three more windows, and the end of the onion

 

Well I must be on a roll, because I was able to wash three windows today. And the crisp air, the deep sky, the coolness that came in while the chicken cooked in the oven - I cut up some potato, apple and onion with boneless thighs, added some herbs - that's something I should do more often. 

This morning I could not get enthused about hot buckwheat cereal, overnight oats, poached eggs, or eggs of any kind - I realized I was craving some lunch foods, so I had soup and a sandwich. It was perfect; if you've never had Amy's Quinoa Kale & Red Lentil Soup, please try it. I would like to figure out how to make it myself.

It took Daisy less than a week to mangle that poor little onion toy.


I gave her the beet. I think that will last longer - she doesn't notice it as often. From petmd.com:

"Cats have fewer cones than most humans. Because of this, they see fewer colors than we can. They also have two types of cones, enabling dichromatic color vision, which allows them to identify yellows and blues. In contrast, most humans (excluding those who are color blind) have three cones, facilitating trichromatic color vision, which recognizes red, blue, and green color combinations.

“Cats have a difficult time distinguishing red and green from each other, hence they are red-green color blind,” Miller says. Dogs are also red-green color blind.

There’s a possibility that your kitty may prefer blue and yellow cat toys because the colors are more attention-grabbing for them, while red and green toys appear as similar shades of gray. However, Miller notes that color is generally less important to cats because motion is what really grabs their attention."
