I made a quick trip into town this morning and this is what I found when I came back. Six cats, all crowded together in the window! Yes, six. Can you see the last one? I think all four of Junk Pile's kittens are in there, plus Butterscotch's Bradicous and Chadicous. We've never been able … Continue reading Window kitties!

Some news
I had to dash outside to do a meter reading, and the boys dutifully and adorably posed for me! Aren't they sweet? Doesn't Tuxedo Mask's eye look great? It's his left eye that was affected. That, however, is not my news. I finally got a call back from our vandal's lawyer. He was quite apologetic … Continue reading Some news

Face time (and some good news)
I want to boop that nose!!! Nosencrantz is such a cutie!!! Potato Beetle is looking downright malevolent! 😀 It was a very chilly morning today, but that doesn't seem to have slowed down the cats, any! I tried to do a head count, but never got the same number twice, as they milled about, so … Continue reading Face time (and some good news)

My family is silly, and court update
First, the fun stuff! My family is silly. Yesterday, I roasted some chickens for the next few days and, since I had to get up earlier this morning, I had and early supper. I set out a bowl for the "bones and oogy bits" and labelled it before going to bed. This is what I … Continue reading My family is silly, and court update

Manual labour is good therapy, and a court update
I headed out early today, for my court date with our vandal. It's been a year, minus a day, since my first court date regarding my application for a restraining order was scheduled. It was a very, very long day. No, it's not resolved. But before I get into that, I will talk about something … Continue reading Manual labour is good therapy, and a court update

Sign progress
This morning, I finally started on the lettering for the new sign I'm making, to replace the one that was stolen. My brother had mentioned what I was doing while visiting my mother and winterizing her new air conditioner (and he even found the right size screws to replace the ones that were missing from … Continue reading Sign progress

Future wildflower area, and something’s missing
After breaking the lawn mower in the strip along the road, I finally got back to it, today. Here is how it looked before I started, from each end. I suppose one good thing about the drought conditions is that this area has never gotten overgrown. There were saplings starting, so I went over the … Continue reading Future wildflower area, and something’s missing

Sitting pretty, and an update on the unpleasant stuff
I was just heading back into the house after a quick version of my morning rounds, when I realized I was being watched. The Potato Beetle was all tucked in! For those who are new to this blog (welcome!), one of the things we did to help the yard cats over the winter, was create … Continue reading Sitting pretty, and an update on the unpleasant stuff

How things went this morning
Of course, because I actually needed to get a good sleep because I had to head out early for court this morning, that meant I got almost no sleep at all! Only part of that could be blamed on the cats being destructive in the night. 😉 Amazingly, it got cold enough that, for the … Continue reading How things went this morning

The hoard, and a frustrating update
Oh, my goodness! I'd been hearing on some of my local gardening groups that people were having a really bad time with grasshoppers. I knew it was just a matter of time before they moved North. And here they are. Do you see them on the gravel? All those specks? The dry grass is hiding … Continue reading The hoard, and a frustrating update
