Christmas Card from the Cat

The strangest thing happened last Thursday....we got a card in the mail from Jasmine! Can you believe it?

I think I can do this. How hard can it be?

It was postmarked Lexington, KY, which is very puzzling! I'm thinking she must've surrepticiously e-mailed it to Cucoo and had him print it and send it for her. Do you think they could be in cahoots on this? I know she's a smart cat, and could probably lick a stamp, but addressing the envelope might be a problem. She wrote a clever poem on the inside too. I think she had to have a little help, don't you?

Now let's see, I think you tap these little squares....

This is one amazing cat we've got here!

Oh yeah, look at that!

Looking good! I am one clever cat!

She's very creative, don't you think?

Cucoo and friends

My guess is she's in Cahoots with the purple-haired bird...the tall one with the skinny green neck. You all know him as Cucoo, from Sandy's blog.

Funny thing is, Cucoo and friends showed up here the other day, out of the blue! Jasmine seemed very excited to see them all.

I made a little kiddy-sized jug of eggnog and tiny little cookies for them. They sure had big appetites for a bunch of skinny birds, and friends. Well, one actually ate like a hog and another had the manners of a dog. The gingerbread man however, couldn't have been more polite.

We had a lovely visit, and then they all piled onto their bike and off they went again, into the wild blue yonder...back to Kentucky I assume. I hope they told Sandy where they were going because that's quite a long trip!

Now to act nonchalant...

You have to understand, I've been under a lot of strain lately with the Christmas rush and all. It could explain my lunatic state of mind and this crazy post :)

P.S. I'm happy to report that the barn cats are all safe and well. We've been confining them to the milkhouse each night and letting them out during the day. We haven't seen any more signs of the raccoon, but there's no snow on the ground, so we can't see any tracks to tell if he's still around or not.

That picture of the barn in the previous post was taken last February. We haven't had that much snow yet. We had a little on the ground during the week of the attack, but it has melted since then. We're having rain tonight! This week the temperatures have been mild again. It's been weird weather for December. Last Friday while putting the kids on the buses at school it was raining lightly and there was a rainbow in the sky! I don't remember ever seeing a rainbow in December before!

Sorry I haven't had much time for visiting and posting lately. There just aren't enough hours in the day for me to get all the shopping, decorating, baking, wrapping and everything else done, and blog too! I'll catch up with you all soon.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!
