The stakeout

This morning is a gorgeous sunny morning the type which you could allow yourself to believe that spring may actually arrive this year, in fact so sunny that the solar gain through the front windows has caused me to put the ceiling fan on for circulation and consider hanging the laundry out. This is the calm after the storm though as last night we ‘got a bit of wind’ here where the windows were bowed in and out with the force and the wind gusted down the chimney (well really vent pipe) for the propane fireplace. Whatever was going on with the fireplace caused the kitty boys (as evidenced by the photos) to go all CSI and try to figure out the phenomenon, with Stanley finally heading up on the mantle while the other two checked out below. Klyde gave up the surveillance first after about 45 minutes and meandered off for a nap but Gary who had begun the stakeout, and Stanley who feels he must do anything his hero does, were still staring at the front of the fireplace when I headed off for bed at midnight.
After the domestic chores are underway Keely and I are booked for a walk, then I have some Powerpointing to do if I'm going to make that presentation deadline. Hasta leugo.
