  • One Day at a Time

    Evelyn 'E.T.' Trevathan|Jul 6, 2023

    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 sure is a nice and peaceful morning here in our little valley. We have been sitting on the front porch swing and having our coffee. Bob has got the breakfast dishes washed and the kitchen cleaned. The cats have had their breakfast and they are laying in the warm sunshine, I had a little scare this morning one of them was not here for breakfast, I went looking for her and the other two cats went with me, we found her down by the creek chasing a frog, when she saw us and heard me calling then she came running, I did scold her a little. We...

    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. There is a lot of birds out in the yard and in the trees, you can tell they are happy because they are singing their songs so loud, and I can hear doves calling to each other. 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 beautiful morning here in our little valley, it is still a little cool, but everything is green and the sky is blue. The birds are singing and the neighbor’s cows are grazing on that fresh green grass. The cats have had their breakfast and I saw one of them chasing a butterfly, the butterfly flew away and the cat looked at me like where did it go? Bob has got the breakfast dishes washed, but apparently some how he did not see the broom and mop that I left sitting out for him. It has been a b...

    Well it is a quiet and peaceful morning here in our little valley, there is a little breeze blowing and it is cool and cloudy, but we usually have a cool spell around Easter. The dogwood trees are so pretty, they are in full bloom. The cats were hungry and they did have a little bowl of warm milk, but they have gone back to their warm beds for their morning catnaps. Bob has finished washing the breakfast dishes and I have had my coffee I showed Bob where the mop and broom was at and he smiled and thanked me. We have had a busy week, we got...

    By “E.T. Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a beautiful but chilly morning here in our little valley. The sky is blue and the sunshine is warm, but it is still a little too cool to sit out on the porch. The cats were up and ready for their breakfast, when the sun is shining they get up early but when it is cloudy they like to stay in their beds under the cover. Smart cats. Bob has got the kitchen clean, the dishes washed and put away. Now if I could just get him to sweep and mop the kitchen floor. For our area of the country this has b...

Bob has got the dishes done and the kitchen clean. I have had my coffee, it always seems to taste better when it is cold outside, I guess that is just me. I h...

    By “E.T. Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley. We had rain, thunder and lightning last night but it was cool enough for us to have a fire going in the old wood heating stove.

Bob is finished washing the breakfast dishes and we are both having our coffee. It has been a busy week, we had a lot of yard w...

    By “E.T. Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is another cold and rainy morning here on our little valley, the rain came in sometime during the night. The cats were really hungry for their breakfast this morning, they were at the door waiting on me. I think they can tell time, they are at that door about 7 am every morning. Bob has got the breakfast dishes washed and the kitchen spotless. I think he is going to ask for a raise in his pay, he will probably want double what he is getting now.

    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. On the first day of this new year I looked around me I wondered what will this new year bring? We hear all these things from the news media and of course most of what they say is bad. 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. The cats did not get up as early as they usually do. Last night I put extra blankets over them and I covered up their heads and bodies. I even put their blankets on the old wood heating stove and got them warm, they sure like them warmed up blankets. It is hard to believe Christmas is has...

We have got a good warm fire in the old wood heating stove and the house is warm and comfortable. The cats did not get up early this morning, when it is real cold they stay in their bed. But when I called them for breakfast they knew that they would be having a bowl of warm milk so they came running. No, they are not spoiled.

    By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a cool, damp and rainy morning here in our little valley. It is not cold enough for us to have a fire going in the old wood heating stove but I have heard by the end of the week we may see a few flurries, of course that sounds good to me because I love to see it snow, just as long as it is just a little snow. The cats were really hungry this morning, they ate quick and have already went back to their warm beds. Bob has got the kitchen spotless clean and he left the coffee pot on for me to...
