KYLE’S B&B: Latest News & Random Thoughts

If you’re looking for the Kyle’s B&B blog, yes, it’s true… we’ve moved on to a, (hopefully!), better locale! I’d been hinting about it for a while now, and I’ve finally made the move. You can access the new blog by CLICKING HERE. Or, if you want to copy & paste, here’s the address:

And let me say a big THANK YOU to blogsome for hosting the Kyle’s B&B blog these past couple of years. It’s been nice, but it appears the blog space at blogger might be a little easier to use & to customize, (yeah, I’ll miss the vegetable header here, but I think it’s time for a change!). Excelsior!

Oh, wait…that’s my cat, Ginger! Yes, there she is, outside checking out the newest snowfall, (and we thought Winter was over?). We got hit with a pretty major snowstorm here in Northport over the weekend, although it didn’t amount to too much snow accumulation. It did, however, coat everything with ice, and even though the snow is not too deep, it’s pretty slippery! Ginger, of course, is quite psyched, as the only time of year that she gets to go outside and run around is when there’s snow on the ground. But, with daytime temps above freezing for the rest of the week, and the first day of Spring on Tuesday, this snow covering looks to be short-lived. (Sorry, Ginger!).

Who says St. Patrick’s Day has to last for only one day? When you’re Irish, it’s really a month-long celebration. In honor of that, I’m posting pics of the 3 Irish Kyle’s B&B characters…Breyer, Sean, and Kyle. OK, well, Breyer’s only half-Irish, (and half-Jewish …and 100 percent Canadian!) …. Sean’s 100 percent Irish, but hasn’t been around the B&B in a while….and Kyle’s 3/4 Irish. Put them all together and that’s, like, 2 and 1/4 Irish guys. Or something like that. Hell, they’re Irish, let’s leave it at that. I’m sure I speak for all of them when I wish you a Happy St. Patrick’s month …. which, by the way, does not have to involve celebrating with alcohol. And you don’t have to be Irish at all, actually. Just get out there and enjoy the cool first days of Spring, wear your green, and smile!

In regards to my previous post….about winter being a thing of the past, (for this year, at least?). I was WRONG! As I write this, the temperature has plunged to an arctic 9 degrees F here in Northport, (that’s -13 degrees C). And some snow is on the way tomorrow, (though it sounds like it’s going to be light). In any case, in the pic above, you can see Midnight is wisely staying indoors to avoid the frigid temps, and soaking in the sun before the snow clouds arrive. Where’s Ginger? Fast asleep, snuggled up on her favorite quilt, dreaming of the snow to come, which she assumes I’ll let her out to run in. We’ll see about that!

Could it be that we’ve seen the last snow of the winter here in Northport? Seems possible. In the pic above, Ginger is outside tentatively checking out the receding snowfall. A rainfall yesterday washed even more of it away. With daily temps in the 40s, sure feels like Spring! And Ginger’s thick winter coat is shedding in clumps …another sure sign that winter is on the wane! (By the way, a note to all cat-lovers reading this… no, neither of my cats are outdoor cats. But I do let Ginger outside occasionally in the Winter, when there’s snow on the ground, for short, supervised excursions. She’s a true snow-cat, loves to run her lynx paws across it. Here’s another pic….isn’t she sweet? Almost looks like she’s flying into the clouds!).
