Eating healthy...


We had a discussion: one of us felt we need to "eat healthier"... the other of us is good with bacon and eggs in the morning.  So, we're eating healthier.

Joan makes a nice fruit plate each morning; has been doing that for a long time.  I figure that "cancels out" any issue with bacon and eggs.  Kinda like having a Diet Coke with pizza.

Yesterday and today, we had granola after our fruit.  I think the brand is "Bit 'o Sawdust - now with twigs and rabbit droppings!"  Yum.  Almost tastes like food.

Rufus made an interesting discovery this morning: one should not play with bees.  A few days ago while out for a walk, he discovered the little yellow butterflies.  He does not take them out of the air the way Izzy could.  He is also not focused on "the hunt."  Little Izzy discovered the little yellow butterflies have a powdery taste; a bit less chewy than "Bit 'o Sawdust," but still not particularly appetizing.  Rufus generally does not try to eat things he finds outside.  Oh, on occasion he will do the "cat pounce" because that hunter instinct kicks in.  Pretty sure he could not survive in the wild on his hunting skills.  You can tell if a cat is a good hunter when they don't have to look under their paw to see if they caught something.  When Rufus lifted his paw, I think the bee gave him a little shocking surprise in the cheek.

He decided that sitting in "his chair" for a while might be a good idea.  After a walk, a bike ride, and some exercises, I felt the same way... it was a beautiful morning for sitting outside.  He was licking his cheek; I was using my tongue to try to get sawdust and twigs out of my teeth.  Nice morning.
