Wednesday, March 6, 2013Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2009. Mattie was given this beautiful rainbow balloon and I snapped a photo of him holding it because he looked so cute with it over his head.

Well so much for the winter storm Saturn. Everything was closed down today in Washington, DC. From schools to the government. Panic ensued and yet in the city all we received was a day of rain! This morning when I looked out the window, I saw a puffed up mourning dove by our feeders. The birds were appreciative to have access to seed, and several came by to visit! I can safely say there is NO white stuff to report on the ground. 
I spent several hours working different projects today. While busy, my buddy wasn't far from me. As you can see Patches was in her perch, sitting on a green fleecy blanket. Patches no longer demands food. She has hyperthyroidism and used to be hungry ALL the time. Now with cancer, she has lost her appetite altogether. She is only consuming liquids.
I am not sure if it is this gray weather or working non-stop at home, but it has impacted my mood. I would say I am ready for the spring, fresh air, and to see flowers and greenery. Not that it changes things in my life, but it does bring some level of happiness to be outside.
Peter snapped this picture of Patches on my lap. This is now an evening occurrence. This may not look odd, but Patches has NEVER been a cuddly or affectionate type! Yet now that cancer has become a part of her life, she wants to stay close, looks for human contact, security, and affection. I am happy to know that in her hour of need, Nurse Patches is turning to me.
