Summer with its heat and humidity arrived this weekend so the cats did what they do best, slept away the hottest part of the day in air conditioned comfort. I, on the other hand, fought with the wheelbarrow and won, hauled 15 bags of mulch around, fertilized all the pots, transplanted lettuce, stopped to smell [...]

Yesterday’s goose encounter reminded me of this photo I took last month. I was putting my cart away after visiting a big box store and noticed orange cones up around an island in the parking lot. Mother Goose apparently took a liking to this tiny patch of dirt surrounded by acres of cement. Some generous [...]
A hungry cat is not picky
Posted in Cats on Mar 1st, 2009
As I mentioned before there’s been a stray cat prowling around our house for the last few weeks, marking his territory by spraying every door, shrub and flower pot. Well he’s still here. But the spraying is better. As long as I don’t waste time bringing him food. Since he’s completely black with only a [...]
Not one…. Not two… But three…. pairs of socks have all decided to wear out at the same time. Pair #3 has huge holes in both heels and will probably get thrown out. They haven’t worn well and the colors are fading. Wish I could remember the yarn so I’d know not to buy it [...]
I used to sleep all night before I owned cats. I’d go to bed at 10 or 11 and sleep through until morning and never hear a sound. I never knew what I was missing. A noise woke me at 3:30 this morning. Since Gus was howling to go out, I decided to let him [...]
Once upon a time there was a beautiful little girl. She was the youngest of a bunch of kids. While her mother insisted she loved all her kids equally, the little girl was certain she was her mother’s favorite. (No, this isn’t about me, although Mom did love me best. <snark>) The little girl’s dearest [...]
I finally broke down and made gingerbread men and decorated them. Can you believe I’ve never decorated cookies before this weekend? Me neither. I found a recipe for light spice cookies which only required 2 tablespoons molasses, since that was about what I had on hand. (I know, who lets the supply of molasses get [...]
The evil eye

I didn’t need this quiz (found via Jessie at What Housework?) to know that my life depends upon how fast I can whip out a cat treat….
What was supposed to be an absence of just a few days turned into a week. As soon as we arrived home from Minneapolis on Tuesday we learned there had been a death in our extended family and the funeral was scheduled for Thursday. In Minneapolis. So we washed clothes, called on the neighbors to [...]
A tail tip short of committed
Posted in Cats on Aug 8th, 2008
When I started blogging I promised myself that I’d keep the cat pictures to a minimum. But this just cracks me up. Gus loves to be outside at night. As long as the temperature is above freezing he’d rather roam all night than be stuck inside with us. As soon as it’s twilight, he heads [...]
