Hi, Everyone,

We are having a heat wave (40+ degrees) and all the (14 inches) of snow is melting away. The melting snow at the east end of the house is making a little river into the pond. The pond is overflowing on the south side. The change of water is good and supplies more oxygen to the pond and the fish, but goodness, what a lot of water! I just hope the liner doesn't rise up again because of the meltdown. The fish will be scrambling for space. Then if it freezes again, uh-oh!

Callie-Kitty and Tigger-Digger are having a ball together. They sleep well at night but at 4 a.m., they are wanting their baby food, and dry food, and then it is all out play for a couple hours until it is nap time again. Callie is growing and getting stronger every day. She and Tigger go to the basement each night when hubby makes the fire in the fireplace and play down there too. I will be getting her spayed as soon as she reaches 5 pounds. I have an appointment this week for her third inoculations and if she is 5 pounds or over, I will make arrangements to have her spayed before she comes into heat. The vet will also have to remove the extra two ear flaps growing below her left ear.

I had some women in my WISH Group recently. They were arrested when the hubby called the police. It should not have happened. They are the victims. I hope this gets dismissed for both of them and they can get on with their lives. It is not fair. I wonder at times if the police are really educated in what has taken place and who to really arrest. Do they take the time to listen to the woman and what has happened? Can they not see she is fearful and devastated by what has taken place? Do they not see how anxious and upset she is because either she found out he was cheating on her or she had had it with his constant control of her life and this was just another tactic get back at her or show her who is in control? Then there are the children. The totally innocent ones having to witness all of it. They are so torn apart by it all and don't understand or have a clue what has happened or why.

Enjoy your day. Lift your face to the sun and feel the warmth. Be glad you are alive and count your blessings everyday. Some women in violent and abusive situations don't even have the desire to get out of bed in the morning. They are caught up in a constant state of confusion...an endless emotional roller-coaster ride and cannot see any hope to escape.

Take care,
Thanks for stopping by.
