I like when our Sunday day of rest turns out to be an actual day of rest! While doing my rounds this morning, I let Potato Beetle out of the sun room. Today, he ignored this personal food and water bowls in favour of the outside ones. I love how Nosy likes to just sit … Continue reading A quiet day

Winter is not quite done with us, yet
After getting teased with spring, the temperatures lurched back downwards last night. Also, I am SO tired of our intermittent internet. It took me forever to get any of my weather apps to load! We'll be able to switch back to the primary account soon. Hopefully, that will be better again. 
As I write … Continue reading Winter is not quite done with us, yet

The Potato is done!
Finally! We got Potato Beetle to the vet today. When I did my rounds this morning, I did let him out of the sun room. I figured it would be good for him to stretch his legs and ... do things. (The litter we had for him looked unused, but that plant pot was knocked … Continue reading The Potato is done!

Our 2021 garden: Baker Creek order arrived!
I made it to the post office while running errands today, and had a small package waiting. I just sort of assumed it was for my daughters or my husband, but nope! It turned out to be my last minute order from Baker Creek. I am totally shocked that it arrived already! When I placed … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: Baker Creek order arrived!

The gatekeeper of cuteness!
While the inside cats - at least one of them, anyhow - were busily trying to destroy our bunching onion seedlings, the outside cats were far more civil and adorable! When I headed out to do their food and water, I opened up the sun room door, so Potato Beetle could come out. He was … Continue reading The gatekeeper of cuteness!

Our 2021 garden: damage control
I'm about ready to start throwing cats outside! 😦 This is what I discovered, this morning. The long piece of insulation across the top is what had been blocking the opening on the back of the tank lid. You can even see the claw marks in it! Some nasty little beast managed to pull one … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: damage control
