The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

This was still little barn cat Ethyl. Fred was more to the front barn (hay, now cars) and Ethyl was in the back barn with the critters. All 4 horses were still alive and well. Geezer used to eat in a small stall (now the goat stall/maturity ward) at the front of the barn so the other critters wouldn't steal his food. Everyone had eaten and Telly, the red horse you have seen pictures of, and Bully Poodle/Calypso were standing near the front at the outside edge of the stall. The Landlady was there - I wish I had been. Horses have about one way to feel something - with their mouths. No fingers, a massive nail at the end of each leg - they use their lips. I call it snozzling. Telly saw the wee three-color cat and decided to investigate, so he gave her a snozzling, not knowing that this was/is Ethyl. One simply does not just snozzle Ethyl. Ethyl does not wish to be snozzled, as she considers this to be Rude Behavior. Ethyl hates Rude Behavior in a horse and she will not tolerate it. She turned on him, grabbed a bit of lip in each very clawed paw, and bit him on the lip. He jerked his head back, both in a bit of pain and apparently with a bit of emotional hurt, too, and he turned and walked back to the middle of the barn. Ethyl went on about her rounds. Making rounds/going on walkabout is very important to barn cats, it seems.


Ethyl moved inside a very few weeks later and is currently lounging against my travel bag.
Love that.

And also
snozzling
( not with you, mind you. But I do like the word!)

Is people pleasing really about putting aside your needs for other’s wants? I did that hoping my first marriage would work out. I learned from my second and best wife to put my needs first and discuss if we had a conflict. Amazingly we always made things work out so both of us were content or happy.
It is emptying your bucket to try to fill somebody else's

I tried it too.... but I could never do enough... so I stopped and now I have fewer relationships but better ones

I love you guys too... without you all I would be lonely


So you don't have to be.


I heard back from Engine Boy. He's in Jersey - I had kinda guessed as much. It's gooder'n having to go to NYC-the-place-not-to-be. He wants to sell the whole kit-and-caboodle. I told him, okay. I'm formulating a price - ten grand. No more. Last guy up that way I talked to made me an offer I don't refuse - he knocked 37.5% off his asking price over the phone if I'd come get it. I did. You're seen the piccies.

That just looks like a bad ass motor.

Maybe I’ll have my Torino running if you’re in the area!
 
Whilst driving back to the house-n-cats yesterday afternoon, I noted blooming daffodils on the afternoon sun side of the interstate. I like that someone plants bulbs/flowers there. Forsythia is the best for lots of color.
We have planted hundreds of bulbs along the road side on our farm. It’s about 400 feet of yellow flowers in about three weeks.

I love it.

I’m also a big fanof forsythia. We got tons of that too. It’s easy to propagate. You literally just take cuttings a few inches long and stick them in the ground.
