And The Storm Rages On

Published on by Service Cats U.S.39 Comments

Well meowllo everypawdy. Me’s runnin’ really late today and it’s all cuz of da weather. It’s like Spring furgot she was supposed to be here and Winter came back fur his bags and decided to stay a while. And it’s not just here, lots of you are having da colds and some of you even have snow. OMC  All day yeafurday was dark as night and we just knew somethin’ big was about to happen. So ’round dinner time there was da loudest boom me thinks me’s ever heard, and then da skies opened up and da rains fell. Da wind was blowing so strong dat mommy’s wind chimes was singing non stop. And then came da pellets of ice beating down anything in their path. They were hitting da roof, da walls, da windows and da ground with such force me actually thought they were gonna break thru any minute. So to answer da burnin’ question on your minds…Yessiree, me was scared and hidin’ out behind da chair.

Dezi: Yeah I'm not laying on the cat tree looking out the door today
Of Course me isn’t doin’ this today. MOL

At 5 o’clock this meownin’ mommy finally decided we should try to go to bed and get some sleep. Da storm seemed to have died down so all was quiet. Mommy gathered me up and turned off da lights and to bed we went. We always say our purrayers befur goin’ to sleep so once we settled in we began to purray. Befur we could even get half our purrayers said da storms started ragin’ again. And this time they were even louder. You know, no tee-vee to help mask da sound. You guessed it, me hauled me’s purretty little kitty girly hiney right off da bed and down da hall behind da chair again. Mommy didn’t move, and suddenly me realized me was all alone behind dat chair in da living room. So me came slinkin’ back to da bedroom and mommy. Me crawled under da bed while mommy finshed purrayin’; and then we both just laid there fur what seemed like hours just listening to da raging storm. Mommy cooed at me from da bed and me quietly mewed back at her from under da bed. Around 8:30 this meownin’ da storms finally calmed and me joined mommy on da bed so we could both finally get a little sleep.

Dezi: Your lap is the best mommy
Just hold me mommy, till da storm passes by.

After walking around on mommy’s chest a bit and swooshing me’s tail in her face a few times, me cuddled up next to mommy and we drifted off to dreamland; only to be jolted awake less than an hour later when da storms started up again. Da only good thing ’bout all these storms is dat mommy didn’t have da chance to rest long enough to freeze over, so she didn’t have to wait on me to get around this meownin’. Dat coulda been a long wait cuz coaxin’ me out from under da bed fur brekky took an hour. We can’t rely on mr. weatherman fur accurate repurrting so we’re not sure how long this is goin’ to last. We’ll be around to visit as soon as we can. We’re sendin’ purrayers fur all of you. Stay safe and warm and dry. The storm is still raging on here.  

Dezi: I don't know whether to hide or stay here

Has Spring come to your area yet?

Till da next time…………………………………Be Blest!!!

Meowllo everypawdy. We stawted out last night writin’ todays posty and fawt we might just giv dat Wordless Wednesday a twy. Me knows yous shocked cuz meez a “chatty caffy”, least dat’s what mommy calls me. but we wuz gunna twy. So a foo fotos uploaded and very foo words later, we scheduled meez posty and went to bed shortly after. Only to wake up this meownin’ and find dat it didn’t post. OMC What’s up wiff dat? Well me can only assume da net waves didn’t know what to do wiff meez posty. It wuz shocked too. MOL So me decided dat since meez posty didn’t post and weez had such an excitin’ meownin’, me wuld just wedo meez posty altogedder. So here we go, hold onto sumfin’ or you just might get blown away.

It wuz actually purretty nice out yesfurday. Da sun came out and it warmed all da way up to da mid 40’s. We had da big door open so we kuld see out. And me had meez eyes on a squirrel dat insists on playin’ on meez porch. Me chortled and chattered at him fur da longest time afur hims finally left and went back out unner da twee. Squirrel teevee gone and no bird teevee to watch me went to take a nap.  When me woke up it wuz alweady getting’ dawk outside. We just hate dat it gets dawk at 5 o’clock.  Me wants summer back. Anyways, since dat’s not gunna happen fur a while then me will settle in and enjoy all da cuddles dat come wiff this wedder. Now, where wuz me? Oh yeah, so when it got dawk it also stawted to get colder again and mommys pulled up sleeves came down to help keep her warm. When we went to bed we turned on da lectwic blanky and all snuggled up.

