Sometimes, you need to go back, to go forward.
Yes! She has finally brought them out! This evening, we had our first sighting of Slick’s babies. All six of them. I counted three tuxedos and three tabbies, and it turns out they live in the branch pile. I am so glad she’s bringing them out while they’re still so small. Our chances of getting … Continue reading First sighting!
Here it is… My hot water tank and pump collection. Plus the original driver’s side door from our previous vehicle. My brother and his friend got it all out, late this morning. As expected, the modern tanks were relatively easy, and could just be carried up the stairs. The old, original tank’s inner chamber, however, … Continue reading Done, done and not yet done
Well, the stump grinding didn’t happen today. It started raining around the time they were expected to arrive. So… next week some time. This morning, while feeding the yard cats, I got a head count of about 17. The highest in quite some time. Not counting the skunks, one of which came bounding across the … Continue reading A bit of this, a bit of that
… after a much interrupted night. Ghosty knows that if she digs into things, it wakes me up. I’d sit up in bed and see her looking at me from wherever she was that she wasn’t supposed to be! Usually, I can figure out that she’s letting me know the food bowls need topping up, … Continue reading Another quiet day
Today has, somewhat surprisingly, been a day of progress. Surprisingly because I was dealing with the pains on and off today. I was fine when I went to bed, then got awakened by the pain in the wee hours of the night. I managed to finally fall asleep and it was gone by the time … Continue reading Morning in the garden, cute critters and finally got it done!
I did get a decent amount accomplished today. Got rained on for some of it, which I didn’t mind. First up, I just had to share this clip from the outside critter cam that I found. That’s Sweetie in the front. The cats gets along with the raccoons, but I don’t blame her at all … Continue reading A quiet day
*sigh* This is what I found this morning. The complete and utter destruction of our corn patch. Clearly, the motion activated noise maker did nothing to deter the raccoons! I found a whole three cobs that looked untouched. You can see in the last image, what was in them. Basically, just one cob that had … Continue reading Our 2026 Garden: utter destruction
Today turned out to be a relatively productive day. More than I expected it to be, considering I woke up in pain. Which was odd considering I was up for a while between 2 and 3am, and had no pain, but when I woke again at about 6am, there it was. I went out to … Continue reading Breakfast buddy, a great idea, and little garlic
Today has turned out to be a lovely day to work outside. After feeding the yard cats, I gathered a small harvest before watering the garden beds. Just a few bush beans and some Golden Boy celery. Later this evening, while looking at the tomatoes with one of my daughters, I accidentally harvested some! They … Continue reading A small harvest and garden progress
So the past couple of days have been SO much better, it just blows me away! Yesterday, I was not only well enough to go into the city for the stock up shopping at Costco, but felt well enough to keep on going after everything was put away and we’d had supper. I headed outside … Continue reading Catching up
