All in the Rearview Mirror!

There is a benefit to being on the road at 7am.

This was the sunrise as I headed east with Tula safely in the trap placed right behind  and between the front seats so she could see me, and I could comfort her by wiggling my fingers through the cage sides as we travelled to Hillsville for her spa day.

At 11pm the night before I was restless, unable to sleep - just HOPING we could get her to go in the cage far enough to trigger the trap.

She is such a little thing that even her feet didn't bring the door down.  And when we tried to encourage her further, she took off.

Just prior to 11pm came the text: " Almost caught a possum but we scared it off.  Tula is sleeping on the porch NEAR the trap.  I will check at 6am and let you know..."

I dreamt of traps full of possums all night long!

But awoke to a text that Nola had been able to encourage her into the in the morning, and manually closed it behind her.  Job well done - long journey begun!

Lovely facility!

The folks were so welcoming and understanding - I dropped her off at 8:15am and the wait began.

Because it is so far from home I made plans to head to Roanoke to visit with my friend Sally who was in town to visit her daughter and family.  

We caught up on all things - including lunch out.  More on our time tomorrow because there is more to cover today.

4pm, on the long drive back home.

This sweet girl did so well.  She barely made a peep either on the ride to the vet, or the ride home.  

She is currently in an enclosed bathroom in the garage - has a comfy bed, food and water and a litter box.

They suggested I keep her sheltered for 24 hours before letting her find her way back to her outside world.

They also notched her ear - a sign that says "Yup! She's spayed!" should she decide to move on to greener pastures elsewhere.

However - I have a feeling she will stay.

April fools hilarity!

LAUGHING!

This is what I walked into Saturday morning for Winter Blues workshop day 2 - APRIL FOOLS!

Everywhere I looked there were googly eyes staring back at me.  SO MANY - as in there must be a hundred?  They were everywhere.  

I never laughed so hard - my sides hurt!

Even the kitchen knives!

And the wall art.  LOL!

I couldn't post them all individually so put them in a slide show.  Click to Play:

I love how this was a fun and non-malicious way to celebrate April Fools day.
in fact, the googly eyes can remain in many places for others to enjoy until they just fall off from us laughing too hard.
There is more fun with Nola's Bonniacs to fill the next few days.
I came over to the inn at 7:45 this morning to see them off, and to check in on Tula to see how she was doing.  She used the litter box just fine and is eating well.
Laundry is running, the sun is shining - I'm catching up on this late morning blog writing and then I plan to be loading a quilt into the longarm and spending my spring break quilting!
How about you?
