people, places and things that have piqued my interest
I have to admit that I am usually dismissive of all the cat pics and kitty videos on Facebook and Instagram.
And then there are days like today that have been a challenge and the neighborhood cat sneaks into our house, jumps on my lap, and lets it be known that the most important thing in life right now is that I scratch him between his ears give him a rub under his chin.
It is after 7:30pm on Sunday night, on the first weekend of official Spring, and one of those rare early spring evenings in the Pacific Northwest where it’s actually comfortable to sit outside in the yard and enjoy the fact that there is both still light in the sky at this time of day and it’s warm enough to enjoy being outside in the evening without multiple layers of insulating poly clothing.
My neighbor has just finished mowing his ¼ acre with a gas-powered lawn mower and is now finishing up the job with a power leaf blower. I use similar machines myself, and know that I am disturbing the peace of my neighborhood whenever I do, so I try to use them only at mid-day. I am torn between admiring my neighbors energy, feeling like I should be out doing the same, and wishing that I could just sit here and enjoy quiet and calm of the evening.
Should I post this on my Facebook page? My neighbor is one of my Facebook “Friends” and we are generally on good terms. If I posted this, might he take it as antagonistic?
