We’re having the stone floors in the kitchen cleaned and the sound and smells are nasty. Grinding machines and heavy duty chemicals. The poor kitty thinks it’s the end of the world, and Joel has fled to parts unknown. I can’t even hear myself think.
Poor kitty hiding for dear life
March is here, but not Spring. Some days are sunny.
Some are dreary.
Warm places to hang are hard to come by. 
Time for poetry.
And a song. From the amazingly talented: That Happy Family.
Saying nothing in particular 
Thankfully Spring is just around the corner. The kitty does look frightened!
It’ll probably take him a while to get over it. Extra kitty treats for sure.
Spring is just around the corner but here we are bracing for 8-12 inches of snow! Hope this last blast of winter passes fast!
Here in California we really the rain and snow so we try not to upset the weather gods by complaining.
Yes, never a good idea to complain to the weather gods!
Thanks, Jan. You are brave, for sure. Poor Pretty Kitty!
Did you listen to the song? I thought you might like this rendition.
The Wayside Shrines – I love that. Yes, here’s to everyday ordinary miracles and sights. However, with a grinder in the house, I’d hiding in the corner like your kitty. Good luck!
Thank you. I love Tagore’s verses.
Not to worry, Jan. I’ve been trying to ignore hearing myself think of late because it has gotten so noisy up there of late that as a result, I actually am hearing myself think—while am trying to write! Just one interruption after another. No wonder all my work is riddled with errors!
See what I mean? That whole response was just a mess! 😀
I know the feeling. Sometimes I read my responses to people’s posts and gag. But I understand where you’re coming from – sometimes life just gets in the way of writing.
That it does, that it does. :O)
Enjoyed these looks into the life around you, Jan…the wayside shrines. Very nice….
Thanks Jet. That’s Tagore – one of my favorites.
Yep darkest before dawn, huh? Just tell Kitty it’ll be fine soon. Love the song…
I love the song too. It’s quiet now but Kitty’s still under the bed.
Nothing lasts forever , thank goodness. Poor kitty, she will get past this. It will all be worth it when the floor bis done and the air is full of Spring.
We have so much maintenance to do on the house that Kitty will eventually have to get over it. Or the house could fall down around our head I guess….; )
She will don’t worry cats are very resilient she will make you feel guilty though, be warned.💜💜
Poor kitty! The video doesn’t play for me, but the folks look darling. Maybe later–
Oh that’s a shame! It’s a delightful video.
Cats are so sensitive… Mine was really scared when reparations were made at my place to… Lovely pics, and highlights!…. Good luck with this… Best wishes 😉
Thank you!
I have also made the mistake of remaining at home whilst internal works are carried out, never again!!!
Yes, it’s so disruptive. But I’ve found if we’re not at home, they do things like dump waste water in the garden.
I included that song with my One-Liner Wednesday post. Great minds…
I hope the cat recovered from the scare.
Yes, we are great minds aren’t we? ; ) Cat is still pouting but I suspect he’ll get over it eventually.
🙂
The video is delightful. I wish I could sing as well as that little girl– who is getting over a cold. What a fun cover of a classic.
It is – I love the little boy clapping his hands towards the ending.
This reminds me of something Richard Burton (the actor) said: I’d rather pray to old roadside stone fences than beneath the cross of a church. Communion with the clouds and blessed by the wind. Thanks. Duke
My feelings exactly. Thanks Duke.
Sympathies to kitty. Construction work in your special place! How dare they? That video is adorable!
He’s a rescue kitty who’s traumatized very easily unfortunately. Glad you enjoyed the video.
“Do do do do…” Yep, that’s springy 🙂
Aww, I simply loved your happy family performances, Jan.
The pretty pink posy and the dreary sky spring and winter sky (conflict amok!!) Were both reminders to be happy no matter what the weather, as long as we make Progress on the gun reform. . . 🌸💮
That family is amazing aren’t they?
