Urban Cats 4, Farm mice 1

Well things are going okay at the farm so far. The pets are settling in and the city cats are learning what fun it is to catch them little mice. The dogs are having a ball running about and learning about the farm.

The unpacking is about done still have a few things I just don't know what to do with-something will have to go. I have a lot more useless clothing that will have to find a new home and a few bits and pieces of furniture that will will also find a new home.

The telephone situation is still up in the air-I have been led to believe that it would be put in on January 9th and it didn't show up. Today I cornered a man in a telephone truck and he checked on the problem and now it is scheduled for the 17th. We shall see. Seems that the neighbor next door wouldn't let them put a new pole in on her property to bring a line over to mine. So, the telephone company called the electric company and as the electric company has a right of way through her property and they will put in a pole so the telephone company can use their right of way. The way I see it more companies more ways for things to be messed up. This I think will be a saga.

Otherwise things are going along at a much slower pace and because there is no phone or cell phone available things are very very quiet at the farm. For access to the world wide web I use the local library. So that limits my options also. My life has changed pace quite a bit, from rush rush do it now, right now, to well sure we'll get her done-soon enough :)

Got to love this country life :))

I have 8 cats and only occasionally does one show up with a mouse. i guess the word is out in the neighbourhood and the mice give my very accessible old house a wide birth.

Enjoy not having a phone. I think they are hateful intrusive things. I have one only for emergencies. I often turn the ring off.

When I last dropped you a note it was about the kind of horse you might choose. Any decisions? I had suggested a Fjord or Canadienne horse.

I hope you will get to blog more often, when the phone line is in.

I am enjoying your adventure.

Your life sounds so wonderful!! Hope the phone line works out soon for you. If you get a phone line you could get a generator and run it an hour or two a day for internet service and anything else you might need electric for.

YAY, Kitty-Cats! And glad the dogs are enjoying country life so much, too. :)
