Beverlyjoy, my neighbour's cat loves my covered porch too and spent a lot of time out there on the wicker during the winter. This cat actually thinks she is mine and goes home only for food, the litter box and longer sleeps. A delight!

Today I am grateful for

+ my Irish heritage - so many memories of St. P's days past

+ a sunny and record breaking day ahead

+ shhh but it looks like the gardening season will start early this year

+ Bailey's Irish Cream in my coffee - a tradition in my family

+ time to scope out the garden today - in rubber boots as it's mostly flooded

+ although my syrup production is down this year, it's top quality stuff

+ supper for tonight is already started - corned beef and some potatoes and cabbage in two different crockpots for six people

+ got my summer clothes sorted and culled yesterday

+ overcame another problem with that darned quilt - remind me to never do that pattern again

+ sunshine, warm temps and an organized Saturday - all's right in my world
