The Mega Pawsitive Fundraiser

[Alejandra Rico]

I have a cake carrier that would fit that cake perfectly so no touching necessary 1CatOverTheLine

Today is National Random Acts of Kindness Day. When I was in my favorite coffee shop this afternoon someone paid me a complement and asked for a referral. I not only volunteered the requested information but gave them a link for a very generous discount. Off to spread some more kindness: Random Acts Of Kindness Day

That is AMAZING! I've never heard of such tradition, but I think it should be one in each country. Maybe we could then modify it and make it a whole week. Then a month. Then a year... and so on. Hope for humankind

My little pawsitive tonight is that Freya and Lutari "touched noses" an hour ago, so I tjink there is a chance they will eventually become good friends

I know this is rampant consumerism rather than pawsitive, but it feels pretty jolly pawsitive to me..
I managed to save up enough pennies to buy a Smart TV. It's incredible! (I know many of you know that, but to me it's like being a kid in a lolly shop.. what will I watch next? When will I ever get to bed?? ) I can see some serious rationing happening very soon, but it's the weekend, so.. just one more episode...

We only get 4 channels on our tv so I spend a lot of time rewatching dvds. I just checked the mail from yesterday and I received the PBS series Poldark. Yeah! Something NEW to watch!

weebeasties - The television here allegedly receives 318 channels. The last time it was on - a little over a year ago - I watched a rerun of The Andy Griffith Show.

Quite a different story outside, however. There are Snowdrops in abundance just outside the windows, and a walk in the bright sunny yard will be required to turn up whatever else might be blooming - in February!

neely - I have a cake carrier that it would fit in perfectly too, and mine has a shirt covering it. Wait! A lid. I meant, "mine has a lid covering it!"

1CatOverTheLine LOL, this reminds me of the old Tom Paxton song for a commercial, "My Dog's Bigger Than Your Dog."
My pawsitive news of the day is quite simple, i.e. after last night's wind and snow the sun is shining brightly today.

neely - "Ah, yes - I remember it well."



A lot less going on in the woods than I'd hoped for today; a few Snowdrops, mostly still closed up, and just the beginnings of Daffodil noses poking out to get an idea of when it might be safe to show themselves - and not a Crocus in sight. A few ducks enjoyed the open water again, and on the way back up the hill, I nearly switched off the power on the camera to save battery life since the sky was getting dark anyway. Just to my right, something - a gull, I imagined - glided past, and I turned to realise that it wasn't a gull, and clicked the shutter - just before I'd stopped moving the camera, resulting in what is certainly a contender for the world's worst photo of a Snowy Owl.

So what? How often do you walk through the back yard and see a Great Snowy Owl fifteen meters away?

A wonderful morning-woke up to a boatload of snow. Was so Pretty!

Looks like any gardening is pushed out till April if not later. Which gives me more time to buy and read books.

@AbbysMom That cake looks delicious! Looks like in addition to catnapper we have cake nappers!!

foxxycat - Please! We in the vocation prefer to call it, "Confection Procurement."



Lord but those are wonderful photos!


Here, our white stuff is limited to a few piles left over from snowblowing. Awwww....

[raysmyheart]

All the photos are wonderful! 1CatOverTheLine that is quite a capture. foxxycat , you seem to have gotten about the same as here in Central Mass, but, today all day, the sun was bright and when I looked out, the pine trees looked so green against the perfect blue sky. My other paw-sitive is that recently, I've been the recipient of much caring and compassion on this site.

A very paw-sitive is that my nephew is working for a major league sports team here in Massachusetts., he is just one year out of college and I am very glad for him, for this opportunity.

1CatOverTheLine isn't there also an element of Confectionary Quality Control in there somewhere? *Please, won't ya save me a skinny sliver of that? I'm pretty discerning when it comes to, uh, quality control...*
So many gorgeous snow photos! *Envying you all*
No rain here, and none forecast, but at least next week is supposed to be quite a lot cooler, which means probably ALL cats on deck (bed) at night. I'll take it!
A fairly new twitter pal says I'm being a major positive influence, and that makes me very happy. Any time is a good time for more PAWSitive, yes?

 

[Alicia88]

We're about to go out for dinner. We're treating ourselves with our state refund. The rest is going to baby stuff and bills. And we'll be saving our federal refund for moving.

Alicia88 Sounds like full steam ahead and all good PAWSitive things. Enjoy your dinner! I don't remember what going out to dinner is but I hope yours is great.

And I know two kitties that used to be feral that would say they know you are a Mega Pawsitive Human You and @ondine are definitely Mega Pawsitive people as well as all the other members on here.

Then there are the gonna get your cake and kitty people we will not mention, 1CatOverTheLine and his cohorts, that we all must put up security lighting and cameras for. Thanks, like I needed the extra expenses!

Norachan - The similarities between your place and mine are amazing. This is my little path down to the river in Winter:

You live in a wonderful place, my Friend.

That picture looks like it could have been taken anywhere around here.



My positive for the day is that I've got all the chores done before noon and I'm working 5 pm to 11 pm today, so that means I've got the whole afternoon to do as I please.



I think I'll go for a walk as soon as I've finished my coffee.

 

[Alicia88]

Since this is a positive thread, I won't comment on our dinner at Ruby Tuesday's. Instead, I'll just say that Aedan was a little sweetheart and ate while I was eating my salad then slept so I had both hands free to eat my steak.

DH and I picked up 2 more birdhouses and some poles and flanges to mount them today. They won't be put up till next weekend but the birds are already on the move here! It's early! But I'm not complaining about that! I enjoy a busy bird feeder. I still need to pick the perfect locations for them.

Congrats on your new purchase! We recently got a smart tv as well. At first, I was a bit disappointed in it, because everything looked strange. I'm no connoisseur, but shows I knew to be quite pretty in the cinematography dept. looked as if they were filmed with a cheap digital camera. Everything looked hyper realistic. Some fiddling with the settings eventuallyade it a bit better...or maybe I just got used to it. Nature shows, like Planet Earth, are really fun to watch on one of these new-fangled contraptions. As are newer movies filmed with HD viewing in mind.

Speaking of, we've had quite a bit of fun this week with "Round Earth," which is a spoof on the entire nature show genre. Humor is always a positive addition after work, especially that which reminds one to not take oneself too seriously.

I don't like Mondays; that's why I prefer to work from home on that day.
With Missy around and with plenty of sweets and treats in the fridge, working on Monday is always a great pleasure.

Missy started her day by inspecting my desk and reported "all clear" for a productive working day.

Another lovely day here in cold NH. Got a cool photo of sunrise and ice/snow. I don't know why but I am fascinated by the ice on the ledges here-always loved the look of ice.

When I got home most of the snow has already started to melt-the roof has an inch or less. I shoveled the deck off of 4 inches so Miss Honeybee can play outside this week. We are supposed to get in the high 60s by Thursday-which means more bike riding! YAY~!

This was yesterday morning.
