 All is fairly quiet at Meow Manor. The Royal felines are doing well although not enjoying the colder weather. Whenever I sit down I have a cat on my lap and 2 or 3 disappointed ones.
Only one of me for 6 of them! They are my furry purry heating pads!
The pond pump is still working! Keeping fingers crossed and the koi and gold fish are thriving.
I am keeping busy watching over Everything- big job! Also sewing for my doll projects and making magical crystals to sell. Glad to not have to work on Faire weather spells but brewing up a brand new batch of Love potion number 999! Hope it will work this year!  It is extra potent!
I will get back to wand and staff crafting when it gets warmer.
I am so glad the holidays are over.I survived- but only just barely!
The full moon had me a bit down last week- but I have quite recovered and am back to being  more cheerful this week. Janu- weary is almost half over!  *Hums a ditty from Spamalot!*

 Well it is a feast or a famine around here! I have had a few very busy weeks!
I got my Royal Veggie garden rototilled and ready to plant!  That was a big job! But fresh lettuce and tomatoes- Yum! 
Also went for the tour of Sherwood Forrest Faire! It is 20 minutes from Meow Manor! HUZZAH! I looks so good! There was a great turnout last Sat. despite the cold windy weather. Bear/ Moon Dawg has pictures up.
I just heard that CTRF is on for next month-3 weekends in Feb- the old Excal site in Lockheart.  I plan to go maybe one or 2 days. Anyone want to tag along? About 40 minutes drive from here.
I made motel reservations for Scarby- still searching out rides there and back and have a few weekends covered- IH 35 is beyond my driving skills alone. Traffic is scary for someone with limited vision! I even scare my Seeing Eye Bat sometimes! LOL!
Speaking of rain- we sure need some. Mother Nature seems to be blocking my weather spells for rain lately. She was generous for the TRF weather spells. My poor roses are getting crispy. It is bad when even weeds die!* Doing a let it rain for 2 weeks spell! *POOF****!
That is the latest news from Meow Manor!

We got a small shower earlier today... and it was sort of misty raining after dark... I can hope we get a bit more as we do need it! I got the side bed along the pasture fence cleaned and worked... and we glommed 3 loads of wood chip mulch from the elec line clearers!YEAH! So I have laid a new brick edge and mulched it in... Mariano and I got the raspberry,blackberry and another blueberry planted and mulch around them in those beds! WOOHOO! So I am really getting geared up! The potatoes are peeking out the onions are dong and my mom and I have spent a load of money one seeds already this year! Heirloom types of many veggies! So now we wait! YUM!!!! Cat

Queen Bonnie

 Sounds great Cat! I can picture it! Great you will have berries! I love the heirloom plants!  I need a Mariano to help me here! Can you clone him? LOL!
We did not get nearly enough rain. Just drizzle.
Not enjoying the cold today. Off to have chicken soup for lunch!

Hello Queen Bonnie,

A little bird told me that you're going to be out partying on Friday evening ...  ;)  ;D

Sorry I won't be able to make it over there for Dinner.  Since I'm on 2nd Shift at work right now, I don't get to leave Houston until 9:30 or 10:00 PM.

Take Care,
David Baldock

 I know the little bird you speak of! Tis true!  We will miss you David!  Tis always a good time with Renn friends!  Huzzah!  Gosh it has been busy here lately. I wore 5 crystals today and what a grand day!  Doing a big happy dance!
I know- it is about time for the happy dance again! I have not done it for a while!

 The Royal veggie garden is in- cold weather crops at least. Lettuces- Arugula, Butter, Mesculn raddichio, Onions, Chard and spinach. How I wish I had a Christmas Peasant to help me weed and do yard work! It is rather overwhelming!  Busy time here. Working on Doll restoration projects and telling the house elves what to do next around here wears me out! Plus taking care of EVERYTHING is a big job!
    I feel Spring is just around the corner!

 Violent storms rolled through last PM. It was scary. The Royal felines cuddled close!  All seems OK here this AM. Whew!
  The rain should help the garden! And the dust at CTRF. I plan on being brave and going out there - if a magical valentine wizard does not appear on Sat. POOF! My crystal ball is in a mood lately and will not tell me anything!
Fie!
I printed out my Scarby Season pass! More magic! Now all set- if I can whip up a coach and driver to get me there and back! RTE 35 is still too much for my driving skills!  Off to survey  my domaine for damage!
More anon!

 Meow Manor escaped the storm with only a few tree branches down.  Huzzah!
The Royal veggie garden is germinating! Huzzah.
I was so sick last PM. I had a bad stomach ache. Better today. The Bug had me depressed and weepy for a day. I hate when that happens! There must have been Dementors nearby?
Planning on the trek to CTRF on the morrow.  I will NOT sit alone on V-day.I hope the MeowMobile remembers the way to Dale. It has been a while. It knows TRF very well!
Doing the happy "getting out garb" dance!

Queen Bonnie

 Congrats on the new baby, Cat! I love the name! This is a busy time!
My veggies have sprouted and the roses are looking better with the rain we have had.  I need HELP with my weeds!
I had fun at CTRF!
It is small but full of renn friends! Not a bad drive from here! I thought of you as I drank my wine!

 Busy week!
I am so happy! I got a hand drawn  X Rated Valentine! it came late- but it was worth it!!!**** YAYYY! Perhaps the love potion is working? Time will tell. I won't!
Things are getting green! My garden is growing. My few roses that are still alive are perking up a bit. The pond has lots of hardy waterlilies in bloom and the fish are happy!
I got my Registration on the MeowMobile renewed! I am LEGAL for another year!!  Beware!
My Evil Twin should blow in soon to steal my car to go to CTRF. Locking up my silverware and everything else of any value!
The Royal felines are doing fine!
