Nap Time!

Dear Diary,

It has been a beautiful week, mild and sunny, with lots of melting.  Emerson has been enjoying a morning nap on the porch, in the sun of course.  This is the earliest he has done that.  Not being particularly partial to the cold, like his mom, he avoids the porch until at least late March or early April.  Well, he won't be out there today as our temperature plunged last night and it is, gasp, below zero this morning with a high of only 10F today!

The good news is that it won't last and it is still sunny and not much wind so we'll manage.  The other good news is that a Blip friend told me that Lizzy probably has a fungal condition and not the mange.  I researched it and it, like our frigid temperatures, is a temporary condition.  She is not in any discomfort and it will most likely grow back in time.  They said that fresh coconut would help but I went to my two local stores and no luck finding a coconut.  I will try further afield.

As to the computer, my friendly computer "geek" showed me how to restore things if it acts up again so I can hold off a bit from the purchase.  I want to get through my trip at the end of the month first.  I plan to up-grade too so I have to be patient. My word for the year again!
