Welcome to my April 2019 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

I’ve revealed my theme (A picture-story a day (in the life, so to speak)), and as I have every year, I am going to be blogging my theme letters on the fly – this year I didn’t even plan to do otherwise!  So, here goes nothing 🙂

Today, Q is for…Quite a Lazy Day.

The first day of an extra-long weekend, spent reading books in front of the fireplace with kittens and Kevin nearby.  Yes, I should have been doing a bit of house cleaning for company coming, but there is still tomorrow!

Quiet Quality time with Quintessentially Quaint, and sometimes Quite Quirky Kitties.

Today, P is for…Pretty Kitten Thursday

Well, they are pretty, and it is Kitten Thursday, so what else?  Now I’m off to begin enjoying my long weekend…sleeping in, drinking wine, and generally relaxing!

Today, O is for…Oh Dear…I didn’t take any pictures today.

What can I say?  It was one more crazy day at work.  Meetings coming out the wazoo, faculty panicking over their gradebooks (in our learning management system, which I help support), all while trying to actually get things done in between it all.

I did, however, take a lot of pictures last night of things on our deck and in our backyard (because, why not?)  So, for your viewing pleasure today, Ooooohhh…our cherry tree in full bloom!

Today, N is for…Nicholas!!

Of course it is!  Now, Nicholas is our oldest kitten.  He joined our household about 11 years ago to keep Dexter company.  Dexter joined us after Finnegan left us – Simon, who had lived with Finnegan for 13 years, was lonely.  Dexter, however, was a rambunctious kitten, so Nicholas saved the day, keeping Simon from going crazy and giving Dexter someone to run around with!  As it turned out, Nicholas (who had been a feral kitten and was very scared of humans) fell in love with Simon, a fellow black kitty.  So he played with Dexter and followed Simon around everywhere.

Now, since having dental surgery several years ago – surgery which obviously alleviated a lot of pain – Nicholas is much happier around Kevin and I, but unfortunately, after that surgery, Elliot decided he hated Nicholas.  So, when Elliot is elsewhere, Nico will come out to play with Jasper, but otherwise stays hidden in his room.

That was a very long, convoluted story to explain to you why we don’t have a lot of Nicholas pictures, but here is a brief gallery from over the years for you!!

Today, M is for…Monday

When you are not yet retired, Mondays are hard.  Well, I guess that’s a pretty general statement.  For some of us who are not yet retired, Mondays are hard.  But, this Monday, while colder than April should be and requiring my presence at the workplace, marks the beginning of a short week.  A short week this week, and a short week next week too!!  So, to celebrate M is for Monday, let me share with you some of the random pictures I took during my after work walk in the chilly (but not rainy) weather!
