Oh, man, I did NOT want to go out today! Yes, we were a lot warmer than yesterday. Technically, it was -10C/14F when I went out to feed the critters. Stepping outside was like being smacked in the face with ice. We have GOT to do something about that gap in the wind break from … Continue reading Can I turtle, yet?

It’s here!
Yes, our Starlink system is finally here! When we first signed up for it, we read that it would be sent by mail. After it was ready to be sent and fully paid for, my husband started getting notifications about FedEx delivery. Which was weird for our area, but whatever. It was due for delivery … Continue reading It’s here!

Just in time!
First, an update on our furry little patient. Tuxedo Mask is doing just fine. His eye is looking good, and he's been more active. The girls treat his eye in the evenings, then top up the kibble for the outside cats. He hasn't been trying to dash outside, but he has tried to get into … Continue reading Just in time!

The good, the bad, the “someone just shoot me now”
What a day. What a long day that started really well... I had a very enthusiastic crowd waiting for me this morning. Including the new edition. I was even able to pet her a few times, though she kept moving away when I did. But yes, I was able to confirm. Our new addition is … Continue reading The good, the bad, the “someone just shoot me now”

Pretty faces, and most of a day gone
Just look at who I got to say hello to, this morning! The beautiful Nosencrantz let me pet her, but wasn't too happy about me coming any closer, so I let her be. While this handsome gentleman (yes, we have been able to confirm Agnoos is male - and I may as well spell his … Continue reading Pretty faces, and most of a day gone

Our 2021 garden; what a difference rain makes! Plus, a possibility
We got a pretty substantial rainfall last night. We are supposed to continue to get rain through today and into tomorrow, too. Which means I won't be getting much done on the raised garden bed, but that's okay. We need lots more rain - and hopefully get the mild, wet winter the Old Farmer's Almanac … Continue reading Our 2021 garden; what a difference rain makes! Plus, a possibility

Morning kitties and morning harvest
I got to give Nosencrantz full body pets this morning! She hadn't even started eating yet when she let me pet her - and she was purring! Then she joined her Grandma Butterscotch for breakfast. 🙂 Do you see that orange over on the far right? That's Rolando Moon. She's still around! It looks like … Continue reading Morning kitties and morning harvest

Our 2021 garden; more firsts – and SO many kittens!
While heading out to do my evening rounds yesterday, I topped up the cat kibble - and got invaded by kittens! There is only one adult cat in the kibble house in the above photo, plus Rosencrantz and her two are at their private dining area under the shrine. All three litters of kittens were … Continue reading Our 2021 garden; more firsts – and SO many kittens!

Double rainbow, and will it survive?
Yesterday evening, we found ourselves having another wonderful, solid rainfall! Enough to kick out our internet, but it was well worth it. Then, even as it was still raining above us, the setting sun lit up the more gorgeous rainbows. This is how it looked from the inner yard, beautifully framed by trees. But we … Continue reading Double rainbow, and will it survive?

Never quite good enough, and bigger concerns
Before I get into my topic, here's a Ginger picture for you to enjoy! I interrupted his nap! 😀 Such a sweet baby boy he is! 🙂 Now, onto less fun stuff. I mentioned in my last post about our garden progress, that I'd showed photos of the pea beds to my mother. As expected, … Continue reading Never quite good enough, and bigger concerns
