A little of This, a touch of That

So, evidently, Amazon has perfected Alexa in such a manner that even Pets can order through her.  Who knew?

However, my order last week for a case of blog posting ideas is on back order and delivery date is "undetermined".  After a week spent tormenting regaling Sarge's readership with vacation details, I am scrapping the bottom of the barrel for ideas.

But.....

There is hope.

In the Alles ist klar category, I learned something I'd always suspected, but was not positive was true.  The Air Force Academy was founded on April Fools Day.  Things make so much more sense now.  Who knew Old Ike was such a kidder.

Sitting on the porch of the Guest Cabin looking to the NorthWest.

In the "Life's little Pleasures" category.  Last week, we had a little problem with my Sister's cabin.  Seems that her shower would only produce hot water, which is great if you're planning to cook lobster, not so great if you're trying to get ready for work.  Mrs. Juvat has finally gotten an appointment to get Canine Flight's close in armament trimmed.  Given that I'm on blood thinners, even a little love swipe from one of them leaves me looking like something from a Friday the 13th Movie.  My sister can't get off work, so I finagled a late arrival for work.

The plumber swore "No problem, juvat! You're first on the list for tomorrow, we'll be there 0800 sharp, NLT 0830!"

Lying Bastiges!

So, I'm sitting on the porch of the Guest Cabin, since Blonde Flight was out in their yard, and I didn't need the hassle.  0945, Mrs Juvat comes back from the Vet.  She comes driving by with Canine Flight "helping".  I'm surprised she can see for all the help.

"Where's the plumber?"

"Good Question"

Fortunately, as you can see, it was a beautiful morning and it was fairly pleasant sitting out there doing nothing.

However......

"Well, something came up."

"Were you going to let us know?"

"Well....."

Arggggghhhh!

But it was a beautiful morning!

On the New Addition to the Family front.  It seems some fine person from town delivered a small crop of Kittens to the place in the dark of the night recently.  Momma Muskrat, leader of the Outdoor Feline Flight, has taken them under her care and Mrs Juvat (ever the Personnel Officer) has approved their reassignment to the Momma's flight.

So, welcome Mishka, Moshka and Mushka.  We hope to train them to become ferocious guard kitties who will protect Mrs. Juvat's Hibiscus plant from pillaging raccoons. But...It might be a while.

L to R Mishka, Moshka and Mushka.  I'm only certain about one's name. Hibiscus plant is on the left.

It's apparent, even to me, that vacation is over and things around Rancho Juvat are back to their always exciting rhythm.  Thank Heavens.

Although Google seems to know that we were in Scotland and is "helping me" accordingly.  Most of the YouTube Video recommendations I seem to get lately deal with Bag Pipes.  I thought this one humorous, YMMV.

It was a bit blustery, quite a bit of rain and a warning of a never spotted tornado, but in spite of all that things are quite lovely down here this time of year.

Anyone wonder why bluebonnets are the State Flower?
