I'm going to write a screenplay titled 'The Madness of Prince Madoc'

[Siwsan]

This morning he was acting like a Krazy Kat.

It's normal for him to pounce on my feet and try to pull the duvet off of me as a way to let me know he wants breakfast. NOW!!!

This morning that behavior continued well beyond what was an early breakfast. I tried, I really, really tried to fall back asleep after I dished up their food. Madoc decided that was not to be. He finished eating and then returned to pouncing. And pouncing. And pouncing. They he decided to psych me by curling up next to me and act like he was behaving. I took a look and he was staring ominously at the ceiling. As soon as I looked up, he started attacking my feet. Again!! I finally gave up any hope of a late start to my day.

On a bright note, as I walked past the living room I noticed Sian intently staring out the window. Sweet Dylan was on the other side but he wasn't paying attention to her, despite her frantically pawing at the glass. He was staring very wistfully at me.

It's going to be in the low 70's today so I will take advantage of that and give the porch another good sweep. They might be transitioning back outside much earlier than I anticipated. And, yes, the porch will always be available for shelter from bad weather and for snuggles when I'm using it.

1. awwwwww, thank you for an update on our nieces and nephews. Prince

Madoc obviously did not want his mom to miss any of this beautiful day.

4. It's hard to believe it is still February

I'm going to open the windows, today.

6. We have had low to mid '60's here and there all winter. But then here, that

is completely normal.

7. We average around 50" of snow in the Winter. This year?

In mid-Michigan, maybe 8". Other parts of the state got more but I doubt anyone reached average.

8. We don't get that much snow, but it has rained quite a bit.

[Siwsan]

10. We did get what seemed like an unusual amount of rain for Winter

I read, somewhere, at 1" of rain equals 10" of snow so at least we got SOME moisture in to the ground.

9. We actually

have a maple out back blooming! Tonight it’s going to get down in the teens. Will likely take care of the blooms on the tree.

2. Perhaps it should be, "The Madness of Prince Pounce".

[Siwsan]

3. I like that!!

Of course, now that I'm up and about, he's sleeping.
