The 2014 Daytona 500 is currently in a rain delay so I wanted to knock this out.

Well I slept in this morning if 07:30 counts as sleeping in. I was wiped out from all of the stuff I did yesterday and the longer than normal fire we had last night. Speaking of last night we had a tag team effort of sorts. The cats were hunting a rat and then seemed to lose interest. Nobody was paying much attention and then Nike started her hunting thing she does only she was by my desk. Moments later she was really keyed into something in the kitchen. I pulled a cooler out of her way. She kicked into frenzy mode and I heard the familiar squeaking of a distressed rat. That rodent had come into the house! Nike killed it quickly and then carried it outside and set it down next to Yane’. What a gift.

There were three more Monarchs today, and it was reported that we have fifteen caterpillars. One of the butterflies flew to the side yard. What I saw truly surprised me. A pineapple is growing in one of my very neglected container pineapple plants.

Well I want this to be brief so I’ll end it here. Tomorrow it’s back to the journey starting with a 05:30 wake up.
