Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my turtledoves!  How are you?  We’ve had some nice days recently.  At this point, temperatures in the fifties and sixties are “warm.”  I believe we’re still running colder than average, but spring is busting out all over.  The cooler temperatures might slow down growth in some species of plants, but they’re used to millions of years of this.  The grass will actually growth faster and thicker in the cool, sunny weather.  I’m sure that those of you who mow are already aware of this.  We have cool season grasses that go dormant when it gets too hot and dry, then rebound in the autumn coolness. 

Oh, also, just so you know, maintenance of grass is the most labor intensive of all groundcovers.  Plant wildflowers instead.

Oh my, the local news is still full of burglaries and robberies.   Please be vigilant, my fellow JTIs and others.  Be aware of where you are and what’s around you.  It’s terrible that we have to live this way, but such is modern life.

Who went to Pancake Day?   Señor Zanza, Junior, and I went, that’s who.  We had a great time stuffing our faces and gabbing with people we’ve never met before.  Of course, Señor Zanza stays slim no matter what he eats or how much.  He has the metabolism of a child.  Junior, on the other hand, should probably lose a few pounds.  Me, too.  Oh dear.  Well, we weren’t thinking calories when we ate a Pancake Day.  No one there was.  You go to Pancake Day to forget about calories and have a good time.  Plus, it helps the Kiwanis, who help us.

I would like to comment on BL Basketcase’s blog entry, “The Down and Dirty” -   http://www.jtirregulars.com/2014/05/thedown-and-dirty-by-barbamedic-right.html I believe it’s a wonderful piece of writing.  Really, my dear, you have a talent for the written word.  I look forward to future entries.

Finally, my sweets, I present to you a video about cats and drinking.  Please, if you recognize your cat’s behavior in any of this video, get help for him or her.  The only way to deal with alcohol abuse is to face it head on.

 

Your cat has to want to sober up in order to make it stick.

Thank you so much for reading my blog this week.  I love each and every one of you, even you “regulars.”  Tee-hee.

How many pancakes did Madame Zoltar® eat?  Ask: madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com

It’s supposed to warm up as the week progresses.  Maybe even 70’s over the weekend.  Oh my.  Break out the sun block and sun glasses.  It’s time to enjoy the weather again, rather than hating the winter cold.  Ebriose!

Hearing you talk of pancakes makes me hungry. I think I'll do waffles for lunch. Thanks Madame for all you do.

Thank you Madame Z. I am a huge fan of yours I want you to know!

I am glad you have forgiven me from
The past for stating that I thought you ate too much chocolate because your
Face is rather rounded. But the past is the past! I thought you would never
Speak to me again. Thanks again Madame Z ! Pancakes are awesome!
And you rock!

Yes, know and watch your surrounding specially in smaller stores and businesses. Listing to the police radio every day there is a robbery or 2 and generally 2 people doing it.