After a night of semi peaceful rest (me will tell you why in a minute), we awoke to sounds of bangin’ and cwashin’ goin’ on. OMC Wuz da neighbor okay? Maybe she wuz havin’ a fit or sumfin’? We just kuldn’t magin what kuld be goin’ on. See she came home weally late last night. So late in fact dat yous wuld actually hav to call it early meownin’. After all dat’s what 4 a.m. is, isn’t it? Since we had only been in bed ourselves fur ‘bout 30 minutes we heard all da clammewin’ and bumpin’ and clangin’ she did when she got home. Thus da semi peaceful rest. Of course it’s first fing in da meownin’ so even tho’ weez all wanna know what be goin’ on, mommy can’t move so weez can’t check it all out yet. Lexi and me spwang into action. A little massage here and a little massage there and mommy wuz weady to be pushed into da chair. After finishin’ up in da pawdee box room we all headed up da hall to da kitchen fur bwekky and to check out all da clangin’ still goin’ on nex door…or so we fawt.

One of da first fings mommy duz is open da big door and da blinds. She opened da blinds and there wuz mister sunshine. WooHoo Anudder sunny day. 2 in a row, wow Awe we sum blest kitties or what? Dat’s what me wuz finkin’ alwight. Till mommy opened up da door. Mommy slowly turned da lock and then da knob and then she pulled da door as she backed up in da chair. And as da door came open, da porch bwoom came flyin’ into da storm door and….BANG!!!  Wight into da door.  A bunch of leaves went swirlin’ wound and a pot of sumpawdy’s dead flowers flew past and hit da rails on ow walkway. CWASH  Da pot hit da gwound, busted and dwy dirt flew everywhere. Me dwopped to da floor flat as me kuld make meez selff and stawted to slink off down da hallway. Sis Lexi jumped up on da twee and peered out side. Mommy stawted forward again so she kuld shut da door, and da neighbor (who we fawt wuz wesponsible fur all dat noise) came walkin’ swiftly wiff hers awms folded tightly twyin’ to keep warm wiffout a coat down fwum da fwunt buildings. Da bags unner hers eyes kulda carried dat coat she needed to hav on, but she’s not weal bwight weez discovered.  

This wusn't fwum this meownin' but a foo days ago.

Mommy got da door shut again and fixed ow bwekky. Me dug in, but sis Lexi looked at hers and gave it a quick sniff and then hopped down and went over to da tweat cabinet and meowed. Mommy told her dat tweats wuz fur good girlys hoo ate all their bwekky. So back to da table she went and ate a foo bites while momy got hers coffee and went to sit down. No sooner had mommy sat down than Lexi wuz standin’ in fwunt of her lookin’ att her wiff dat look. Yous know da one. It’s da one dat sez meez beggin’ wiffout sayin’ anyfin’?. You wuld fink mommy wuld quit twyin’ to dwink coffee, cuz it’s not like we leave her be in da meownin’. Or anytime hers has a coffee cup fur dat matter. Well of course mommy gave in and put a foo tweats in hers plate wiff hers bwekky, and  then came back to hav hers coffee. By this time me had eaten a bit and now it wuz meez turn to get sum mommy attention.

Up in mommys lap me went and then down again. And then me stared at hers fwum da floor. Mommy weached down to pick me up and off me ran just a chortlin’. Mommy looked down again and there wuz sis Lexi. Those wusn’t da tweats she wanted. This time mommy didn’t give in and told hers she had to eat what wuz alweady in hers plate cuz it wuz not only good fur her, but it wuz good. Me came back up fwunt cuz mommy wuzn’t answerin’ meez squeaks. Lexi went back to da kithen and ate a foo more bites and me walked over to meez plate to hav anudder bite…Swoosh, Bang!!! Fings outside wuz blowin’ wound everywhere and cwashin’ into everyfin’. Me dwopped again and mommy sed, “Dezi, don’t worry about all that noise honey. You’re safe.” Me went over fur sum luvvin’ and then back to meez plate fur more noms.

By this time mommy had da puter on and checked da wedder. Well da sun wuz here all wight but there’s a wind advisory in effect fur a day. No kiddin’, what genius kulda missed dat?. No wesponse wequired, dat wuz purely whetorrical. Anyways meez munchin’ down, mommy’s twyin’ to move sum of da fotos fwum da puter to da fumm dwive, and sis Lexi is standin’ over hers plate hopin’ she’s gunna get luky, and da power duz one of those flash fings and off and back on it  went. Da teevee popped off, da puter and purrinter went off and mommys coffee pot went off along wiff everyfin’ els in da house. Me jumped and Lexi came runnin’ back to da livin’ room. Mommy turned da puter back on and…OMC da circle of DOOM and Mass Destwuction. Gotta tell ya’ me saw mommys heart dwop in hers chest finkin’ da puter cwashed again. And ‘bout those 1300 fotos she had just finished editin’ out da red eyes on and twyin’ to get put on da fumm dwive. She only has ‘bout half of them there at da moment. So she turned da puter back off and unplugged it and stawted all over again. Whew! (paw across forehead motion) It’s okay!!! Da puter stawted wight up and there wuz all da fotos mommy had just put back on it, safe and sound. And all this afur noon. MOL
