Well it is a warm and humid morning here in our little valley. Here on the front porch there is a little breeze blowing but it is warm. The cats were here to eat early this morning, I think they knew that it was going to be hot later. When it gets hot they go and find a cool place. We keep plenty of fresh water out for them and there is usually a little water in the creek for other animals. There probably are a lot of animals that are tied up and can not get to water or shade. We still have not got enough rain, all we have mostly been getting...
Well it sure is a quiet and peaceful morning here in our little valley, here on the front porch it is very quiet and there is a little breeze blowing. The neighbor’s cows are grazing peacefully, the cats have had their breakfast and are now taking a nap. There is not many sounds, even the birds are being quiet, somewhere off in the distance I heard a dog bark. I am sitting here and enjoying my coffee, but I am also thinking that I am so thankful for this peaceful time because I know it is not like this out there in the world. There is so m...
Well it is a nice cool morning here in our little valley. I really enjoy these quiet mornings here on the front porch, the cats do too, they have had their breakfasts and are now out chasing bugs. The breakfast dishes are washed and the kitchen floor has been swept and mopped, you know who washed the dishes but he did not do the floors, somehow he could not find the broom and mop again, maybe next time if I put them next to the kitchen sink, but it is okay because the kitchen is spotless. The temperature out here on the porch this morning is...

Well it is a cool and rainy morning here in our little valley, it rain last night and early this morning but it looks like it is clearing up now. We will be glad of this rain later in the summer, it has slowed down some of the gardeners now but this will be good later. The cats came up for breakfast and then went right back to bed. When the sun shine comes back out they will be ready to go for a walk, we have been walking in the mornings and in the late afternoons, and the cats like to go walking with us and they think we should walk at their p...
Well it is a cloudy and cool morning here in our little valley. We had some more rain last night and everything is wet and the ditches are full and the creek has a lot of water in it. The animals are enjoying this warm weather, yesterday we saw deer crossing our road, we have not seen a lot of deer this year. The cats do not like this wet weather, they ate breakfast and then went back to bed, they did not seem very happy. Some of you have asked about our tom cat that went missing a few months ago, he has not come back home, we still miss him a...
Well it is a nice morning here in our little valley, it is almost warm enough to sit out on the front porch. The cats were up early this morning and ready to eat their breakfast, now they are out playing and enjoying the warm sunshine.

The neighbor’s cows are grazing and enjoying the sunshine and warmer weather. Off in the distance I can hear someone’s lawnmower, peoples...
Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley. It is a little too cool to sit out on the porch this morning, I sure am looking forward to later on this spring when it warms up just a little more, then we will be having lots of warm sunshine with gentle cool breezes and it will be warm enough to sit out on the porch in the mornings. The cats have had their breakfast and have gone back to their warm beds, they do not like cold weather or even cool weather. They like to get out and play in the warm sunshine, but warmer days will soon be...

By “E.T. Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a very quiet and still morning here in our little valley. It is not real cold and it really does not feel like the middle of winter. The cats are still asleep, they are snuggled in their beds. There is not any noise at all, no birds or anything, it is very quiet.

As I look back at the past year I am thinking, w...
By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a very cold morning here in our little valley, the temperature this morning is 8 degrees and there is snow on the ground, we had about an inch of snow and some ice and it has not warmed up enough to melt it.
