valley, but you...

There are some sweet little cats laying out here and they are enjoying the warm sunshine, they have had their breakfast and a bowl of warm milk. Before long I will not be able to sit out here on the front porch because it will be too cold, but I will be inside enjoying the warm fire in the old wood heating stove and I am looking forward to that.

    Well it is a nice morning here in our little valley. We are getting a little shower of rain and I hear thunder, but I do not think we are supposed to have any storms. On mornings like this I sure like sitting here on the porch swing. The cats do not like thunder, they quickly ate their breakfast and now have gone to their safe places until the rain stops. The cats sure liked that cooler weather that we had recently, on those few nights when it was really cool I put a little blanket over them so they would be warm, no they are not spoiled and if...

The cats have had their breakfast and are now laying in the warm sunshine. We still have some things to get done outside before the weather turns cold but not as much as we did. I heard the...

The cats have had their breakfast and have now left for the day until supper time. The neighbor’s cows are grazing in their pasture. The neighbor has been busy cutting hay, I heard his old John Deere tractor last week, soon he will be stacking those big round bales of hay down near the creek, he is getting ready for a long Winter.

The cats had a little bowl of warm milk with their breakfast this morning, they have now finished eating their breakfast and they are taking a nap. This nice weather will not last long, by the middle of this week they are calling for it to be around 100 degrees for a few days.

There are not many hummingbirds in the yard, I guess it is just too hot. There are some storms coming in this afternoon and then maybe some cooler weather, maybe we will have an early Fall. We have had some rains, and I think now with the rains and the heat that we have had lately it has really made people’s gardens grow, I want to thank everyone that has brought us f...
