We got this picture of the cat pile, yesterday. The only kitten missing is Susan. Both Junk Pile kitten and Pump Shack kitten are in there, too!
Right now, I’d love nothing more than to do what they’re doing right now!
We had a second Thanksgiving Day today!
Continue readingA bit of an update as to how things are going with our budding mead. Visit here to catch up on the process.
Continue readingI wasn’t able to get back to working on getting the tire planter out (I can wiggle it a bit more, though! :-D ), but yesterday evening I decided to deadhead the spirea by the storage house.
I also cut them back from the grapes they were starting to encroach on again.
As I was doing that, I noticed some dead branches and figured I may as well take them out, too.
And those other ones.
Oh, and there are a few more…
Just a bit more…
The next thing I knew…

I haven’t made a solid post in a while, so it’s time to catch up on things.
The short version is pretty simple.
I’m tired.
So tired.
Which is actually one of the reasons I bit the bullet and saw the doctor a few days ago.
Continue readingThis morning was more relaxed for me, thanks to my family taking care of critter feeding. Before heading out to take my mother to her doctor’s appointment, I just had to switch out the memory card on the trail cam, then do some of my usual walk-about.
While walking in the outer yard, past where the grass is overgrown between trees, I noticed a large area of the grass trampled down. Some creature or creatures had surely been tumbling about in there!
As a paused to look, there was an explosion of cats and kittens from under one of the trees!
Continue readingSince we brought bitty little Dave into the house as a permanent addition, the other inside cats were not too sure what to make of this strange new presence!
Mama cat and DahBoy were mostly perplexed. Fenrir, on the other hand, was not a happy camper! She would hiss at him and sometimes even bat at him. Yet, she couldn’t seem to stay away from him, either, following him around all over the place, frequently.
He, on the other hand, was quite used to having large numbers of cats and kittens show up, so a few strange new cats wasn’t much of a big deal for him. He would sometimes run up to the other cats, much to their dismay, and had no problem pushing his way into their food bowls.
It’s been a week since he’s joined our household, at it seems we have reached a turning point.
Fenrir has gone from hissing at him, to at least accepting his nearby presence.
The plan was; head out in the late morning to get the tires torqued, then keep on going for a quick trip to the city.
Seven hours later, we finally get home!
But before I get into that, here’s what we got to come home to.
